I hope this finds everyone doing well. The lodge held a “social gathering” on December 8th. All social distancing procedures were followed. The lodge manager continues on making sure all of the surface areas, common contact areas, and basically the whole lodge is wiped down soon as she arrives at the lodge. Rebecca is definitely making sure your lodge is disinfected. Mask are not required but optional. Outdoor seating is always available.
Everyone that showed up had a great time. It was a good turn out. The lodge lounge was open without restrictions.This year, a smoked ham was added to the turkey and baked ham dinner. Great job to the staff that prepared the dinner.
I plan on having a regular meeting in January 2021, but that will depend on the CDC and Hillsborough County. All I can do is keep everyone posted as to what we are going to do that is allowed by the state and county. It has been a challenge to make sure the members and guest are being protected to the best of our ability but at the same time, making sure everyone has a great time. I can only hope that we will not be restricted in January 2021.
The meeting will be January 12th for the regular meeting of General membership, door prizes and 50/50. We can only hope for the best.
I hope that will can get back on track in January 2021.
Please be safe and keep everyone in your prayers in this difficult time.
Happy Holidays to everyone
Fraternally,
John Couey
President
