Dear Dedicated Members for Change,
Last chance to RSVP for our annual DMC gathering!
On Thursday, May 12, after the first day of sessions ends, please join me and other members of our Order at a special soiree called “Tacos, Tunes & Tales”, starting at 5 p.m. at the Grand Lodge hotel (the Modesto DoubleTree). This evening event is open to all Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and their guests. Please see the attached flier for all the details. There will be a taco bar for your dining pleasure, music provided by a great musical duo called “Cold Shot”, a no-host bar, some inspiring comments by some of our leaders, and plenty of time to socialize and chat. All this for a mere $10. Amazing, but true. You must RSVP for this event, so please take a moment to fill out the attached form, and mail it in with your check.
How did we keep the cost of this to just $10 per person? It’s because some Lodges have stepped up to be sponsors and help subsidize the cost. Thank you to the eleven Lodges who have contributed as Sponsors of the DMC event: Alameda (formerly Oakland-Encinal) Lodge #3 (contributed $500), Apollo Lodge #123 (contributed $500), Davis Lodge #169 (contributed $500), Windsor Lodge #215 (contributed $500), Berkeley Lodge #270 (contributed $250), Yerba Buena Lodge #15 (contributed $250), Golden West Lodge #322 (contributed $250), Morse Lodge #257 (contributed $250), Ocean View Lodge #143 (contributed $250), Mountain View Lodge #244 (contributed $200), California Lodge #1 (contributed $100), and Mission Peak Lodge #114 (contributed $100). These Lodges are co-sponsoring the event, and because of their generous donations, we are able to keep the cost of the event for each participant to a rock-bottom price of $10 per person.
And, again, if YOU wish to attend, print out the invitation, print the names of the attendees in your group or Lodge (use extra sheets if you need them) and mail the invitation and your check for $10 per person , payable to “Grand Lodge” to Grand Treasurer Jay Johnson, Grand Lodge of California, 14414 Oak Street, Suite B, Saratoga, CA 95070-6186. See you in Modesto in May!
