Letter from the Governor, Greg Cobbs First and foremost I would like
to Thank all employees and especially the volunteers that helped make
this summer at the Lodge so successful. As the weather begins to get
colder and wetter it reminds us that winter is upon us. With this in
mind one of my main goals is to get the inside of the Lodge cleaned up
and looking better. I am calling on all Brothers and Co-Workers to
volunteer and help me accomplish this goal. Please contact me or Willie

and Social Quarters more enticing.
