Please reserve the date of Monday, May 27, 2013 to join in our Flemington Memorial Day Parade. In honor of all Veterans who have sacrificed in defense of our freedom. We encourage all members, the Lodge Auxiliary, their partners, teenage children and others to please participate. Our meeting point is on Church Street in the Strip Mall adjacent to Walgreen's Pharmacy @ 9:15 AM. The Parade kicks off at 10:00 AM and ends at the Monuments on Main Street where ceremonial events take place. The preferred manner of dress is black slacks or skirts, white shirts or blouses and comfortable black footwear. Following the parade we will return to the Lodge where food and soft drinks will be provided at no cost. Please look for the sign up sheet in the entrance foyer of the Lodge or contact me at 908-735-5460 or e-mail at m.n.fanelli@comcast.net. Let's salute our heroes with a great turnout. Thank you! Mauro N. Fanelli, PER
Army of Hope Report: Finally, I could not end this article without mentioning the passing of a good friend, great Elk and strong supporter of the Army of Hope committee and the multiple projects that we undertook. Doug Rogers will be missed and it will be impossible to replace all that he did with just one person. At any given time, he was always there to lend a hand or to run a function for the Lodge, Special Children's Committee, Veterans or the Army of Hope. First a friend and then a brother Elk…Sleep well, My Brother…Peace be with you GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES Bruce R. Totten - PDD
