The Start of a Long Trip is It’s First Step!
A Resolution, adopted Thursday 4/6/23, concerns covering the open canal. A subject which has irritated the membership for 51 years is now on the books to amend.
In 1972 our fledgling Board of Officers of Stockdale Lodge at just four years old, risked purchasing this empty building on only one acre of land to guarantee #2178’s existence in the City of Bakersfield. All these years later, we have finally laid the ground work to store away money in a special account called “Canal Fund Savings”
No date has yet been set for construction. Funds so far are over $100,000. This savings account has a guarantee of significant monthly deposits.
When at the Lodge note the mounted resolution on a walnut board displayed on the wall near the administrator’s office. A reminder that interest in this project stay ever alive in the minds of our membership.
The Canal Fund Committee: Chris MyersMainland, Rick Clemmons, Michael Stamper, Jim Smith, Debra Richardson, Michael Rouw and Tom Esser.
More to come monthly via this newsletter.
