Lodge 24, Cyclone reports on February meeting Lodge 24, Cyclone met on Monday, February 14, 2022, at Flag Hall amid the fields of growing wheat. The meeting was called to order by President Daniel Wilde at 7:08 p.m. He led the Pledge of Allegiance and had a silent prayer for our deceased members and for the situation in the world. Brenda read the minutes of the January meeting, and Linda Wilde gave the treasurer’s report that included the Squeezebox dance with Mollie B. The bar report was presented by Brenda Maddux. We received the incentive income and are indebted to Shirley Hoelscher and Brenda Maddux for the report. No FAC report was available as the lights interfered with the cell phone that held the report. We also discussed at great length the dance with Mollie B. Old business included a discussion on repairs - replacing ceiling tiles, leaks
in the roof, and commodes in the upper and lower restrooms. We also discussed upcoming dances - Kenny Orts in August (the date has not yet been finalized); a wedding dance on June 18 with public invited; and several more that are not yet settled. We will host the Rogers High School Prom on April 2. Sick list included Pauline Hoelscher. Get well soon. Birthday celebrants are Linda Wilde on February 17, Rose Vrazel on February 1, and Cathy Bruggman on February 16. For the Lodge, Bobby Hoelscher, Reporter —SPJST—
