Greetings from Redding,

Our February two day Crab Feed is over and was very successful. We were sold out for both nights, had good crab and chowder, and a great raffle. We were joined by our State Deputy John Jefsen and his lovely wife Lorna and about ten other members of the Vincenzo Bellini Lodge from Chico. We were also joined by our Third State Vice President Louie Lodi and his guest.
