Hello Members:
Here we are almost three years into this pandemic. Our lodge did get together in early December then Omicron reared its ugly head and here we are again, on hold. We will try to get together March 13 with a few new restrictions. This would be our members only St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner. We have many new members we need to initiate at this meeting if possible.

Must have advanced reservations by phone to 707-559-3119 - Must show your vaccine card with two Pfizer and one booster

Happy New Year! We at Cristoforo Colombo Lodge are hoping for a better 2022.

Our Lodge was not very active last year. Our annual August picnic had to be cancelled because of horrible smoke from the terrible California fires. We were all so looking forward to getting together socially again. It was a disappointment. However, we won’t look back and this August we will have a wonderful picnic. We have kept all the Lodges affected by the fires in our thoughts too.

Our annual Festa Primavera at the Elks Club was cancelled because of Covid. This is our big fundraiser so we were concerned. Our Lodge decided to do a Non-Festa Primavera Fundraiser. We were “filling the boot” with contributions, big and small, to make our goal of $8000. So far we have received $6,560. We are proud of our members for helping us through

Our Eureka Lodge #1274 Christmas Party at the Plaza Grill in Arcata was a fun and bright affair. Forty-one members and guests dined on a delicious dinner prepared by Uniquely Yours Catering Company.

This year’s Pinochi and Stagnoli Memorial college scholarship competition has begun. Please call Gene Senestraro at 707-442-6396 or Dianne Luzzi at 707-442-8812 for an application.

Hello from Redding,

We hope 2022 is going well for each of you. Shasta Lodge began the year with a very nice celebration of life for our dear friend Jean Russell. She is certainly missed by all of us. President Jim Nobili appointed Bob Gullixson to council as a trustee to temporarily replace Jean. He also appointed Jim Giacomelli as a temporary orator since Jim Lamanna has not been able to attend meetings for a while.

On January 20th we served a dinner to the Redding Police Explorers. Due to Covid there were fewer Explorers in

Cesare Battisti Lodge #1518 had a wonderful well attended first meeting in 21 months on December 12th at our new location. The rain kept a few people from attending but those that came (70 of you) had a wonderful dinner prepared by our Chef Ed and a good time finally meeting with other members, all vaccinated of course. We are staying with the second Sunday of each month but the time will be 12:30 to 1 PM doors open time with meeting to follow about 1:30 with our meal after that. I hope
