Cesare Battisti Lodge #1518

Sisters and Brothers, here we are over 17 months into this pandemic and we don’t seem to be getting anywhere. Stay safe, get your vaccine and wear a mask and soon, we just might be ending this crisis.

August 8th passed and it was to be our first post pandemic dinner meeting at our new location but at the last minute, with 103 reservations, we had to cancel. A real disappointment, and many emails and phone calls on my part. I am optimistic that we can meet in October but then, again, it depends on this virus. I am also hoping that our convention next year in Orange, California will be an opportunity for us to see all of our new officers in action and meet and greet old friends.

Please smile to someone (even under your mask) and be nice to someone and you will get the same returned back to you. As one of my teachers in high school used to say “Keep the Faith” ...Ernie Giono.
