I hope my article finds you healthy and staying indoors, in these uncertain times.

Instead of hosting sociating activities, events, and catered meals, we are working to provide from telephone contact to teleconferencing; from Skype to now Zoom to reach out to members.

I encourage members to check the National Supreme Lodge Website on scheduled presentation by National Membership Commission, such as using Zoom as your communications.

MEETING A DEADLINE, AT THE 11 TH HOUR
As you know we are not meeting...but our thoughts are with you all and the good times that were had at our Third Tuesday of the Month Dinners...

WORTH MENTIONING
A class mate of mine once said it was nice to have children for ‘spare parts’...he had a kidney transplant given by his daughter. WELL spare parts weren’t needed for Marie Davis, but children come in handy when you are recovering from a fall...and they take turns meeting your needs....

The Vallejo Lodges congratulate our 2020 Scholarship Recipients.

We may not have been able to fete them with an awards dinner, but we send good wishes and positive vibes for the start of their college years.

Last Month: Same as the month of May; sitting at home trying to figure out as much as possible during this “learning” experience, such as: how far is 6 feet; finding the directional arrows at the grocery aisles; a face mask doesn’t work when it is only covering your chin (New York Governor Cuomo says that is a “chin guard”; at Lockheed we called it a “snood”). I have washed my hands so much lately that I uncovered crib notes on my palms from a test I had in high school. I also learned that, while air at home is free, it costs $400+ per day when it is delivered via a respirator in a hospital.

The United Lodges of the Central San Joaquin Valley: We had to cancel our June meeting at Andiamo’s; my apologies to Jennifer. The next one meeting will be sponsored

Greetings from Petaluma!

I have been watching TV when I realized that today was the 20th and my article should have been sent in. I am hoping this article reaches the members of the Lodge. This coronavirus pandemic, having to stay in, has my days mixed up. I am surviving it with no problem, but I do forget dates and days.

I hope that all of you, my dear friends, are staying safe and are able to enjoy your families even tho we cannot give them hug or have them be close to us. I think that having our grandchildren communicate with us from a distance is the hardest.

I guess it will be quite awhile longer before we can hold a meeting and get together. Fathers Day will be over by the time you get this and probably the Fourth of July will be over as well. So I hope you
