My condolences to all those who have struggled with these times. Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful and appreciate what we have.

I can see that our fraternal family (OSDIA) is emerging

The vittles were supplied by “hot trigger” Tim and Kerry Herington (pork dinner), Jo Ann Copp and Terri Marraccino (salads), and Marylin Vecchio (desserts). Bernie also supplied fried chicken! Pat Dito and Jeannette Eber made sure the campfire

Flu season is here again … combine your shot with a COVID vaccination and reduce your worries.

Last month (October) we had our first get-together at Luna’s for salad and pizza; a good time was had just by meeting once again.

United Lodges of the San Joaquin meeting will be December 11 at the Hanford Historical Society building, so let Carol Watson know if you will be attending. Rides to Hanford can be arranged.

For our November meeting we are planning to meet again for a no-host meeting at Luna’s; stay tuned to your phone
