Message From the First State Vice President

Summer is coming to an end and I hope everyone is doing well. I was able to attend the Roma Lodge business meeting this month.  It was quite entertaining as the youth run this meeting and did a phenomenal job of it. Had a great meal and root beer floats. They then gifted all the junior members with a bag full of back-to-school supplies.  Brian Watson our Youth Chairperson drove down from Fresno to join me for the meeting and lend me his son Tyler Watson for the week.  I had great time with Tyler as he went with me to the bowling alley for my league, met a few of my clients, spent an afternoon at Dave and Busters and taught him the old guy has major skills when it comes to video games.  His Dad and Sister drove down on Friday evening and went to the Dodger game with my Lodge President Steve Guthrie, another friend of mine and Myself.  They retired Dusty Baker to their legend of Honor and we got Bobble Heads of him also.

I am looking forward to our Grand Council at sea next month and I hear we have close to 50 people going. I am hoping to make the Clovis meeting next week and will update all next month.

Sincerely,

Mark Vaona
State First Vice President
