Shasta Lodge #2453

Hello from Redding,

Shasta Lodge has now had two in-person general meetings and had a good turn out for the meeting in May. We also enjoyed having State Deputy John Jefsen and Lorna in attendance. We will have our annual hamburger and hotdog barbecue at the June meeting, prepared by the council.

BOCCE IS BACK! On Monday mornings, Sharon Roberts and Gerry Carroll have bocce practice at 8:30am for all who want to come and practice and play. You don’t need a team, just play with whoever is there. They usually have enough players for three full courts. And after a couple of games, those that want breakfast go across the street to one of our favorite restaurants… Lulu’s.

The City of Redding and Shasta Lodge are halfway through our Spring Bocce League play. The first night of league was very joyful, so nice seeing all our friends after a year of no bocce play. Lots of laughter and fun. John Tasello and Jim Giacomelli are the co-chairs with the City, we have eighteen teams, about half from Shasta Lodge. We play on Thursday evenings, then on Friday mornings, Jean Russell is in charge of a Senior Bocce League with eight teams.

Shasta Lodge is planning our first lodge event since March 2020. It will be over by the time you read it here. We are having a Drive-Thru Spaghetti and meatball dinner. We very quickly sold out 275 tickets and are looking to feed about 300 people This is the first time in over 20 years that we have had a drive through dinner. A lot of prep has been done and we hope it goes well. It is nice to be able to work together again.

We hope all you Moms had a happy Mother’s Day, and you Dads enjoy Father’s Day.

Ciao,

Your friends from Shasta Lodge.
