SHASTA LODGE #2453

Greetings from Shasta Lodge!

Did you know we have almost 130 members now, and are still growing.

Summer is just a few days away and I hope you are all enjoying this perfectly warm weather we are having.

Bocce league is still going strong. We have had beautiful weather and everyone is having a great time. We love having spectators come and watch everyone play. Hopefully this league continues to grow each year. It really is such a fun time.

What a great turnout for our 45th anniversary party. We named our most honored member for 2024. Congratulations to Kathleen Duval! Very well deserved. A little bit about Kathleen. She moved to Redding in 2020 and joined the lodge in 2021. She is currently a trustee on our council. She is always there stepping up for any event and anything we need. She is funny and kind, gets along with everyone, and always has a smile on her face. We all just adore her.

On May 16, several members from our lodge volunteered for the 71st annual Asphalt Cowboy’s pancake breakfast. This is a yearly tradition for us to volunteer this event. We work together with this great organization on many events. These hard workers show up at 3 AM and serve around 20,000 pancakes.

Mays general meeting was Cinco de Mayo themed and our kitchen boys prepared some amazing food for everyone.

This month we will be presenting scholarships to our four recipients at our general meeting (more to come next month).

It has become a yearly tradition for the council to put on a barbecue every June at our general meeting with hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the fixings.

Lastly, for those of you going, have a great time at convention!

Until next month…
