Well we are looking at Christmas and the end of the year. Where did this year go? Father Time please slow down.
We had our elections at last night’s Stated Meeting. All officers will step up to next position and Matt Spradlin is our new O.G. I have high hopes for Matt and feel very comfortable that a good choice has been made. Please congratulate him next time you see Matt.
On December 4th we had our annual Foster Kids Christmas Party. We faced declining numbers with this event over the last several years. We have already been looking at what can be done differently. Any suggestions, just let us know.
We will take down Christmas decorations December 28th at 5pm. We sure need help with this. If we can get 8-10 folks out it will be short work. Help us out if you can.
We had a great fundraiser last Saturday the 9th. Blue Cross Blue Shield updated their office chairs again. We wound up with about 200 chairs. 102 were sold to their employees at $25 each with all money going to Maskat. That was $2,550 for about 3 hours work. These are quality chairs if any Noble is interested. $25 each – first come, first served. Call Cathy in the office to get hooked up Thanks to the Nobles that helped move chairs and a very special thanks to Roy Cheney for getting this event lined up. Atta boy Roy!
We also had another fundraiser December 2-3 at Bridwell Ag Center. 6 trees were decorated and displayed with $2 tickets sold to raffle the trees and gifts off. We were very busy selling tickets. This was Bill and Kathy’s child and it paid off. Over $1,100 was made after expenses. I believe the groundwork has been laid for a bigger and better event for next year. Good job Bill, Kathy, Linda Christoff, and the Nobles and Ladies that also helped.
As printed in last month’s Wildcat we will have about 8 suspensions at the EOY because of non-payment of dues. These folks are 2 years behind and most we can’t get ahold of. This will take us below 380 members.
Our next Stated Meeting is January 9,2024. We will install all the new officers and it is Ladies Night. So bring your special gal and let’s congratulate our new Divan. Dinner/Drinks/Cake will be served. Come on out.
Bill (C/R, upcoming Potentate) Hammack is going to have a “Meet Your Divan” event January 13th. Drinks and food will be available. Starts at 6:30pm. Come out and let’s show our new Potentate some support.
Last, our traditional Happy Hour is December 21st followed by the 1st one in 2024, January 18th in our own Oasis.
You guys are a special group and all very close to me. Please have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
Fraternally,
Calvin Carlton
