IN MEMORIAM
It is with deepest sorrow to announce the passing of our friend and brother, Michael “Mike” Binkowski. For all those who knew him, they knew him as a kind and generous man, with a great sense of humor. Mike was the Administrator of this lodge for the past 10 years. He assisted in getting our lodge to the award winning status that it is today, and also known across the country. We will miss him greatly. Rest in Peace dear friend. A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held at our Lodge on Sunday, July 22, 2018, from 1—6 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made in Michael's name to Mooseheart, 155 S. International Drive, Mooseheart, IL 60539.

From the Governor
Well, on some days it feels like summer is here, and other days...not so much! I hope you will enjoy all the upcoming activities that our members have scheduled for us, such as Steak Dinners, Luau/Pig roast, Family Picnic, and Summer Jam, just to name a few. I would like to thank all the new volunteers that have stepped up and helped with our Wed/Thur. meals and recent functions! We are always in need of vol-unteers. I hope all of our members have a safe summer and come out and enjoy many of the activities we have going on!
Fraternally, Bob Whalen
