Lodge 84, Dallas Youth Club reports on meeting, activities
Dear SPJST, I’m so glad it’s summer! I get to go work at my Nanny and Grandpa’s house. Yesterday, a snake fell from one of her trees and scared my uncle. I’m not going to help her pick up pecans now because it was a huge snake. Cotton Wood, age 10 —SPJST—
Dear Readers, With the pandemic still a threat to everyone’s health, the youth of Lodge 84, Dallas continue to meet monthly via Zoom. We continue to stay busy with our monthly Vestnik projects, keeping current with State Fraternal Director Frank Horak’s webcasts and waiting for Youth Achievement Day project results and the upcoming State Youth Achievement Day in July. Additionally, we continue to work on potential community service project ideas and submitting our 100 Pennies Scholarship Fund Drive contribution. I am hoping to attend the mother lodge annual lakeside picnic on Sunday, July 18. The details are listed on page 14 of this week’s Vestnik. I hope you can come, too! Fraternally, Josh Tucker, age 12 —SPJST—
