District News District Two Annual Meeting at Lodge 24, Cyclone on May 22

The District Two Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, May 22, 2022, at Lodge 24, Cyclone, located at 411 FM 964, Cyclone. Registration begins at 1 p.m., and the meeting starts at 2 p.m. We are planning a great meeting. District officers will be elected. If anyone is interested in serving, please let us know.

We are asking all youth and adults to decorate a rock for the contest. Use your imagination in decorating. I know you can come up with a great idea! Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place winners. Come on everyone . . . let’s have a bunch of you enter decorated rocks.

District Two Youth Counselor Patsy Koslovsky is planning a silent auction for the youth club. She is asking for members to bring an item for this auction. Let’s help the youth raise some money for their fund.

Lodge 24 is planning a great meal for the meeting which consists of chicken spaghetti, salad, drink, and fruit. All of this will only be $3! Where else can you get a great plate of food for $3!

Please mark your calendar for May 22, and come on out to Lodge 24, Cyclone. Join members and friends for a great day together. Thank you and see you on then! Fraternally, Ruth Hanusch District Two Vice President/FAC —SPJST—
