Thanksgiving Dinner 2010
We held our second annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the community this year. It was a great success. We had thirty members of the community come down and enjoy a home cooked meal. Every one of them left happy and full. We had a bunch of volunteers and want to thank you all. You all did a wonderful job and we had a great day!

The Tree Lighting
The first Annual Tree Lighting fund raising event was held in Dover. It was held at the City Hall Auditorium with about 22 local businesses and organizations participated. The lodge thought it would be a great event to participate in. It was! Mike Dean picked up the tree earlier in the week. Dolph, Steve, Tom and Rocky helped put the tree in the base on Thursday night. On Friday, Rocky D'Andrea, Steve Moynahan, Ken Wolfe and Ron Maxfield took on the task The Tree Lighting - continued
of getting the tree to City Hall and decorating it... Oh yes..... it was a sight to behold! Mind you, that's four different decades of volunteers (70's, 60's, 40's 30's).
There was a silent auction held and our tree garnered $150. Our tree did not win the competition, but I’m sure we were close. We also donated $500 to the event in order to fund the lights for next year!
Fraternally, Stephen Moynahan
