The grounds around the Moose Lodge are looking good! Karen Ventrone weeded the bank around the creek & Herb Miller & Karen did the Spring Stream cleanup. Ben York pressured washed the picnic tables & put in a fire pit. Dale Greer & Richard Stanbery trimmed all the trees & hauled away the debris.
We would also like to thank Brothers Ben York, Pat McConkey, Jim English, Bryan Miller, Barry Chappel and Mark Patterson for all the work they did in the kitchen.
We have been very busy cleaning and upgrading the Lodge inside and out.

WOTM News:
Thank you to the Scholarship committee & everyone who helped to make these scholarships possible. The board had a hard time deciding from all of the very qualified applications, but they could only choose two. The winner of the $700 scholarship is Joseph T. Bell and the winner of the $500 scholarship is Jamison Slate. The winner of the BBQ grill was David Pickard. Sometime in August, the Scholarship Committee will purchase $200 worth of school supplies to be given to Watauga County School board to be distributed to students in need. Go to our web sight to view some pictures.
Our first meeting for the month of July will be changed from Monday July 5th to Monday July 12th due to the Holiday. Regular times apply.
Don’t forget about Thursdays—that is “Ladies Night”. Drink specials for the ladies all day.
On the table in the lobby are some very informative booklets. One is all about the WOTM and the other one is about discounts available when you use your Moose card. Please help yourself to any or both of these booklets.
