Welcome
Distinguished Citizen Award Dinner
This event is our Lodges longest running event
This dinner has been a lodge fundraiser since our Lodge began in 2004. Each year a selection committee recommends a person or sometimes a couple people to our dinner committee. Then the dinner committee begins planning the event. The dates change because we always consider the recipient's schedule. The event is run by lodge members that volunteer. Any lodge member that would like to participate on this committee should contact, Gail Norup, Frank Mentone, or Len Ricciardelli. Or simply come to a Lodge meeting and volunteer.
