Kitchen Grand Re-Opening
After much hard work and fundraising, the Mid-Century Lodge kitchen was officially re-opened for business in September. The fundraising project was undertaken by WB Carl Behm in early 2008. Unfortunately, WB Behm passed to the Grand Lodge Above before he could see the project to completion, but his lady, Jeannette Conant, took up the reins.
Jeannette organized and helped prepare several pot luck dinners and chili cook-offs over the next year and, together with the matching gift program of the Russells (Anson Sr. and Jr., both PMs), managed to raise enough money to have the kitchen stove remodeled and an updated fire suppression system installed.
Finally, in September 2009, Jeannette performed the ribbon cutting to officially re-open the kitchen with an inaugural spaghetti dinner. Stay tuned for an impressive menu of monthly dinners for the coming year!
