WOW Fall Fling changes to Fall Food Drive Everywhere you look remnants of the current economic conditions can be seen and felt. WOW society experienced it first hand with low registrations/interest for the San Diego Fall Fling. So low, in fact, that the Board of Directors decided to cancel the event and directed management to come up with an alternative national member event that will accommodate members’ fraternal gathering and sharing, yet limit their financial commitment to participate. WOW is bringing the national member event directly to you and your community. No travel required! Utilization of local food banks throughout the country is on the rise as more and more Americans lose their jobs. Food Banks are in desperate need of food donations For this reason, WOW has moved their focus for our national member event from the Fall Fling to the Fall Food Drive!! Seattle Lodge 29 is joining WOW in this national member event and plan a food drive for a local food bank between September 1, 2009 and October 31, 2009. The society will give national recognition to the camp/lodge and the individual member that donates the most. WOW’s national goal is based on 2% of their total membership of around 21,000 members. That involves 420 members and if we assume 5 pounds of food for each of those 420 members, we will have collected 2,100 pounds of food. Help us achieve our goal and get our lodges involved NOW!
HELP SEATTLE LODGE 29 TAKE ON WOW’s CHALLENGE!! Sisters & Brothers, family & friends -- Everyone is encouraged to bring canned goods to the Wed. Oct. 7 meeting, Veteran’s Nite Party on Sat. Oct. 17 and Onsdagsklub on Oct.21. The Seattle Lodge is collecting food to be donated to: HOPELINK http://www.hope-link.org/ The lodge will announce the total poundage collected and donated in Nov. newsletter
