Good day Brothers and Sisters!
CONVENTION TRAVEL …
There are two Conventions taking place … the June Provincial Convention in Cranbrook & the Grand Convention in Dallas, Texas happening in August. Money is being raised to off-set the cost of travel for all Members of FOE 3097 who are interested in attending as a group.
A ‘HIVE OF WORK BEE ACTIVITIES’ is being organized … one of which is making & selling MEAT PIES to help cover some of the travel expenses. All Eagle Members interested in being part of this Convention group are encouraged to participate in the production of these popular pies & any future organized ‘work bee’ activities that come up. The work shop will be held in the Eagles’ Kitchen (date to be announced). Please call Marlene Jordan (250-286-3171) to get your name on the work shop list & she will be able to answer any questions you may have.
