Many of you are now aware and probably surprised to hear that Brother Tom Fiocca passed away recently following a courageous battle with cancer.  National President Chuck Canterbury and Lodge 12 President Todd Cox both expressed how valuable Brother Fiocca's service was to this Lodge, this country, and the movement to the betterment of public safety. Brother Fiocca will be greatly missed and please keep his family in your prayers.

St. Michael is the patron saint of warriors and soldiers and he looks after them on the battlefield.  He is patron saint of knights and of all trades allied to the production of weapons and scales.

Coastal  Carolina Lodge 12 has purchased tickets for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.  The game is scheduled for Sunday June 1, 2008 at 6:05pm vs the Frederick Keys.

Each ticket is $8.  $3 of that purchase will go towards food for the event.  Members of the Board will use the Lodge purchased grill to cook for the event starting between 2 and 3pm.

The ticket further verifies that this game is "Red Cross Night/ Fireworks".  This should be fun for the entire family!

Please contact Sister Jamie Bessett by email to reserve and purchase tickets at $8/each.  jbessett@sc.rr.com

Hope to see everyone there!!

Following the sudden resignation of Secretary John Stadelmann, the Executive Board unanimously voted and recommended that Brother Jamie DeBari be sworn in as Lodge Secretary.  As most of you know, Brother DeBari recently held the office of Lodge Secretary for several years and we are so excited to have him back on board.  He is sure to do an outstanding job!!!
