Please remember our “injured reserves” with your cards, calls and prayers.

Mary MacLaughlin close friend of Dale Lynch has broken her leg in three places.  After a few days in the hospital she is now rehabbing in the Masonic Home and is in good spirits.  Jane Rolloff wife of Denny was in the hospital a couple of days last week for tests and fortunately some medication adjustment was all that was needed.  The surgery went well for Romana wife of Jim Jorgenson.  They removed some lumps of tissue that were a bit puzzling but are benign.  Jim said they had an excellent surgical team and Romana is feeling fine.  It was great to welcome Joe Bifulk back to our risers last week.  Remember him and Lance Johnson as they fully recover from their joint replacements.  Loren Wuttke had a Chemo treatment last week and was to have another today.  He appreciates the cards and calls he receives.  Also remember Shirley Retter and Paul Wigley in your thoughts and prayers.

Please keep me informed about our sick and ailing members.

From Mark:

American Harmony - The Movie: It looks like there is finally some action behind getting American Harmony, the outstanding movie about barbershopping, a showing in the Twin Cities.  I need to find someone in the chapter who can play a coordination roll with a few of the other chapters that are going to provide sponsorship.  This shouldn't take much time on your part.  If anyone is interested please see me.

Ticket Coordinator:
I still need to find someone who is willing to look at the Ticket Coordinator role within the chapter.  Diana Pinard has graciously agreed to continue with this role through the Annual Show but we need someone who can apprentice with her to learn everything there is to know about the process.  Please see me if you have some time to spare and are willing to provide a big assist to the chapter.  Thanks.

Thanks
