DD Visitation in the Keys
Here's the 948 contingent from the DD Visitation at the Florida Keys Lodge in Tavenier today. They served up an excellent dinner of pulled pork, smoked chicken, beans & rice and plantains. In the picture: Mary McArthur and her daughter, ER Milton Muller, Leading Knight Bill Henderson, Lodge Secretary Ginger DiCristafaro, Jeff Muehlfeld and Janis Taylor.
For anyone who is interested, their lodge will be serving brunch outside by the water on November 30 from 10 AM to 2 PM.
Bob Rankin reminded everyone to support the President's Homecoming activities on February 20 in North Miami and on February 21 at 948.

The Veterans Honor Party was a huge success
According to all who attended, the Veterans Honor Party was a fabulous affair. The chow line SOS and sloppy joes were good, the ballroom was packed with a standing-room-only audience and the speeches and stories were a moving tribute to our 948 Veterans. We'd like to thank Nivia for having the idea and pulling all of this together. She'd be the first person to point out that it took teamwork to make it all come together - and many people helped - but Nivia was the driving force of this event and it was such a great idea. Here are a few pictures she sent. We should have more coming soon from Glenn.
