Dear brothers of Council 5959,
Now that we are winding down the pandemic period, and are expecting we will return to normal, or at least a scaled-down semblance of one, we will start planning events for the 2021-2022 Fraternal Year.
Please do not standby and wait for someone else to do the planning, we need as many of you as possible to join our Program Committee, to enable us to collect a variety of ideas and gauge the quantity and type of events we will host.
To join our "2021-2022 Programs Committee" mailing list, click here and submit the opt-in form. This is a purpose-specific mailing list, which we will use to communicate with the program leadership committee.
All members will be invited to our kick-off meeting this Thursday, March 25.
Fraternally Yours,
PGK Manny
Program Director
