Rodenkired _ * • • Our grand opening party of last Saturday evening went over with a bang, as those in attendance will agree. The walls were really bulging. I think the lodge owes the women's chapter a vote of thanks for the wonderful "feed" they put on. Agree? A correction. from what was stated last week. The women's chapter will be formally installed on May 24 at 2 p.m. instead of the third Tuesday as was first planned. The committees have bean formed for the coming year and it is the hope of the governor that they will all be very active as it is only with their help the McHenry Ledge 691 will continue to giow and prosper as it has in itrf almost one year of existence.
