On November 14th, a few Brothers and family met at the the lodge to prepare a Thanksgiving Feast for the folks at Life Haven. This shelter houses women and their kids and we are a long time sponsor of the facility. After they packed it all up at our lodge kitchen, WB Keith Macdowall supervised the crew as they transferred it all over to the building in Fairhaven. Many thanks to our volunteers for carrying on this amazing tradition. We'll do it again in December for their annual Christmas party.
This summer, Brothers and families gathered at Paradise Hills Vineyard in Wallingford for a "Cornhole" Tourney to raise money the Tommy Fund in New Haven. Lots of money was raised at the Tourney and the raffle. It was a beautiful warm day at a wonderful location. Thanks to our hosts at the Vineyard and our brothers Dan Keirsted and Jerry Nero for some amazing picnic food.
