2 nd Annual Special Ladies Program - M/S Mount Washington Brunch Cruise Sunday August 28 th, 2016 Greetings Brethren! When is the last time your Lodge hosted a program for your Special Ladies? Last year Olive Branch Mount Prospect #16 scheduled a cruise for our Ladies. Once word spread in our district, we realized there was a great interest in this becoming a larger event. We opened it up to the state and before we knew it, 9 Lodges and over 120 people attended! This truly became a special event and we hope to have an even greater number this year. We learned a few lessons in our first year and hope to improve each year to make this the best event possible. We hope you join us and look forward to your response! -Nate Fuller, Event Coordinator - naterfuller@gmail.com/603-968-9340 Who can go: This event is open to all Special Ladies, their friends and family, and the Brethren and their families in support of the Special Ladies.
