Now that we have successfully celebrated our 150th Anniversary, we will begin to gear up for other great events in the not so distant future.  We have our Annual Pancake Breakfast in April to honor the Lewisville Police and Fire Departments.  We will also begin to move into high gear in planning for and obtaining sponsors for the 2007 Race For The Children.   We hope you will consider helping your lodge in planning and executing a great successful race for 2007.  It takes all the brothers to make this best event it can possibly be, the more we have involved the more great things we can accomplish!
