Well I didn't get discouraged by the last meeting. I have been reading the book how to win friends and influence people, that my brother from Grandview so kindly recommended. I took the three things that I want to get the lodge involved with and made a list when I got disappointed. I then added to the list till I had a bout 8 items and did my homework on each of them. They were presented to the lodge again along with the added items last Thursday.Persistence may have gotten the best of them. We adopted the three things that were shot down and even voted on two others that passed.
