Albert Lea Area Shrine Club News


April, 2008
Nobles,

Spring is finally here after our trying winter. Hope you all have your summer plans for vacations, fishing and driving those little red cars.

We had an enjoyable evening at Georges in Geneva. We had 30 people at the dinner thanks to our telephone committee and a big thank you to Noble Bob Hahn for making it work.

Dan Dorman was our guest speaker filling us in about the progress the city is doing to entice new businesses to come to Albert Lea, and how all cities and communities are competing for the same. Hopefully we will be more successful.

Lars reports we have ten invites for parades already. I think that's terrific-- thanks Lars. It was also reported we will have our traditional Steak Fry out at the Pour Farm again thanks to Rudy and Arlene. The date for that will be the 21st of May.

Our April meeting will be in Northwood at Signatures -- order off the menu -- We will have entertainment for you also so bring your friends, spouse, significant other and your FEZ.

Signatures is making a special night just for us. So remember! That's April 16th social hour at 6:30 dinner at 7:00.
