***************
Highlands Shrine Club: Special thanks to our members who helped with the
Golf Tournament on January 19: Ladies Marilyn Wilkin, Jeannette Craddock, Nancy
Keaveny, Sallie Lesesne, and Sissel Carr. Nobles: Sam Wilkin, Howard Craddock,
and Allen Carr.
Noble Sam Wilkin was awarded with a nice firefighter ceramic statue at
the golf luncheon for his efforts coordinating this HSC golf tournament and for
his firefighting work at the New York disaster on 9-11-11. Congratulations, Sam,
a very well-deserved recognition and honor. I’m sure that Lady Marilyn will find
just the right spot for the statue in their lovely yard among the plants and
flowers.
Best wishes, Sissel Carr
