YOUR WAY OF 'GIVING BACK'
|
|
|
Because of the generosity of our members and guests in donating to our 50-50 raffles throughout the year, we were able to donate $1,000 to Skal's Florimond Volckaert Fund again this year. Good going Skalleagues ... you can see how important these raffles are!

|
|
THE WEARING OF THE SKAL PIN AT MEETINGS
|
|
|
It has come to the attention of our discerning Executive Secretary Treasurer that many Skalleagues are attending meetings without their Skal pins. It is a requirement to wear your Skal pin at all meetings; and if you have misplaced yours, you may purchase another one from our esteemed Assistant Secretary Treasurer for a mere $5.00 [a steal]!
