VOICE OF THE GAVEL

Hello Brother and Sister Artisans;


  We are now into the home stretch of the year and also my term as your M.E.M.A., before you know the Most Excellent Session will be upon us. As the year winds down the amount of our upcoming activities begins to ramp up. There are so many family activities coming up such as our Junior Halloween parade and lunch with Santa. There are several holiday parties and trips planned for the rest of the year. Please look at our Facebook page and website to see what events are coming up over the next few months. Remember an Artisan annuity and insurance policy make a nice gift for anyone, especially a child. I don't know any other insurance company that gives so much back to it's members, the more you participate the more you get back out of your membership.


  I hope to see you at one of our many upcoming meetings or events this year.

 


Fraternally,

Carla Werner - M.E.M.A.

M.E. SUPERINTENDENT LETTER

Hello Juniors!  

 

Summer is over and now we're back to school and having fun at all the activities the Artisans have to offer.


The family bingo night was a huge success and all of those who attended had a great time playing bingo. We had great gifts and various gift cards for the winners. Our next big event will be the St. Johns' annual Halloween parade/ party on October 28th. Get those scary costumes ready for the parade. There will be fun and games with great prizes and, of course, candy and goodies for all the children that attend this fun filled event.


We'll be having lunch with Santa on December 16th and each child will get a gift from Santa Cluas, make sure you sign up at the office. We may even have a surprise visit from the Grinch.


Please look for all of our upcoming events in the Artisan Newsletter or on our Facebook page at 'Artisans Order of Mutual Protection'. Hope to see everyone at our many upcoming activities and events.

 Fraternally yours,

 Helen Szafran - M.E.S.
