On Sunday, July 22, 2018 our Lodge prepared a picnic for the Veterans, staff and family members of the Wilkes-Barre V/A hospital.  Organized by Jerry Richardson our Leading Knight we were able to serve over 125.  We would like to thank everyone who donated or prepared food and those who assisted Jerry in making this annual event a great success.
