The Fourth Annual David Wood Memorial Chili Cook-off was bigger and better than ever. Thank you to all of the Brothers from 12 different area Lodges, family, and friends for making the event such a great success. Good food and great fellowship were enjoyed by all. Net proceeds from the Chili Cook-off were $419.79. We also raised $320 for our Kelly Elementary School Christmas Fund.
