Here's the Religious Appreciation Dinner appeal: I am hoping you are emphasizing participation in the Religious Appreciation Dinner [by email, personal contact after Mass, etc.].  Here are the details for responding: As you know, our 4th Degree Assembly 3196 has scheduled a Religious Appreciation Dinner for the Religious in Deanery 5. The dinner is scheduled for March 1st at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall, Willow Springs - 6:30 PM.  This dinner is open to all 3rd Degree members and wives . The cost for non-religious will be $17/plate to cover our Religious. Please announce this dinner to your members by email  and at  your next meeting!  We are on the Bishop's calendar, so we fully expect Bishop Rice will attend. Hard copy invitations have been mailed to the Religious in our Deanery - I have attached the .pdf version below. Please respond as indicated in the invitation to: Joe Leidy - 512-422-5441 or  joeleidy@sbcglobal.net   by February 15th  ...
