June 2023 Meeting Notice Change

 Golden Corral is now saying they need 50 people to guarantee a dining room. They have never said that in the past and we've seen way less than 50 in the adjoining room during our meetings. I fear they've gone "woke."

I have arranged for us to meet again at Hollier's Cajun Kitchen, 1709 Ruth St., Sulphur, La. on this upcoming Tuesday, June 13, beginning at 5:00pm until 8:00pm. 

Fr. Ben Lyons

Cmdr., Camp 1390
