GREETINGS FROM THE RECORDER'S DESK
November, here we go again, the temperature is dropping and the leaves are falling. I’d like to thank everyone for another successful Lady’s Jewelry Jackpot. A special thanks to all the Nobles who helped prepare and/or serve lunch. Great Job!
The Daughters of the Nile had a great turnout for their Annual Trick or Treat despite the very, very rainy and windy night.
Just a reminder, the Calendar Meeting has been changed from Nov. 2nd to Nov. 9th. Make sure your Unit or Club is represented to get your dates on the calendar.
In closing, I want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving and if you have not paid your 2025 dues you are running out of time. As of December 31st your status changes to “Suspension-NPD”. Keep your Active status and pay before then.
Your Recorder,

DIRECTORS STAFF
Greetings Nobles!
As President of the Director’s Staff, I would like to welcome each of you! Now that things are getting back to normal, and the Clubs and Units are becoming active once again, it is time to get involved.
Due to Officers terms expiring, we are in need of fresh faces and people willing to attend meetings and prepare for upcoming events.
The Director’s Staff Unit are scheduled to meet monthly and during my time being involved, the member participation has been low. During past years, we have had only three or four of our members attend the monthly meetings.
We currently meet the third Tuesday of each month. To encourage attendance, please contact us with any suggestions and ideas of what may be a better day, time or location in which we can meet to increase participation.
To hold these events we need everyone to step up and become active. If participation does not pick up, the Director Staff Unit may come to an end. As members, we must all work together to achieve our purpose.
JEWELRY KORNER
Well November is upon us. The cooler or just cold days are here. The shrine "snow birds" have left us for some southern locations. But the majority of us will hang around NW Pennsylvania.
The 1st Lady's Jewelry Event was a success for the 1st Lady's project as well as the Jewelry Committee. We sold a variety of items. But the big seller was the 2" car trailer inserts. Yes they cost a little bit $45. But some people like them. Possible Christmas gift. You can still make purchases at the club when you are in for a meeting, lunch or dinner. The office and bar have keys.
Something new has been added and is available. This for all you Hillbillies. I have purchased a Hillbilly metal car emblem that was asked for at our summer hillbilly ceremony. The cost is $6.00. Again they are available in the jewelry case.
I have handled the jewelry sales for the past 15 years. I have plans to retire from this job. My wife and I have some other events planned in life. We have some special trips lined up for 2026 and beyond.
I will have a complete report in the December report of all my donations over the last 15 years.
We would like to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving
Till we meet again
