From Brian

I slept in this morning for the first time in a long time and it’s all the fault of my brothers at Valley City Lodge 117 IOOF. You guys are the best. You organized such an awesome evening of music and fraternity. I didn’t ever want to leave. It was great to see lots of friends that I haven’t seen in a long time. A big thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the musicians who made the evening entertainment the success that it was. I sure wish that I could have been up with my jammin’ buddies at the end, but it was up to Chris B and me to sit back and enjoy the groove. Last night was a true testament to Oddfellowship. The lodge pulled together to relieve my distress and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Yours in FL&T
Brian

    Hey Brian. You're just shocked that the lodge brothers could organize anything without you being involved! We're all very grateful that you could come and stay for the whole evening. It was a really special night.

    Now you just let your amazing better half and the rest of your wonderful family look after you and get rested up for next Sunday. I will stop by for a visit some time this week.

    Hey BB,

    I can't tell you how much we missed you up there at the end either Bro. We missed you keeping us in the melody with the square chords you are usually the one I can look to with a bewildered glance when Weirdo, Volkov, and Jay do their 'jazz harmony' ;)

    I just wish we had more time to talk, but it took me until about 11pm to figure out the PA (special thanks to Long and Mcquade for all the impedance mismatches in the equipment they rented us, not) and make it sound decent. I'm glad we had the time for a long chat on Thursday (I figured Friday night would be crazy)and look forward to stopping by again soon. TTYL

    Yeah! What a great night for everyone! It was cool to see the 'ole basement as full as it was, on such short notice.

    Hey Brian, It was so great to see you out and about for the night. As far as the oddfellows being responsible for you getting some sleep. I'd bet a million dollars they've done that to you before. And I know given half a chance they'd do it again, just for fun. We all had a blast, what a great night. Take care, bask in the love from your friends and family and know deep in your heart the we will always be there for you guys. Nancy Post
