Every year, the students at Boonville High School [Boonville, MO] have a competition between the classes to see which class can collect the most tabs. Each year they have some fun in their collection but also take the cause of "Tabs for Shrine Children's Hospital" seriously.
This year the Junior Class at Boonville High won the tab war and all members of the Junior Class got free ice cream with their lunch. This is the picture of student council students with 65 pounds of can tabs for Shriners Hospital.
Since the Beginning of the year 2009, the following Nobles have been reported as
having Crossed the Sands for their final time, to reach Everlasting Peace in Paradise:

Are we Americans? Are we proud of our "Stars and Stripes"? Sometimes our flag gets in a state of disrepair. It has been suggested that perhaps a family who has been presented a flag in memory of a Fallen Hero would want to have their Fallen Hero honored by flying that flag at the Davenport Masonic Center. A plaque would be on display in the lobby naming the Fallen Hero.Would you like to honor your loved one? I'm sure the Legion of Honor would be proud to hold a special ceremony honoring your loved one. Please contact our Recorder, Dave Klein.
If you have any announcements, events, meetings, or other dates to share, we will gladly add them to this
