President's Message My Astoria brothers, this will be my last communication as President of this outstanding group of men that makes the Astoria Beneficial Club relevant and a lasting influence in our community. My desire as President has been to carry the legacy and ideals of the Astoria Beneficial Club. The combination of the wisdom of seasoned Astorians with the zeal of our younger members will always be my goal. My Astoria Brothers, we have two club-wide events left this year. Our Anniversary and Awards Banquet, where we, as a Club, recognize the outstanding individuals and businesses in our community. This is not an ordinary event for those receiving recognition, and it is up to us to make this occasion memorable. An invitation is extended to all Club members to support the upcoming Anniversary and Awards Banquet We will hold a memorial program to recognize our fallen brothers and their invaluable contributions to the Club. As we look ahead, we are excited about the bright future of the Astoria Beneficial Club. We must remember our fallen, because we didn’t just appear. We are the evidence of struggle and sacrifice for 124 years, and that fact is not to be taken lightly. This is not a time to sit on our laurels, but a time when the rubber meets the road. Are you ready and willing to be a working part of this community? I encourage you to attend and participate as we honor our deceased members and recognize our community. On a personal level, I must say you have made serving as your President one of the most endearing and awesome tasks. The selfless support and willingness to go above and beyond for the good of Astoria are truly inspiring. I know I am surrounded by extraordinary men who exemplify what The Astoria Beneficial Club is and will be in the future. Thank you, gentlemen. I will treasure this experience forever. Thank you
Fennon Henderson President Astoria Beneficial Club
