President's Message
My Astoria Brothers
It is good to look forward to gathering again. We have had our summer break. I pray we rested and had time to enjoy family and friends. There is no way we could have missed the news happening all around us. Some of the News is concerning and requires us to act, and other News gives a sense of excitement and challenge.
The Challenge is to be present and involved, it is not as easy as it used to be, but we must do what we can. Supporting our community is the most pressing issue we have. We cannot depend on anyone to stand for us, we must stand even if we must lean on something to be upright.
This election is critical to our well-being. Some forces will work day and night to deny us the right to vote. I ask each member of The Astoria Beneficial Club to check their voting status and help anyone else check their status.
As a Club, we decide what is important to the group. Let us come together to be a force and a part of what happens now, and, in the future, it is up to us because nobody is coming to help or save us. We must step up and be counted. That is what we are about. The Astoria Beneficial Club.
