Arrowhead Parlor #110 Off to a Busy Start

Arrowhead Parlor #110 of Native Sons of the Golden West recently elected and installed a new group of officers. Vince Laster is the new president, as Evelyn Alexander moves to the Junior Past President’s position. Her last act as president was to recognize Richard McInnis as “Native Son of the Year.” Other new and continuing officers include: First Vice President Eric Sell, Second Vice President Sherry Livingston, Third Vice President Richard McInnis, Marshal Mark Anderson, Inside Sentinel Dee Schnepf-Ewing, Outside Sentinel George Honn, Recording Secretary Garry Devlin, Financial Secretary James Smith, Treasurer Kevin Anderson, and Trustees Ed Slaughter, Carol Robb, and Barbara Kimball. The installation was conducted by DDGP Stephen Faessel and DDGP Byron Wakeham (both Santa Ana #74) and Past President Mike Anderson (Arrowhead #110). The Parlor will suspend its monthly luncheons until fall. The most recent one was held on June 26, with brother and San Bernardino City Councilmember Fred Shorett as the featured speaker. Earlier that same week, Arrowhead #110 dedicated the City of Fontana on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. The dedication team included PGP Jim Smith, Arrowhead Parlor former Presidents Mike Anderson and Garry Devlin, and Board of Supervisor members Josie Gonzalez and Janice Rutherford, who are both also members of Arrowhead #110. The Parlor’s initiation of new members will be on Saturday, July 20 at 3 p.m., followed by a dinner at 5:30 p.m., to mark the Parlor’s 126th anniversary. The cost of the dinner is $15.

On August 1, Arrowhead #110 members, brothers from other parlors, and friends are invited to an all-you-can-eat barbecue and baseball game at the Inland Empire 66er’s stadium in San Bernardino.
