Roswell Lodge No. 18 Grand Lodge Of New Mexico, A.F. & A.M. |
| Brethren, Another ENMSF is in the books. While this year was a little light on ticket sales as compared to past years, it was well worth our time and effort. I want to thank everyone who stepped up and helped out this year. The breakdown is as follows: Mon- 640 Tue- 181 Wed- 1,229 Thu- 846 Fri- 959 Sat- 1,086 Total -4,941 We will have our drawing on Wednesday, October 15 at the lodge.

Roswell Lodge No. 18 Grand Lodge Of New Mexico, A.F. & A.M. |
| Brethren, The ENMSF is in the home stretch. Today is the final day. This morning, we have Marcos and Nick manning the booth. I don't expect it to be very busy until later this afternoon, but they still could use some help. If you are military, you will not need a pass to get in. Just your military ID. Later this afternoon, we have: Aaron and Nick from 4-10 Jacob also said he could go out tonight and lend a hand. We were fairly busy last night, but not near as busy as I expected us to be. I want to send out a special thank you to Levi, Marcos, and Aaron for coming out and helping. Monica and I would not have sold near as many tickets as we did without their help. We sold 959 tickets last night to bring us to a total of 3,855 tickets so far. Tomorrow, the grounds are open from 9-12 to go out and clear out the booth. It shouldn't take too long, but we could use some help. If you are available, let me know. Fraternally, Richard Glenn Secretary Roswell Lodge #18 ENM State Fair Sign Up 10-03-2022.xlsx |

**ENMSF Thursday Update** on 10/02/2025
Roswell Lodge No. 18 Grand Lodge Of New Mexico, A.F. & A.M. |
| Brethren, We are off to a great start at our fair booth this year! As expected, Tuesday was a little slow due to it being wrist band night. Everyone who came to the fair on Tuesday, came to ride the rides, but Monday and Wednesday were much better. Monday we sold 640 tickets Tuesday we sold 181 tickets Wednesday the Shriners sold 1229 tickets. I'm sure Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be good nights as well. That being said, I spoke with Roy David, and he said there needs to be more than two people at the booth to handle the busy rush. Tonight, Mark Daniels, Roy Hayes, and Levi Moody will be manning the booth. Tomorrow, Friday, should be a busy night. It will only be my wife Monica and myself manning the booth. If anyone is able to help out on Friday night during the busy hours, from about 6-9, It would be greatly appreciated. Also, there is only two people manning the booth during the Saturday shifts, so I'm sure they can use some help as well. If you can help out on Friday night or Saturday, let me know, and I will get passes to you. We are well on our way to making this year's fair booth another great success.
