Modern Woodmen of America members in McCook met on April 2 for an educational event on Tennis. The program featured instruction from McCook High School tennis coach, Matt Wiemers, on the rules of the game and then a chance to play with instruction.

This event is one of many educational experiences arranged for Modern Woodmen members nationwide. The events are designed to provide members with information about health, safety, finances and other important topics.

“Our members enjoy getting together for our social outings, volunteer activities and educational events,” local Modern Woodmen volunteer leader Tamela Laurie said.

Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, the fraternal financial services organization’s Summit chapters, chapters and youth service clubs provide opportunities for members to take part in social and educational activities and volunteer projects to meet local needs.

Annually, Modern Woodmen and its members provide nearly $20 million and over 400,000 volunteer hours for community projects nationwide.
