Hello Brethren,
I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer. It's going to be nice seeing all of you again. The EA degree we held in July went really well. I would like to thank John Trafford and David Swan for filling in for the Stewards. We are going to be holding the second half of the degree during the September meeting. We will be giving the lectures to our newest brother and we will open in the EA degree.
The District Deputy Grand Master will be in attendance and passing out 50-year medals to a couple of our brothers. I would love to see you all there to give honors to our brothers who have been a part of this brotherhood for so long.
During the May meeting, there was a discussion about an optional meal plan for the year. Where you pay $90 and your name gets added to a list. This way you don’t pay for every meeting and you get the 10th meal free. I'm hoping to go over this a little more during the September meeting.
I asked back in July "what made you become a Mason"? I'm hoping that you guys have a few stories to share. It would be a great way for our newest brother to learn a little about the brothers of the lodge.
Well, that's all from me. I hope to see everyone back at the lodge in September.
Worshipful Master
James M McCarthy Jr.
