As of now, we have 9 men waiting for degrees in Petrolia Lodge and more petitions coming in.  Some have progressed as far as the second degree, most have not started at all. With our Master in the hospital, it has been a challenge to keep things going.  Some of these will be waiting for the One Day Class on May 20th.  Others want to follow the traditional path.  Some with be following a combination of both.  We need help from all Masons regardless of what lodge you are from.  We hope to have at least two complete teams of officers to keep from "burning out."  Our next practice is on February 28th at 7 PM.  We hope to have Wardens, appointed officers and conferring officers contact us to be sure we can cover all the chairs.  As in our last One Day Class, we hope to fill all chairs with officers from other lodges.  This will allow our officer and members to be mentors for the new candidates.  All other lodges are invited to bring any candidates you may have to the One Day Class.  Just remember they must be investigated, and voted on before the Class.  Lunch will be served at the One Day Class.  I assume we will confrere the First and Second, then break for lunch before the Third.  We did that last year and it worked well.  Questions, please contact Rich Palm at 814-673-0116.
