Crash‑A‑Rama featuring School Bus Figure 8 Racing

Saturday, May 27, 2017, 7:00 PM

This is the weekend after our One Day Class.  We may have a line on some reduced price tickets.  This is a $25 per person event, we are looking at nearly 40% cut.  I'll update you as this develops but keep this Saturday evening open.

A great day at lodge today.  First we have a new Entered Apprentice Mason, Brother Larry James, and a new Master Mason who has our labor force, Brother Daniel Grimes.  There were 7 members who have joined us in the last year who were officers in the degree team.  Four for the very first time.  Ryan Graham was Senior Warden, Matthew Swartz as Junior Warden, Tadd Moore as Senior Master of Ceremonies and Jesse Hanna as Guide in both degrees.  Also, Lloyd Welch as Senior Deacon, Steven Miller as Chaplin, and Richard Guthrie as Tyler.

It does my heart good to see new members stepping up.  Our lodge will be in good hands soon. If anyone would like to learn any part or just interested in learning about Masonry in general.  Please contact Rich Palm any time.

One of our degrees tomorrow canceled out just an hour ago.  We are down to a 3rd and a 1st degree.  Be there by 8:15.  Degree starts at 8:30 AM.  See you there.

Remember tomorrow evening (Wednesday) is Family Night.  Bring some food for a shared supper at 6 PM.  Games or what ever afterwards.  We will discuss other activities that we can explore.

If you ware the colors, act the part!

Freemasonry is not just a fraternity, it is a way of life.  Brothers, if you are going to be some where or doing something on you own time, that does not reflect Masonic values, please don't ware the Masonic colors.  This applies also to social media on the internet.  Few people out side of our lodge room knows much about Masonry.  If they see someone with a Masonic symbol on a hat a jacket a shirt or finger, doing or speaking things less than appropriate, they see all Masons as being the same.

Brothers, help us keep our fraternity the best there is. Thank you.
