Welcome the “Dog Days of summer”.  I hope everyone is nice and warm; remember winter will soon be upon us.  With that, it is time to stat thinking about fall and what we want to do to make our Lodge grow and be the place to be.  I have a few goals that I would like to see us under take this fall:

 

1. Start getting members interested in learning new degree parts.  We need to rely more on our members for the work.

2. As a group do more Lodge visits.

3. Work more on Masonic education - it can be fun.

4. Look into where we will be as a Lodge in the next few years.  The Trustees have compiled the results of there survey now what do we do?

 

We still have events this summer to attend to:

August 3rd we will be doing an EA degree for Mr. Dave Dewey at the Oregon Lodge starting at 7:00.  We will open at 6:30, please come and assist by your presents.

 

On August 6th, we will have our Chicken BBQ. Please note the flyer you received from Kelly Moore.  Please RSVP to him and bring your friends; it should be a great time.

 

August is our time again to help at the VA on Sunday mornings.  We need to be there by 9:00 am and there is no limit to the number of members that help so show your support for our Veterans.

 

We are always looking for new members so talk it up.  If you need petitions, contact either Mitch Custer or myself.  In the fall, we are looking at up to three new EA’s at this time, which will mean FC and MM degree work to follow.  We will be looking for your help.

 

If you or anyone you know is in the hospital or just under the weather, please let one of the officers know.  If you need any type of assistance please give a call - we are brothers and want to help.

 

Stay cool and we look to seeing you in Oregon on the 3rd, McFarland on the 6th, VA each Sunday and then back in Lodge on Tuesday Sept. 5.
