Brethren:
At our April 21st meeting we will be hearing from Robert Messer of Wisconsin
DeMolay on forming a DeMolay chapter at Doric. You may recall we passed a
resolution to sponsor a chapter a while back, so we’re going to find out what
it’ll take. If you’re interested in helping out, please try to make the meeting
or let me know.
On Saturday, April 25th at 8:30 AM; we will be presenting the Second Section of
the Master Mason degree at the School of Instruction in Columbus. If you’d like
to carpool, meet us at Doric at 7:30 AM.
The Trustees have requested some assistance with Spring maintenance on our
property. On Saturday, May 2nd at 9:00 AM, we’ll get together at Doric to
rototill the dirt mounds, do a little raking, pick up litter, and sweep up a
little. Shouldn’t be a lot of work if we can get a few brothers there to help
out. We also need to plant some grass seed, some annuals, and some small shrubs.
If you own a rototiller we can use or can donate any of the above mentioned
materials, please let me know.
I suspect we’ll read Grand Lodge resolutions and do some degree work in May. I’m
also planning on a group trip to see the movie “Angels and Demons”, which is the
sequel to “The Da Vinci Code”, on Saturday, May 16th. I hope to have specifics
in the May Trestle-Board, but it will likely be a showing after 1:00 PM. We’ll
talk about our impressions of the film and how it treats the subject of
Freemasonry at our Stated Communication the following Tuesday (May 19th).
Also in May, Hiram Lodge No. 50 is hosting a table lodge on Monday, May 11th at
6:30 PM. Please let me know if you’re planning on going or you can RSVP directly
to Hiram 50’s Secretary, Ted Erickson.
In July we’ll have our Chicken/Brat BBQ on Saturday, July 25th at Noon. There is
also a combined Scottish Rite/blue lodge/Shrine golf outing on Thursday, July
16th. Golf ($25) will start at Noon; dinner ($13) will be at 6 PM. More details
in May or June’s Trestle-Board on both events.
The coffee klatch events are moving to Thursday mornings and will resume in
early June. First one will probably be June 4th -- but stay tuned.
As always, please see the website at www.doriclodge.com for the latest news.
