January Stated Meeting

Brethren-

In lieu of a full bulletin this month, and with the approval of the Worshipful Master, I ordered a Trestleboard reminder card to be mailed out earlier this month.

It concerns me that I have not yet seen this card, and I hope I am the only one who has not.

For those who are, for whatever reason, unaware, the January Stated meeting is tonight, Wednesday, January 20.  Dinner, as usual, is at 6:15, and Lodge opens at 7:15.

Fraternally,
Steve Douglas

Wednesday, November 11

Brethren-
 
It was probably ill-advised for me to try to shoe-horn a Past Masters Night into our fall agenda...especially on the heels of a Master Mason Degree, and all of the time and preparation required.
 
I was unable to assemble a degree team and plan an appropriate agenda for this Wednesday.  Therefore, I regret that I am cancelling Past Masters Night.  I will offer my assistance to our Master-elect, to ensure that I do everything I can to help make this important event a success in his year.
 
I will be at the Temple this Wednesday, trying to do some calling and planning for the Salvation Army kettle.  Please feel free to join me.
 
I ask your assistance in spreading the word about this change, and I apologize for this decision. 
 
Fraternally,
Steve Douglas

First Annual Masonic Cornhole Tournament SATURDAY

First Annual Masonic Cornhole Tournament SATURDAY   Brethren-   Please recall that we paid to sponsor a Cornhole team for this Saturday's tournament.   From what I've heard around the District, this looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, and we still have a couple of openings on our McMillan Lodge team.   Just let me know if you want to play, and plan to be at the Temple at 11am Saturday.   If any Officers want to come down, that will provide the opportunity for us also to make up the time we lost at our cancelled Wednesday rehearsal.   Please reply to this e-mail by Thursday evening.   Thanks!  Hope to see you Saturday.   Steve

Brethren-

Attached is this year's Inspection schedule.

I have been in touch with most of the officers to let them know that I expect them to attend at least 3 inspections each. If/when I have time, I will submit this list again, with Lodge addresses, so that our younger members will be able to find a Lodge close to home.

Please note that the first Inpection takes place on Monday, January 5, right at the Temple. I plan to attend.

As I mentioned at Stated last night, it would be great to pick up the Traveling Gavel one time this year. I look forward to seeing many familiar faces throughout the Inspection season.

Fraternally,
Steve

Anyone interested?

If we put together 2 teams, I'd like to see the east-siders up against the west-siders.
