A MESSAGE FROM…
OUR WORSHIPFUL MASTER…
Happy
Valentines Day!!!!!
It has been
a pleasure to involve myself into the workings of this lodge and I am very
excited to see the number of brothers who attended our first stated
meeting in 2006. Let’s keep this trend up. Bring your wife and a
dish of your favorite food to the fellowship prior to the stated meeting.
We try to eat around 6:30 PM.
I would
like to remind everyone of the up coming Valentines Dinner. The date is
February 11, 2006. Entertainment will begin at 6:00 PM with a group,
Cedar Creek lead by Brother Wendell Lee. I hope everyone will enjoy their
selection of music for our listening pleasure. Dinner will be served at
7:00 PM. Following dinner we will play bingo for Valentine candy.
If you plan to attend please call our Lodge Secretary Elbert Martz, PM. I
look forward to seeing and visiting with each of you.
I would
like to see more Brothers at the Craftsman Club on Tuesday Night. We meet
at 7:00 PM at the Lodge office. I can tell you from personal experience
that you can learn a lot from your fellow Masons. We all can learn and
practice what the Masonic Tradition is all about.
I look
forward to seeing everyone at the stated meetings and Craftsman Club
Fraternally,
Your
Worshipful Master,
Jim
Pickens, WM
