Masters Message from the East

September 2008

Brethren September 2nd starts the fall session for our Lodge. I hope that the members will take to heart what you are about to read. This lodge is in desperate need of members who will take a part, and learn the work. We also need new members. Our membership is below 100 at this time. Financially speaking we are in very good shape. I hope to see some sideliners at the September 2nd stated meeting.

I want to thank the Senior Warden, Robert Myers for filling in as Master the last two months as I was out of town. Thanks Robert for a job well done.

Remember Brethren September 9th will be our Constitution Dinner with Deputy Grand Master the Right Worshipful Larry Adamson as our guest speaker. That’s 9/9/08 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lodge. So let us all plan to attend this function and support our future Grand Master of Masons in California. We will be having Pot-Roast with all the trimmings, the price for the dinner will be $8.00 each. Remember dinners are open to all.

The Lodge will be hosting a Tulare Chamber function on Friday September 5th which is to announce the Leadership Tulare candidates. This event will be from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. with Hors d’oeuvers served. This is open to all so bring someone with you and plan to attend.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Jack Hodge, Master
