Dear Brothers,
First of all we hope you had a very Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year! Our Christmas Parties were a GREAT Success! There were more
than 50 kids to see Santa Clause and Smokey the Bear on the 12th of December.
The look in the eyes of the children when they came through doors was PRICELESS!
On December 15, 2008 we had our 2nd annual Christmas Party
for the Masonic
Affiliated Bodies and Guests. We had Brothers and Sisters from
four other Lodges visit along with Santa for a couple of hours.
The students from the I AM School played five songs which was
followed by a fabulous meal with all the trimmings. Thank You to all who brought
in the deserts. They were delicious to the eyes as well as the taste buds! Many
THANKS to Fred and Sharon, P.J., Ski and Anne, John and Ann, Dick Hughes, Aunt
Mary and ALL who helped in many different ways to make the event so special. I
am looking forward to next year's party.
We elected an applicant to receive the degrees of
Masonry at the last stated meeting. We will have his 1st degree at
the end of January. There will be a short EA practice after the Stated Meeting
in January, and also set up future practices. We are starting the year off
right!
The open installation of Officers for the 2009 year will be on January 31st at 10
am. Please come and support your Lodge!
There will be NO First Sunday Breakfast in January. It will resume again on
February 1st.
There will
be a Serve Safe Food training on Saturday January 10th
at 9 am at the Lodge. This is for all who serve at the breakfast and is required
by the County. This is open to all the other Lodges who wish to attend. Please
RSVP to Fred Butcher or Steve Hillman.
