Brethren and Ladies,
April proved to be another
busy month. Our April Stated Meeting and Public Schools
Night went very well and was well attended. The West
Contra Costa Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Bruce Harter,
updated us on the progress of the school district;
and representatives from Dover
Elementary School, including two students, who made a
great presentation about the fourth graders trip to
Sacramento last year. Our Lodge followed up with a
generous donation that will again be used to fund a
Sacramento Amtrak field trip for the fourth grade class
of Dover Elementary School.
April 15th was a very special evening
as we presented Golden Veteran Awards to our newest
50‑year members of which we had three in attendance. The
dinner and presentation was well attended.
On April 29, we held a double 1st
Degree for Brothers Olaf Zumpe and Jerome Wachowiak Jr.
The officers did a great job and the degree was well
attended by our Brethren.
Moving into the month of May, we will be
presenting our 25-Year members with their award pins at
the May Stated Meeting on Tuesday May 6. Please come and
join us in congratulating these fine Brethren.
On Tuesday May 13, we will be proposing the ‘hanging’ of
our Jr. Past Master, Bill Elberfeld. Again, there will
be a great dinner (as always) and lots of fun as we
roast Brother Bill.
Our bi-monthly dinner and a movie will be held on
Saturday, May 17. You should try to go to one of these
events. I am sure that you will enjoy yourself.
May is also the month for the Memorial Day Camping
Trip at the Gold Strike Village in San Andreas. Please
RSVP with Jimmy or Denise Wright at (510) 233-6909.
I again extend my invitation for all to please
join us at the Stated Meeting Dinners and Meetings on
the first Tuesday of each month. I extend a warm welcome
to those Brethren who have not been able
to attend our Stated Meetings,
to come on out and join us. We always have great food
and entertainment. And, while the men are holding their
Stated Meeting, the ladies play Bingo. I look forward to
seeing each of you to share in the fun and fellowship of
our Lodge.
Fraternally,
Gary Dunham,
Master
