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,
