Joseph L. Shell Daylight Lodge No. 837

Brethren,

      Lady Jesse Penner attended our Valentine luncheon after the stated meeting, a delicious buffet prepared by Ranch Catering.  She said she enjoyed the food and people.  We enjoyed her company as we remember her wonderful husband, Roger.  Brother Victor Li kindly chauffeured her to and from her home.  We were delighted by her presence.

      It was terrific getting together with the brethren again.  Please, keep in mind our standing invitation to attend stated meetings or practices.  The weather is often abiding, the surroundings are illuminating, and your company most considerate and enjoyable.

      To Brothers James Gordon, Charles Welling and Donald Woods, PM, thank you.  Please feel free to call us and come again.

      Our Masonic District Inspector, John Heisner, PM talked about the purpose of the Coming Home Program during his official visit to the Lodge at our February stated meeting, and thanked the brethren.  Furthermore, the Master is very pleased with your support at the Coming Home event because the next program called Operation Greatest Gift will provide brethren who were WWII veterans with an opportunity to visit the new monument in Washington, DC.  What a magnificent gift their sacrifices during the WWII have given us.

      After the March stated meeting, at lunch, Brother Harris will give a presentation on the Aid and Attendance program that is available to all veteran members and their spouses.  This Aid and Attendance is published in this web site.  Brother Ed Harris is the coordinator of this program and please contact him if you need any assistance.

      WB Allen Beddoe's historic comparative lecture of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln was enlightening and enjoyable.  Humor:  I have a twenty minute time slot for this talk, but I'm only going to speak for 5 minutes, maybe 10 or 15 or more.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

John Kasten

Junior Warden
