March has not started off well. The recent storms have affected some of our brethren here in the Sixth District as well as in other areas of the country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and the lodges that will mobilize to help them. I am sure appeals will be coming in to our lodge and we will help as much as we can.
The Worshipful Master, Scott Johnson, has set March 24 at 6:00 PM as Awards and Widow's night for this year. We have a number of awards to present this year, including a 70 year award to Worshipful Brother John McCollum. A letter will be sent to all the award receipients and our widows. Dinner will be at 6:00 with the awards ceremony starting afterwards. Brethren from other lodges are invited as well as their families. Right Worshipful Brother Norm Mick, Senior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge, will be attending to represent the Grand Master on this important occasion.
Our next stated meeting will be on March 17 at 8:00 PM. Come on out and enjoy some fellowship with your brethren.
