News from the June meeting

Greetings, Brethren.  The June meeting saw the lodge conferring the Entered Apprentice degree on one candidate.  We also affiliated a brother from Lynchburg Lodge and elected his son to receive the degrees.  That means our membership will grow by at least four new members this year.  The Worshipful Master has set June 30 at 6:00 PM to confer the Entered Apprentice degree on this candidate and the candidate who could not be at the last meeting.  Come on out and watch the officers perform the ritual on these two candidates. 
Also of note is that the lodge will be having a pancake breakfast at the Stonelick Lake campground on June 23 at 8:00 AM.  We'll set up at 7 AM.  We do this a couple of times a year to raise a little money for the lodge and the Friends of Stonelick.  We will also have a pancake breakfast on August 4 at the beach area of Stonelick Lake in conjunction with the Clermont County Antique Machinery Show.
Here's a plug for the Order of the Eastern Star.  On August 4, 2012, the District 22 OES will have an event at the Clermont County Fairgrounds to raise money for Hospice of Hope.  There will be several activities with the Van Dells providing the climax at 7 PM.   Admission to their show will be $25 for preferred seating and $20 general admission.  Please support this worthwhile endeavor.  Thus far this annual event has raised more than $57,000.
Our next stated meeting will be on July 21 at the regular time.  If any of the candidates are ready we may do the Fellowcraft degree on them.  We've been having good attendance at our meetings.  We would like to see you there.
