July update

The July meeting was a fairly busy one.  After the regular business was taken care of we received two more petitions that have been referred to investigation committees.  The August 4 pancake breakfast at Stonelick is still on.  This one will be at the beach area near the Antique Machinery Show.  We'll meet at 7 AM and start serving at 8 AM. 
We have been investigating alternatives to our oil fired boiler and the trustees recommended going with a heat pump.  It will connect in with our existing air conditioning duct work and should decrease our utility bills significantly.  After some discussion the members approved the plan.  The trustees will coordinate the work.
The lodge is going to have another outdoor raising this year.  It will be in September or October.  The date will be announced at the next stated meeting.
On August 11 at 6:00 PM we will have a special meeting at the lodge to hear any Fellowcraft proficiencies that are ready.  It won't be a long meeting so there'll be a lot of time for visiting.  Come on out.

Some added info

We did not have the pancake breakfast on the 23rd.  Unfortunately, the shelter at the campground was reserved for another purpose.  We're still on for Aug. 4 at the Antique Machinery Show at Stonelick, though.  Come on out and have breakfast with us and then enjoy the show.  They always have an interesting display of tractors, engines and demos.  Also, at our next stated meeting there is a good possibility we will have at least one Fellowcraft degree.  The lodge is getting busy so come on out and join us.
