November, 2014

The election of officers was held at the November meeting and the new Worshipful Master is Chris Hunt.  Congratulations to Chris.  There was also a petition for the degrees and an affiliation petition turned in.  The lodge is continuing to grow.  Bro. Gene Bell is working diligently on putting together another Christmas party. It will be December 13 at 6:30 PM.  Rumor has it that Santa will again make an appearance.  The lodge will be conferring the Entered Apprentice degree on one candidate on December 4 at 7:00 PM.  Our new Master will have a closed installation of officers at our stated meeting in December.  A couple of brothers have installed railing on the new ramp at the front door of the lodge, which will make it easier to get into the lodge.  The lodge is supporting the "Sweat for a Vet - They Sweat for us" program, which will supply sweat pants for veterans in the Veteran's home in Georgetown.  I mentioned in last month's post that Grand Lodge voted to allow games of chance in the lodge.  The Grand Master has issued an edict to delay this until the middle of January so Grand Lodge can determine the ramifications on the lodges.  We'll see what happens.  And remember, if you have not paid your dues yet, do so soon.  December 31 is the deadline to have them paid and not be suspended.  Thanks.
