April, 2015

We had a Master Mason and an Entered Apprentice each give back their proficiencies, both well done.  Please remember the family of RWB Delbert Martin, WB Herman Liming, RWB Mark Liggett, Josie Hickey and Jean Lewis in your prayers.  Our inspection report was read and commended the lodge for its activities, generosity and degree work.  Special mention was made that our education program is in very good hands.  In fact, the LEO presented a program on the anti-Masonic movement in the early 1800's that continues today.  He has 4 more programs related to this topic that will be given at the next 4 meetings.  A couple of items of note are that we need to continue to add money to our relief fund.  WB Daniel has posted a sheet that tracks money in and donations made.  Please consider a donation if you can.  We are also inviting our widows to attend the Grand Master's reception on May 1 at the Clermont County fairgrounds.  If you would like to attend contact the Worshipful Master for tickets.  The Sixth District is trying to start a DeMolay chapter and needs volunteers to be DADs.  Contact the secretary if you would like more information.  The Sixth District also has a Scottish Rite club, combining the Brown and Clermont county clubs.  On June 6 the club will have their next meeting at Felicity Lodge at 9:00 AM.  Coffee and donuts will be available at 8.  The annual Sixth District golf scramble will be May 16 at Cedar Trace golf course with a shotgun start at 1:30 PM.  The cost is $60 per person, which includes fees, cart, dinner, water and soft drinks.  I can email you a registration form if you need one.  Then, on May 17, the Sixth District family picnic will be held at Sycamore Park in Batavia starting at 1:00 PM.  That's it for now.  See you at lodge.
