April, 2016

Our April stated meeting saw another Fellowcraft give back his exam.  it was one of the best in a long time.  This means we will have two brethren to get their Master Mason degrees on April 30.  The lodge could use your help that evening.  There were a number of sick and distressed that need our prayers.  The lodge donated $200 to Cub Scout Pack 401 in Mt. Orab last month and WB Al Cloke remarked that the money will help them do things they might not have otherwise been able to.  Our inspection is a week away and we have a new candidate for the evening.  This year promises to be one of the busiest we've seen in a while.  The Sixth District golf outing is May 21 at Cedar Trace golf club outside Owensville again but this year they will start at 9 AM.  We did have a little excitement last week.  There was a water main leak in front of the lodge.  Fortunately, Western Water fixed it quickly.  The Worshipful Master has more plans for the rest of the year and will be communicated later.  I hope to see you in lodge.

March, 2016

One of the first orders of business was to examine a candidate in the EA degree, which was done.  We then exemplified the Fellowcraft degree on him.  Then it was on to our regular business.  it was unfortunate that we had to suspend some brethren for not paying their dues.  If things don't change we might have to suspend more next year.  If your dues card does not say 2016 on it then you owe dues.  Please pay them so you will continue as a member of this lodge.  The Grand Master's reception is coming up and six brethren are going.  Our lodge has also sponsored the Deputy Grand Master and his wife.  He has been a good friend to our lodge.  We also voted to donate $200 to a Cub Scout pack in Mt. Orab, since the grandson of one of our members is a member there.  So, that's it for this month.  I hope to see you at lodge.
