June, 2017

At our June meeting we took care of some business and visited for a while.  Being the beginning of summer, we had several regulars absent.  Our Lodge Education Officer is having leg problems and cannot climb the stairs so he is home recuperating.  Past Grand Master Richard M. Wilson passed away recently.  He was Grand Master at our lodge's 125 year reconsecration.  The trustees are working on improving the kitchen and removing unused items.  They also replaced our old range with a newer one.  It is shaping up well.  They also have contacted an installer and we should have a chair lift ready for our July meeting.  The lodge will be asking for donations to help pay for it.  We also are planning a couple of fundraisers to help also.  We plan to sell fried bologna sandwiches at Goshen's celebration of National Night Out on August 1.  We are also going to try to have another pancake breakfast at the Stonelick Lake campground if we can get it set up.  July 9 at the lodge will be an open house and cookout from 3 PM until ?  Bring a covered dish and a dessert if you like.  Another event you might enjoy is the annual Sixth District family picnic at Sycamore Park in Batavia on June 24 starting at 1:00 PM.  All Masons and their families are welcome. That about covers it for this month.  I hope to see you at lodge.
