August, 2017

At our August meeting we received a visit from our District Education Officer, Ralph Metzger.  He was there to present Al Cloke, our Lodge Education Officer, with an award for completing the Grand Lodge's educational course on the Ancient charges.  Al has been an exceptional LEO and deserves the recognition.  Unfortunately, WB Cloke is having some health issues and will be unable to come to meetings for a while.  Keep him and his family in your prayers.  In other business, the fried bologna booth was cancelled because of lack of participation.  We will try again next year.  We did have our pancake breakfast at Stonelick Lake but a report was not available at this meeting.  Our outdoor meeting will be on September 16 at Charlotte Back's place at 10:00 AM.  If the weather is bad, we will hold the degree at the lodge.  The positions for the MM degree are in the process of being filled.  The chair lift is working well and there will be more information in the upcoming dues notices that will be sent out soon.  We have been able to remit a lot of dues the past few years and will continue to do so for brethren in need, but we cannot afford to continue carrying brethren who do not respond.  I hope to see a lot of you brethren on the 16th.
