No Outdoor Degree in September

After visiting the outdoor site it was decided that the ground is too wet and too much work needs to happen for us to have the degree this year.  See you at our regular meeting at 7 PM.

August, 2018

We lost a member to death this month, Raymond Gregston.  He was the owner of Rothman's Hardware in Newtonsville.  Though he did not attend a lot of meetings, he was a strong supporter of our lodge and he will be sorely missed.  The lodge floor has finally been stabilized and is in the home stretch of being completed.  Some of the damage discovered was worse than first thought and required some professional consultation.  Some of the brethren got together and had a pancake breakfast at Stonelick Lake campground that raised some money for the lodge.  They hope to have another on later this year.  There is some degree work that still needs to happen this year so look for those.  We will probably do one in September sometime.  The Worshipful Master announced that there will be a Christmas party again this year.  More details will be announced later.  Our annual outdoor degree was discussed and a determination will be made abour whether to have it or not after the site has been visited.  Keep your brethren in your prayers and come to a meeting when you can.

July, 2018

There were a lot of happenings that diverted my attention so I am really late with this update.  Work was progressing on the lodge floor and should be wrapping up in the next couple of months.  There was not a lot of other business discussed.  I hope to see you at a meeting soon.

June, 2018

We had to meet at Goshen Lodge again due to the ongoing work on the floor at our lodge.  It is progressing and should be done this summer.  Thanks to the time and material donations we should not have to clean out our bank account.  Goshen Lodge had a family picnic before our meeting and there was plenty of food.  We appreciate the brethren of Goshen Lodge allowing us to use their lodge while we work on ours.  For those that are interested Goshen Lodge is going to do a Master Mason degree on June 30 at 6:00 PM.  They would appreciate all the help they can get.  Have a good 4th and see you on the 21st of July.

MEETING TIME CHANGE

Meeting time has changed from 8:00 PM to 7:00 PM starting with the June stated meeting.

May, 2018

The lodge meeting for May mostly concerned regular business.  There was a vote on the meeting time change and it passed.  Having been approved by Grand Lodge our stated meetings will now start at 7:00 PM instead of 8:00 PM.  The meeting night remains the same.  Repair of the lodge floor is continuing and the brethren are making progress.  We are hoping to be holding meetings in our own lodge hall soon.  I will keep you posted.  We are doing an Entered Apprentice degree at Goshen lodge on May 26 at 6:00 PM. 

Lodge Hall repairs

As most of the brethren know the floor of the dining hall is in rough shape.  The trustees, officers and brethren are in the process of seeing what can be done to repair the floor and make it safe for our meetings again.  Below are pictures of the work.  Hopefully repairs can be made quickly.  I will keep you posted.
