FROM THE SECRETARY’S DESK

Brethren,

    As we begin our Masonic year, there are still many Brothers who have not yet paid their 2010 Lodge Dues. If you do not have a 2010 Dues Card, you most likely have not sent in your payment. Please check your records and if you have not sent them in, do it as soon as possible. If you can not pay the dues, please contact me or the WM.


Trestle Board

FROM THE EAST

Brethren,

 First I hope you all had a wonderful Summer and are looking forward to assume your new Stations and Places in September

        Next I know I bombarded you with loads of e-mail in order to keep the fires burning that I have felt since you honored me with your vote of support.

        I have already begun appointing committees such as "My Brothers Keepers" and of course we strongly favor Brother Marks "Baseball Charity" which he will speak of at the meeting

       As Master Masons you have only taken the first step in a long and worthy journey of learning and community service.

       Our Brotherhood is old and very strong, and the Light is before your eyes, just focus and you will see.

         It is amazing, and as Winston Churchill once said, "Never, never, never, never, never give up"

Thank you my brothers and see you September First

 WM Lenchus
