A Message From the East

Brethren,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS from the EAST. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. I'd like to thank Barry and all the officers and everyone who came out to help in all the activities last year. Your help is greatly appreciated and helps keep the Lodge going. I also want to thank Melissa Clouser for providing food for several of our functions last year.

We had a very busy year last. We brought in 3 new Entered Apprentices and Raised 4 Master Masons. We just purchased a new out building to store the mowers and other equipment in. This purchase would not have been possible if not for all the donations to help buy it. I want to thank everyone who donated. It was greatly needed and your donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you all. We have some projects coming up for this year. We are going to be working on a drainage problem around the building, and I hope to improve drive way with some smaller stone. The large stones are very hard to walk on and I'm afraid that someone will twist an ankle or break a leg at one of our dinners. Also, as a Fundraiser this year, we are looking into making a Memorial Brick Walkway to the front doors. You will be able to purchase and personalize a brick to be placed in the walkway. We don't have all the information finalized yet, but when we do, we will pass it along to you. If you would like to help on this project, just let me know.

I also want to invite all Brothers to come out to our stated meetings and Degree Work. We have a Fellowcraft Degree scheduled on January10th for brother Danny Turner and an Entered Apprentice Degree for 2 men scheduled on January 31st. Come out and enjoy the evening of Brotherhood and a great meal before the work. If you need help or a ride getting out to the lodge, call me and I'll come get you. We really would like to see you and have the side lines filled with our Brothers.

Fraternally,
Kevin Osborn
