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
Worshipful Master
