FROM THE WEST:

The year is almost over. I know we have a lot of things coming up and the Worshipful Master has outlined the Dates in his message. I just want to express how proud I am of our Worshipful and thank him for an outstanding job as our leader. Keep in mind that we have only one more meeting in November (One in which the Officers will be performing a STEP-UP) and one in December. The elections for your Lodge will be held on the first meeting in December and I encourage everyone to attend. Our Worship has pulled the officers and members of this lodge together in such a way that is extremely admirable. He has built on a strong foundation now let's all keep up the hard work and make him proud as we move forward. To the officers and members, this year has had its up and downs, WE HAVE SURE DONE OUR FAIR SHARE OF FLOOR WORK, and above all we have had fun. The installation of officers has been set for January 9, 2010. It is hard to believe that the year is over. On a Closing note, Please mark your calendars for the Lodge Christmas party. This is always a great time. This year it will be held on Dec 12, 2009. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Fraternally, Ron Malone ( Bugsy)

FROM THE SOUTH:

Well done Brothers and Ladies. The fish fry and rib sale were both sell outs and very successful. Everyone that helped did a wonderful job. And next year will be better yet. There are a lot of activities coming up the next couple of months with the holidays approaching very quickly. So mark your calendars and don't let any important dates go by. I enjoyed my year as J. W. it was a very busy year. We had a very good turnout for new members this year, under the watchful eye of our W. M. Ted Mullins who has done a GREAT job this year. Keep up the good work on bringing new members in. So please keep coming out and supporting your lodge. Thanks again for taking time out of your busy lives and enjoying some fellowship with your brother masons.
