Worshipful Masters Note: In addition to the Trestleboard I am looking to improve communications with the brethren and believe email is the fastest mode, so I am asking the brethren to send me their email addresses. I assure you they will only be used for regular Lodge communications. Thank you.
Secretary’s Note: Dues for the year 2010 are now due, please pay promptly. Need some help, contact me, we can set up a payment plan for those who are in arrears. With the economy the way it is we know finances can be tight, let us help.
