Stated Communication
From The East
Brethren,,
Looks like winter is finally over and I am happy to say spring is upon us.
March was another great lodge meeting...with 18 members in attendance. There were several "hot" topics discussed and a great evening was had by all. If you haven't been to lodge you're missing out.
It gives me great pride to say that we captured the District 2 Traveling Gavel for the third time this year. We had 9 brothers come out and support our lodge...Thanks Brothers!!
PM Greg Schulze conferred the Entered Apprentice Degree on March 2nd in excellent form.
Please welcome Brothers Corey Laber & Bruce Williams as the newest members of St. John's Lodge No. 2
As always, my brothers, I look forward to seeing you in Lodge. Come out and share friendship, morality and brotherly love
Fraternally,
W∴M∴ Stephane (Steve) G. Sabourin
