From The East

Brethren,

Another month has passed by and we enter into the autumn season. How beautiful fall is with it's amazing colors. The Great Architect of the Universe is quite an artist. This is a good time, as we approach the thanksgiving season, to reflect on the things we should be thankful for. This includes family, loved ones, friends and our Masonic Brothers. The hourglass stops for no one so be thankful and enjoy the manifold comforts and blessings that we have. I wish you all a great Thanksgiving Holiday.

We are now the proud lodge of two new master masons, Brothers Corey Laber and Bruce Williams. They were raised on October 5th by the officers and members. What a great Degree. Stop by the lodge sometime and welcome our new Master Masons.

Our annual pancake breakfast will be held on November 26th, from 8 AM to NOON. Cost will be $7.00. It's good food and a great time, so come on out and enjoy this annual event.

As always, I look forward to seeing all my brothers at our regular stated communication on November 9th. Hope to see you there and again, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Fraternally,
W∴M∴ Frank E. Hartsell, PM
