From The East
Past Masters, Officers,Members
and Brothers,
Last month was a great month for Masonry and Brotherhood we collected boxes and boxes of clothing
and essential items for the VA Hospital. PM Frank Hartsell, Bro Bruce Williams and Bro Michael
Hinton loaded their truck and took everything to the Hospital where they were received by staff
members from the VA and thanked for the generous donations from St. John's Lodge #2.
Bro Bruce Williams also had a great evening at Jackson Lodge #19 where he was Crowned King of
the Chili Cook Off, it was a great event enjoyed by many brothers and the significant others.
I am so thankful for all the members of St. John's Lodge #2 for everything they did to make
last month so memorable. This month should also be a great month for members of St. John's,
we have our Grand Masters Visit this month so come out and have a great time with your brothers.
