Brethren, 

Quote of the Month:

'The way a person takes action(or fails to) reveals his or her character'

On March 14, 2001 the Lodge is conducting a 'Brother-Bring-A-Friend' Night and I am extending a request for you to attend this meeting, and to bring your spouse/significant other.  We have had an excellent response from the Brothers with their 'Memory Joggers'.  We have sent 37 invitations out to prospective members.  Responses so far show that a solid majority of the invitees will be attending along with their partners. The future of the Fraternity lies in replenishing the membership  with new/younger brothers and as such we need to make that extra effort to attend this important event demonstrating what we are about and show how vibrant the lodge is.  The schedule is: The Lodge will open at 6:00PM, and I plan to close the lodge by 6:30PM, 6:30-7:00PM will be 'get acquainted time',  at 7:00PM we will be serving a buffet dinner(at no cost!). After the dinner we will adjourn to the Lodge room where the program will take place.  The plan calls for the program to be completed by 9:00PM, and dessert/coffee will be served downstairs. The total cost to the brothers attending will be roughly 3 hours of your time.  Also by this writing I am requesting brothers to 'volunteer' to bring a dessert. Please contact Bro. Herbert Simmons at 758-8788 March 8th and let him know if you will be attending and will bring a guest

You are cordially and fraternally invited  to attend the 1739th communication on March 14th, Lodge will open  at 6:00PM. This is 'Brother-Bring-A-Friend'  Night, see above.  Remember the Masonic Brotherhood Fund.

You are cordially and fraternally invited  to attend the 1740th communication on March 28th, Lodge will open  at 7:30PM.

The business of the evening will be the presentation of Service Awards to deserving members of the Lodge. Guests are invited to attend for refreshments after the meeting. Refreshment time will commence around 8:30PM. Remember the Masonic Brotherhood Fund.

March 10th we will be holding our annual Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner, and all the Brothers are invited to help work at this dinner. By now you have received your tickets to sell(for those of you that haven't , contact Bro. Russell Balletto, 266-5917).  Remember the Masonic Brotherhood Fund.

Attached to this communication is an important letter from the Building Committee which I urge everyone to read and in so doing reflect on the 'Quote of the Month' above.

Has anyone seen our Stainless Steel Cooking Pot? It is still AWOL
