Brothers,
The summer is now here and the first half of the year has flown by.

We initiated five new brothers, four of whom have passed to the degree of Fellow Craft.
The new brothers have brought new life into the lodge and are asking many questions about our lodge social life and the craft in general.

We will be having a lodge picnic this year on August 10. We have booked an executive sky box at the Bluefish stadium to watch them play baseball. Hamburgers, hot dogs salad and drinks will be supplied for the game.

We have room for 20 people, so please contact me if you are interested in attending.

Later in August I am arranging a shoot at the local gun club in Monroe. Shotguns, pistols and rifles are acceptable, bring your own licensed guns and ammo. The club will not allow unlicensed guns.

Tuesday September 28 is our pin presentation meeting. Bro. Robert W. Bowers will be receiving his 50 year pin. We hope to see him at the lodge so that R.W. Bro, James T. McWain, Deputy Grand Master can present him his pin in person. 

Other brothers of the lodge will also receive pins. You will be invited to attend the meeting if you can, otherwise, Bro. Bob Simon our Lodge Secretary will send the pin to you by mail.

2 brothers receiving 25 year pins
5 brothers receiving 30 year pins
3 brothers receiving 35 year pins
3 brothers receiving 40 year pins
3 brothers receiving 45 year pins
3 brothers receiving 55 year pins 
4 brothers receiving 60 year pins 
1 brother receiving 65 year pins  

In October we plan to have a joint Table Lodge on Tuesday October 12 with Fidelity St. Johns Lodge 3. The Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and other dignitaries will be attending.

On Tuesday October 26, we will be putting on a Master Mason Degree for our four eligible Fellow Craft. You are all invited to the degree and the dinner afterwards. It would be very nice to see a full lodge.

May you have a wonderful summer.

Fraternally
Anthony Foote
Worshipful Master
