Happy new year brothers! This year is already shaping up to be a most exciting year with many new candidates and degree work. As you all know, I love degree work! I am humbled and honoured by your election to this auspicious position. I look forward in executing this office with vigour, excitement, and with an eye to our greatest mission at
hand: the furthering of brotherly love, relief and truth.


The knife and fork committee has started off with a bang. As a return to tradition, we are asking the last 5 raised (or affiliated) brothers to serve on this committee as a way of getting them involved with lodge operations. They will be under the careful watch of our own Senior Stewart Mary Young as they help prepare, set up and clean up, and help organize meals as well as hosting many other functions. As new brothers are raised, the person with the most seniority will
rotate out to other committee's as assigned by the master. This months committee members are:


Junior Warden and Chairmen: Sonny Stormes
Senior Steward, Vice Chair, and Supervisor: Mark Young
Junior Steward and Committee Scribe: Carlo Pane


Rotating Members:
1) John Bernatz Raised: 5/20/2009
2) Nestor Montiel Raised: 6/17/2009
3) Jacob Ball Raised Raised: 6/17/2009
4) Matthew Kuhlman Raised: 8/26/2009
5) Gary Hubbert Raised: 10/21/2009


Next time you see one of these brothers, be sure to thank them for their services.


A new break from tradition is giving the past masters a break fromtheir tireless service. In that spirit, please make all reservations to me rather than Jim Myron, as he has been the "wrangler" of members attendance long enough. Please have your reservations to me as soon as possible.

I hope to see everyone at our stated dinner and meeting on January 8th at 6:30 PM.
