A new program for this year is the Junior Warden Meritorious Service Award given to those brothers who put in time to serve our lodge over and over again. For each completed task, members of the knife and fork committee will receive points. At the end of the year the person with the highest amount of points will earn the JW-MSA for that given year, their name on a perpetual trophy to be displayed in the lodge foyer, and this years prize is a new 32" Flat Panel LCD HDTV.
