Greetings Brethren,

I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to this month. Why you ask? Well, I will tell you:

  1. Our Stated meeting is the top of my list
  2. Bro. Thomas P. Murgitroyde PM will be doing a Presentation on the American Flag
  3. Our Fellowship Event is on 6/14 and I really look forward to seeing all your smiling faces that day
  4. For the first time in a while, we will be having an Extra Meeting on Tuesday 6/24 where we will be initiating a new member!

Who could not be excited for that?

To add of the list of things going on, The Grand Lodge Ritual Competition will be taking place on 6/14 at Brandywine-Goddard Lodge No. 383 located at 360 East Lincoln Highway Coatesville, PA 19320. If we have any members who are interested in attending and representing our lodge please let me know as our District is looking for additional support.

Also, let’s not forget that the 8th Masonic Districts School of Instruction is on the 3rd Monday of Every month. Refreshments start at 6:30 PM and the School Starts at 7:30 PM. If you have never been to the 8th Masonic School, I encourage you to do so, it is very different from the District Schools we have been to in the past.

I hope to see you at one of the events going on this month and if not, I hope you and your families have a happy and safe Summer.

Fraternally,

Kenneth B. Shinn Jr. PM
Worshipful Master
