Greetings from the East

Brothers, our annual Table Lodge will be on July 20th at the Basil.  Table Lodge is a really unique experience so if you haven't been to one you should definitely check it out.  I know the Brothers who have come before won't miss it.  Tickets are for sale right now for $30; you need to talk to Brother Jay Simser to purchase them.  We are hoping for around 50 people. It is a great time.  Last year we packed our area.  I am hoping to do the same this year.

In June, we will be having two first degrees on the 21st starting at 7:00 P.M.  We will also be having three second degrees on the 28th opening at 6:30 P.M.  I hope to have a good showing to these degrees.

Practices are still being held on Sundays 4:30 - 6:00 P.M. at the lodge.  If you have an interest in learning a part we are always looking for new blood to participate.

Don't forget our stated meeting July 5th at 7:30 P.M with the $5.00 dinner at 6:30 P.M.

WM Josh Tostlebe
