Greetings from the East

Brothers, Table Lodge, Table Lodge, Table Lodge!

Our annual Table Lodge will be on July 20th at the Basil.  We don't have nearly enough people coming yet.  It's rather disappointing that it isn't sold out already.  Table lodge is a really unique experience that we put a lot of effort into organizing.  Many of the events we have planned this year have failed due to lack of member participation and it is really getting to me.  We got destroyed at the Tug-O-War because it was 7 vs 20.  Paintball fell through because we couldn't get 15 people.  Do not make Table lodge into another disaster please.

Through the rest of July and all through August we have degrees already lined up and more petitions on the way.  I challenge you to make it to one degree. It is a good time and your current brothers putting the degrees on and the newly raised brothers would love more faces on the sidelines and participating in the degree work.

WM Josh Tostlebe
