Greetings from the East

Brothers, our Table Lodge this year turned out very well.  The meal and socializing with brothers made for an excellent time.  We also had the most donations (Fines!) ever collected this year for the charity fund, damn rowdy bunch, cough Tim!  Those who came I am sure had a great time and I hope to see you again next year.  For those of you who weren't able to make it out if you would like to purchase a cannon(shot glass) that has Arcadia Lodge #249 Table Lodge 2007 written on it we have a few extras left over and they are available for $5.00.

Our summer months will be closing out soon and we will be getting back into more social events along with our monthly stated meeting dinners.  I hope everyone has had a good summer and I look forward to seeing some faces that have been traveling.

Degree work is rolling like usual we have a 3rd degree on the 16th of August and we will be having three 1st degrees on the 23rd of August.  Spots for new participants are always available if you have any interest in playing a role.

Don't forgot our meals are back in swing so come on out for a good meal on September 6th at 6:30 and the stated meeting at 7:30.

WM Josh Tostlebe
