Greetings From the East   July 6, 2017

Over the past few weeks, I have been reminded about what a Mason is. A Mason to my account is a man more willing to give than receive. A man willing to see to the good will and well-being of his family, fellow brother, his friends, his community, church, and anyone he can help who may need a helping hand. A man who gives a little extra to see projects through to the end.

From the Secretary   July 6, 2017

Dues are due! I had to read the names of 19 Brothers at our June meeting who have not paid 2017 dues. Please remit them or call me if you are having issues.

Also, Grand Lodge is having a Secretary's Workshop in August and will be talking about the ability to pay dues online through Grand View, among other things. I'll learn more at the meeting, but if you don't have access to the Grand Lodge System call me for instructions so we can be ready when the system is implemented.
