My Brothers,

Seven months have gone by and our year has been successful with much more than degrees. We have had EAs, FCs, and made one raised two Master Masons so far. We’ll have a Past Masters day coming up this fall with a Master Mason Degree for the first half of the degree, with our second half team coming in to do the drama.

We have had many fun gatherings with music, food, and demonstrations. We have had something for everyone which included our families. Coming up in September, we will have Bristol’s Mum festival with a CHIP event as well as our food booth serving our delicious sausage & peppers sandwiches. Please come and help out., even if only for an hour or two.

In October, we’ll have our 4th Annual Pasta Dinner on Thursday the 14th. We will end the month with a statewide open house. November will bring the Rainbow Fun Degree and an OES info program with Past Grand Patron Carl Larson. December brings our Annual Meeting and elections. WB Charley Rowland has agreed to fill the Lodge void, filling the senior deacon's chair and moving into the south if elected. I would like to see Santa Claus return to Lodge to visit our children and end the year with an officers change-up night. I’ll be looking forward to everyone’s participation.

There are still many Brothers in our Lodge that I have not met and hope to meet you at one of our upcoming programs.

Fraternally, 

WB Johnny Miller
