From the West:
Brethren, I am looking for any and all help and
volunteers to take part as an officer, Senior Deacon, Junior Deacon, Stewards,
Marshall or Chaplain. Also, you can help the Lodge by being active on a
committee. Some of the committees are Bikes for Books, School Essay, Widows,
Lodge Picnic, Sickness and Distress and others. PLEASE volunteer. This is your
Lodge, so please be willing to do some work for your Lodge.
For our members who cannot drive at night, if there is
enough interest, we will hold a degree next year during daylight hours on a
Saturday. I want you to feel that your Lodge is willing to do activities that
can accommodate your schedule.
For those brothers who come to the Stated Meetings,
dinner is on the Lodge. Also, Come to a meeting and see what has been done to
decorate the Lodge room. WB Jim Drake has been working to improve the Lodge
room.
Remember, this is Your Lodge. Come out and support your
Lodge. If you need to contact me to volunteer for an officer or committee, or
let me know that you would enjoy a daylight meeting, please call me in the
evenings at 520-979-7003 or e-mail me at JDG323@msn.com.
