SUMMER 2009

As the saying goes, "time and tide wait for no man". We have finished half the year and are moving into our Summer Recess. In June we had a new Fellow Craft mason as well as a new entered apprentice Mason. Also our Lafayette Hills Prayer service on Sunday May 17th, had its biggest turn out in a few years, however there is always room for improvement. Several of our elderly and distinguished brothers have been ill and as usual we ask you to remember them in your daily devotion to the Great Architect of the Universe. June of 2009 saw the passing of Fred Ryan's wife. She was a lovely lady and helped us out each year to make our Lafayette Hills service an event to be remembered. We will all miss her. Our May out of state night brought brothers from eleven other Lodges. Again this years total of 102 brothers was one of our largest turn outs. Again thanks to all who helped this get off the ground. Finally a word of thanks to our degree teams especially, Stephen T. Kish PM Treasurer and Howard White PM, Lets not forget Jim McGurn WM and Ron Korack PM, as well as Brother Walter Leader and Gerry Farrell PM. September we will be raising a new Brother, we will also have our Past Master's Night, October stated we will be having our annual Lodge memorial service. November stated we take time to honor all of our veteran breathern, and December Stated we have our election of officers, candy to all who come as well as a special dinner. Also Lets not forget our Stewards, Bob Epps PM and Russell Maynard PM. time to Go, if you feel I left your name out then you have one recourse, come to our September meeting and give me a piece of your mind. The Holiday party may not come off this year due to the poor economy, unless Barack fixes it guickly. Our Past Masters Association Meeting will also be in September, Stephen T. Kish PM Chairman, Thomas J. O'brien III Asst. Chairman and The Secretary as the Secretary.
