Each day we are becoming more serious about our building program. The building fund is at a point where we can do this and there has been interest shown in buy our present building. If anyone knows of a piece of ground in our area suitable to build on, please notify the Worshipful Master or the Secretary.
Practice each Monday night 7:00pm. It is important to attend. Come out and help fill the chairs.
Brethren, we are starting off with a healthy line of officers. The Worshipful Master needs your support by attending the meetings; supporting his activities and helping when called upon.
