September 2003 Trestleboard

Brethren,

As we return from summer recess things are looking promising for the Lodge. We are getting new members. The Officers have been working hard during the summer on their degree work. I would like to thank everyone who attended the memorial service for Brother Lawrence Dubree. We had over thiry brothers to attend on a holiday weekend.
Many favorable comments were made on our turn out and service. Because of this we
picked up a new member and impressed a lot of people. Hope to see you all at one of our meetings soon. Please support your Lodge and may God bless you all.
Ronald Stearn, Worshipful Master
