December 2004 Treslesboard

Brethren,

On Wednesday, November 17, 2004 it was voted to continue the re-

Modeling project of the lodge. This project will be done and most importantly as we have money. A phase will start when we have the money to complete that phase. To complete this project after the first of the year we will be calling on you physically and financially to help.
If you have any suggestions or ideas on remodeling project please contact Brother Dave Kraus or myself. On December 15^th at our regular meeting we will present the phases and proposed plans on getting this project started.

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Remember that Jesus is the reason for this season. May God bless you and your family during this season and may the New Year be the happiest.

Ron, Worshipful Master

On October 30, 2004 Brother Past Master John G. Huckins passed from labor to rest. Bro. John was Initiated April 3, 1974, Passed May 15, 1974 and Raised June 19 1974. He was Worshipful Master 1981.

Brethren, I still have three 2004 dues cards on my desk as well as seventy-five 2005 dues cards. The dues are $42.00 and are due by the last day of December 2004.

I recall the kind old grocer

When the sugar he would pour

How he’d tip the scale to balance,

Then he’d add – just a little bit more.

My, how his business prospered.

Folks were always at his store,

For he’d give an honest measure

Then he’d added just a little more.

So it is with life, my brother

We would build a better score,

If, when we’ve done what is expected,

We’d add – just a little more.

From the Secretary’s Desk:

We, from Stephenson Lodge has seen another great year pass. It has been a fruitful year. But, the year ahead will be a great challenge for us with the remodeling of the building. A task that looks like a mountain to climb.

Let’s climb it. Let’s all pitch in and help the Building Committee do their job.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and the best New Year yet. `
