Welcome back to another Masonic year. I hope everyone had a good summer. It was good to see so many brothers show up at Brother Jay Ortiz’s Summer cookout. RW John Leigh his wife, his son Bro. Geoffrey Leigh and his wife and son. Also in attendance was VW AGL Patrick Healy and family, Brothers Kornblueh, Semmens, Quinn.

December – Our Annual Christmas Festive Board. (Masonic guess and Prospective candidates invited.)
January – Second Degree.
February – Regular Meeting, Possible Ladies Night. (Pending lodge discussion.)
March – DD Visit. Festive Board.
April – Third Degree
May – Elections

In this meeting I would like to discuss this years scheduling for when we will do our lodge of instructions.
I would also like to discuss ideas on how to bring back absent members.
Please don’t hesitate to come to me with any ideas on how to improve our lodge or any ideas for meeting and or activities. I look forwarding to working with everyone this year.
Thank you,
WM Aaron Ortiz
