JUNE 2011

Greetings Brethren,

A hearty welcome to the month of June!  As I write this the rain is coming down and it is unseasonably cool for the month of May.  However summer is just around the corner. 

An attempt has been made to contact everyone by phone to correct an error in the May trestle board concerning the date of Wor. William Pierson's Golden Veteran Award.  If you were not contacted by phone would you please consider contacting one of the officers to make sure we have the correct number.  I found several "no longer in service" numbers on my portion of the list. 

At the June 7th dinner and stated meeting we will present the Golden Veteran Award to Bro. Charles Roady.  Please come out and join us for this event. 

There is not much scheduled for the next couple of months, but the Tuesday night practices will continue.  If you are looking for some company I am usually at the lodge around 6:15pm and practices don't start until a little after 7:00pm.  All are welcome to come by and visit.  Have a great month.

Fraternally,

Frank Luenser

Brethren,

Summer is almost here! In fact, it is only a few more weeks until we will celebrate the longest day of the year. If you take advantage of the extra daylight to catch up on your Honey-do list, you may be able to reap some benefits later on. That is so long as your Honey doesn't use the extra time to add to the list.

We will start the month off with two Golden Veteran Awards to be presented on the evening of our Stated Meeting. Larry Lindsey will receive his at his home prior to dinner and Charles Roady will receive his at the Lodge after dinner. Remember, the ladies are always invited to our dinners unless specifically notified otherwise. We really do e11ioy their company at these festive culinary events.

Some of you are STILL wondering if you will ever receive your dues card for 2011 or at least a notice to send me a sufficient amount of coin of the realm to induce me to honor you with my signature and the Lodge Seal on a small piece of blue paper. I AGAIN offer my humble apology to all concerned and assure you I AM working on the problem. As the saying goes - the hurrier I go, the behinder I get. Guess I better slow down a bit

Freddy has announced that more daylight should mean longer walks. Sometimes a person just can't win.

Fraternally,

Phil Johanknecht, P. M.
