Brethren,

Tonight was an interesting night! We were able to move to refreshment after opening the Lodge and we had a meal together. Stories were shared, and the timing was perfect for a couple brethren to join in after a long day of work. We then returned to the Lodge to complete our business.

All Fellow Crafts and Master Masons are invited to the Special Meeting on Saturday October 25th at 9 AM for the purpose of conferring two Fellow Craft degree practice sessions. This is a great opportunity for any of our members who have not been to Lodge in some time to experience the degree in a relaxed session. You are encouraged to assist in the degree practice in order to enjoy to its fullest.

Plain City Christmas

Twas the Night before Christmas, and down at the lodge not a gavel was stirring, and in the hodge-podge.

Of aprons and jewels and chairs East and West You could savour the silence, most gladly divest

All metal and mineral, it mattered not, Since Christmas was nigh and the coals were still hot.
