MASTER’S MESSAGE

Brethren,

Congratulations to our J.W. Tom Willmot who sat in the East for the first time and to all the officers for an outstanding M.M. Degree on March 27^th. We had over 51 brothers in attendance and I know each and every one of us enjoy seeing Brothers Brian Book and Nick Massy being raised in such a fine manner.

I would like to thank W. David Webster, W. David Brown and R.W. Howard Knapp, Janet Knapp and Kendall Yeates for all their hard work making the Scholarship Dinner a lot of fun and a great success. Donations are still coming in, and as there is no deadline … PLEASE send yours if you have not already done so.

Thanks to Br Pete Bengston, 20 Bothers we will be spending Thursday May 29^th ((5^th Thur) at the Ball Park watching the Rays play the Chicago White Sox. Br Pete you sure know how to make friends. Thanks again.

Due to a misunderstanding regarding the start time of the Masters and Wardens Trap shoot on Saturday April 12^th we only had one brother participate W. Darryl O’Neal. However, according to W. Darryl his performance was so outstanding he didn’t think anyone noticed that the rest of our team was missing.

Upon The Square,

Richard A. “Dick” Sansom

JUNIOR WARDEN’S MESSAGE

Brethren,

I would like to thank you all again for your strong support of our Lodge Breakfasts and Dinners. However, the year is still young and I’m looking for some new menu ideas and in-put from all of you as to the type of food you would like to see being served especially at our dinners as well as how much are we willing to pay for a more varied menu.

Please let me know as soon as possible so that I can consider all of your ideas and opinions.

By the Plumb,

Tom Willmot
