Before journeying up the mountain, this coming Saturday for stated, please be sure to find out if we will be meeting. Forbestown had 6 or more inches of snow on Feb 26 and is expecting inclement weather on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of March which may possibly postpone Stated.
We are through the Holidays and into the New Year! Many of us welcomed the New Year fighting the flu. We hope everyone is doing better! The lovely Acacia trees are in bloom this month. We've had lovely spring weather and life is looking beautiful. I am excited to present a "From the East" message from our New and 1st time Worshipful Master Steve Ricketts!
From the East-
It is a wonderful new year so let me introduce you to your 2018 officers line: WM: Steve Ricketts SW: Randy Kelly PM Treas: Fred Morrison Sec: John Davis PM Chap: Harland Roy PM SD: Dustin Day JD: Jim Freeman Tiler: Toby Housley Congrats to all! I thought that it would be nice to start the year off by honoring some of our golden veterans, at our March 3rd stated meeting, Brother Robert Kelly will be receiving his 50 year pin and at our April 7th stated meeting Brother Harland Roy will be receiving his 50 year pin. If you are not doing anything on those dates it will be great to have all that can attend. As always, pot luck starts at 6:30 p.m. and 50 year ceremony at 7:30 p.m. with stated meeting to follow. We are also going to be having the Forbestown Deep Pit BBQ on Sat. June 9th 2018. I am looking for helpers for food prep., fire watch, set up, serving, and clean up. If you are interested in helping, call me (Steve Ricketts at 675- 9470) and let me know which part you would like to help with. It is shaping up to be a great year! Fraternally yours, Steve Ricketts Worshipful Master |
DeMolay news:
Liberty Chapter has been busy lately. In January, we went to the Forbestown Lodge's Installation and then we had a lock-in in Marysville. This event was attended by many members of our local Masonic Youth Groups. This month, we served at the Shriner's Crab Feed and we are going to P.R.I.D.E. on Saturday 24th. We are looking forward to two other upcoming events. We are going to Devo Day at Six Flags on March 18th, and we are having a Pancake Breakfast on April 14th. We are currently selling tickets for 8 dollars. If you are interested, come to one of our meetings at the Corinthian Hammonton Lodge in Marysville on the second and fourth Monday of each month. The meetings start at 7 p.m.
Sincerely,
David Ricketts

A little while back we had a presentation from MSOS on the services that are available through the Outreach Services to Seniors. Our visitor wrote an article about that visit which was published in the MSOS Gazette vol. 4, issue 4. I thought I should share that article with you. |
