2006 Events

M:.W:. Richard Lynn, past Grand Master of the state of Florida, visited our lodge on January 18, 2006. He discussed the idea of forming a chapter of De Molay, which created a good deal of interest. Basically the boys are the ones who make all the decisions and run the chapter, with guidance from an adult body. We need volunteers to help out with the chapter - the more people we have involved the better (it will lighten the load). No prior experience is required.

The bears on patrol is in need of teddy bears to donate to our local law enforcement and fire fighters, which are handed to children when these bodies are called to stressful situations. This is a good cause. Please see what you can do.

6:30 p.m. - Officers’ meeting

The Lodge will be participating in the Delray Affair again this year. See J.W. Rodrigo Himiob to sign up for a few hours of work and fellowship.

W.: Bro. Brant Bayer will be presenting a Presidential Program at the February 2nd Meeting; it will be very interesting please attend.

Every Brother knows a Brother who, for what ever reason, has not attended Lodge in a while.  Call him and bring your Brother to a meeting.

If you have any potential candidates get their petitions in; I am planning an EA degree for March 30^th. Remember, it takes time to process and investigate prospective members.

The budget was introduced January 19th all that were present witness that the Lodge is still operating at an extreme deficit. This deficit must stop! A by-law change was introduced to move forward in this direction. The finance committee is looking at investments that will produce a higher rate of return than we are now getting. Finally the Lodge needs the support and participation of every member at Lodge functions and Affairs to keep from raising the dues every year.

Fraternally,

David M. Haycock

Worshipful Master
