Brethren,

This will be my last communication as your Worshipful Master. When I started my Masonic journey, thirty-some years ago, I was content to sit on the the sidelines and work in the quarry without any recognition. Several of our Past Masters offered me the chance to get in the line, but I was still content to site on the sides. But finally WB Mike Terry said he needed someone to fill a chair and I agreed, thinking it was only for a year but I enjoyed myself so much that I wanted to continue my journey to the East.

Thank you WB Mike.

Brethren,

We have had a great year at Acacia Lodge! Here's a recap:

First, both BBQ's were very successful, even though the Fall BBQ was short on help. Please try to give us a hand next year - even if only for a few hours. We need YOU!

Next, we've had a lot of degree work again this year, with more to come. November 11, FC Bro. Michael Harp will be raised to the sublime degree of MM. Be sure to congratulate him when you see him.

Brethren,

Now that summer vacations are over and school is back in session, I hope we can see more of you at the lodge.  As usual, the summer month’s attendance has been a little low due to vacations and such.
