Brothers & Sisters as you know by now our Master was out riding his motorcycle around midnight and someone turned in front of him. He hit the vehicle and the driver of the vehicle ran from the scene. Gary is presently in Tampa General Hospital in intensive care, no visitors are allowed except for immediate family and they are keeping us well informed of his progress. At present the cranial pressure monitor has been removed and he is breathing on his own, all IV’s have been removed and he is recognizing people and talking to them. He is still in ICU so lets keep him and his family in our prayers.

Yours In Fellowship,

William G. Stuart SW Acting Master

From The SOUTH

Brothers and friends,

Our Worshipful Master Gary Payne was in an accident, and is in critical condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, that he have a swift and complete recovery. We will continue to follow his wishes while he is recovering. Thanks to the ladies for their support of the 3^rd Sat breakfast. The Lodge could more support from the brothers.

3^rd Sat. Breakfast will be Sept. 21^st and Oct. 19^th We need your support

Fraternally,

Chuck Hamm JW

From The Secretary’s Desk

First we all need to keep our Worshipful master and his family in our prayers as he recovers from a terrible motorcycle accident. We have set up an information message at the Lodge using the lodge phone number for those wanting to know the status of Gary. It will be updated at least once or twice weekly till he is able to take calls and messages for himself.

Brethren as you all know since your initiation into the Lodge that the dues maintain the Lodge. The monies the Master has to operate with are based on the membership and that all members pay their dues. Not paying your dues takes that money out of the budget. Each master plans his year based on the dues paying membership to determine the money he will have to operate the lodge for his year as master.

So brother, if you have not paid your dues. Please pay before you are suspended

We are way behind our raising of funds for the Children’s Home Christmas party due to lack of support for the 3^rd Saturday breakfasts.

Fraternally,

Stephen D. Edson P.M., Sec.
