We initiated 4, passed 5, and raised 5 new brothers into Fellowship Lodge. Courtesy work was done for Palma Ceia Lodge and Community Lodge during our Degrees. Thanks to brothers from Palma Ceia Lodge, Community Lodge, and all the brothers from the various Lodges taking part in our degrees.
Congratulations to Junior Torres for coordinating the degree teams for this class.
Grand Lodge Delegates are Richard Agster, Junior Torres, and myself who will report on proceedings next month.
Master’s Project has started and some of the bathroom renovation materials have been purchased. Watch for pictures next month of our progress with before and later after pictures to see the difference. Go to the Masters Project page and click on renovate to get to the photo's so far. Flyers and tickets for the up coming Fund Raiser will be in the mail soon.
If you know of a brother or a sister that should be or wants to get the trestle board and is not receiving it please let us know their current address so we can update our mailing list. We have numerous pieces of returned mail, which costs us to get them back.

Well the Month of May has brought a lot of excitement and a lot of work from many of the members of the Lodge.

May 14th was an Entered Apprentice Degree for 6- 4 of which from our Lodge
May 16th was the 3rd Saturday breakfast, Memorial Lodge, Fellow Craft Degree and a Master Mason Degree
I would like to personally Thank every single Brother that helped out with anything concerning these Degrees. From coming to the many practices to help learn your role, or coming to help someone else learn their lines, or just coming to fill in for the night it was much appreciated by me!
I would also like to Thank the various Brother from the many lodges that we had assist us with all the Degrees. We had represented about 7 or 8 different lodges. I just hope that one day we as a lodge can return the favor to them.
Lastly I want to thank Cathy Edson for doing lunch between the Fellowcraft and Master Mason Degree's and Joan Hundley for volunteering to make dinner for your May 19th stated meeting. This was a great help and benefit to me and the lodge.
Next month we will bring you information from Grand Lodge. Until then Stay safe, and if you want to receive emails on the doings of the lodge email me
