Abilene 559 will NOT be holding its regular floor school tonight, as many of our brothers will be assisting with a Master degree in Anson.
We would encourage any who are able to join our Brethren in Anson at 6:30 for a meal, and a Master conferral at 7:30 this evening. Their address is 932 12th St, Anson TX 79501.
Thank you, Brothers, and we will see you next Wednesday evening at 6:30pm for floor school!
There will be a joint Installation of Officers for Abilene Lodge 559, Hobah Lodge 1394, and John Sayles Lodge 1408 on Saturday, June 26 at 11am hosted by John Sayles Lodge (3201 S 27th St). There will be a brisket luncheon following the Installation, so please invite friends and family!
Abilene 559 will be conferring an Entered Apprentice Degree tomorrow (Thursday) at 7:00pm. All are encourage to participate and welcome our new initiate. Light refreshment will be served at 6:30pm.
We will have two EA conferrals next Thursday (June 17) at 7:00pm, as well, so please mark your calendars and plan to be there!

Reminder that our December Stated Meeting is tonight (Dec 3) at 7:30pm, with a meal provided at 6:30pm. We hope to see you all there!
Thank you to all who attended our Stated Meeting this evening. It was good to see your faces after our brief hiatus.
Congratulations to our newly elected officers for the ensuing Masonic year:
– Mike Sherman, Worshipful Master Elect
– J.B. Cloud, Senior Warden Elect
– Mitt Chorn, Junior Warden Elect
– Ron Houghton, Treasurer Elect
– Jerry Jones, Secretary Elect
– Jonathan Carroll, Tiler Elect
We will hold our Installation of Officers on Saturday, July 11 at 2:00pm. All elected and appointed officers are requested to arrive at 1:00pm to assist in closing a Lodge of Sorrow, open a Masters Lodge, and prepare the lodge room (any others who would like to participate are encouraged to do so). M.W. Underwood’s April 29 proclamation prevents us from serving any refreshments at this time, and social distancing measures will be required.
We are still operating under M.W. Underwood’s proclamation of April 29, which means there is NO Stated Meeting planned for July 2nd, and floor school and all degree work is suspended until further notice.
And finally, my thanks to the Bylaws Committee for their hard work and diligence. They have proposed new Bylaws (following Grand Lodge Form 23) and Rules & Regulations for Abilene Lodge 559 that will be voted on at our next Stated Meeting. Please reach out to this committee (Don Ballard, J.B. Cloud, and John Armistead) or Jonathan Carroll if you would like to review the proposed documents beforehand.
Until we meet again, please stay safe, and reach out to your Brothers if there is anything we can do for you!
