Come to Floor School Wednesday, August 1st for practice of the EA proficiency and conferral. There is plenty of ice cream and root beer for floats. Channel the Fonz and join your brothers for an evening of fellowship (and floats).
August floor schools, as usual, will practice EA Aug 1st, FC Aug 8th, MM August 15, Open and close the Lodge August 22 and anybody’s preference August 29th. Focus will be on proficiency exams and floor work. If anyone shows up who would like practice in a particular degree, we can break out an instructor for that purpose.
So, attend, participate and enjoy, regardless of your degree. All will be welcome.
Brothers, remember that the Worshipful Master has called a meeting for 7:00pm this evening to conduct the installation of our Junior Steward. Please attend to show your support for our new Master Mason and for your lodge. Light refreshments will be provided at 6:30pm.
Also, two building issues to be aware of:
The A/C should be fixed within a week.
The elevator is running, but with the usual caveats. We are awaiting the arrival of replacement parts that should make it more reliable in the future.
Thank you to our Building Committee for the time they have been putting into getting these issues worked out!
See you all tonight!
