Tresleboard February
January 27th, 2010Greetings From The East
We hit the ground running in 2010, and it looks like it will be a very busy year. We’re halfway into January and have already had our stated meeting and DLI at Amwell. The officers performed exceptionally at both. We have 5 petitions and 4 dual members to vote on at our February meeting. These new candidates will keep us busy with degree work over the next several months.
On February 1, 2010 we will be having an emergent communication for the FC exam of Brothers N. W., F. P., and D. S. After the examinations, we will have rehearsal for the MM degree.
Rehearsals are on Monday nights at 7:00PM. All officers are required to attend, cabletow permitting.
On February 8, 2010, we will be having an emergent communication to confer the MM degree. The Scottish Rite degree team will be doing the second section in costume. Three Past Grand Masters are part of the degree team, as well as many Past Masters. This will be an excellent MM degree, so come out and join us in raising these three brothers. Dinner is at 6:30PM, Lodge will be opened at 7:15PM and the degree will start at 7:30PM.
The DDGM’s official visit will be an emergent communication on Monday February 22. Dinner at 6:30, open Lodge at 7:30PM.
Fraternally,
Donald W. Murray, WM Amwell Lodge #12 F&AM
