Brethren, our Regular Meeting on Sept. 14, was just that, a Regular Meeting.  No Degrees for this evening.  This was the first time most of our Members had their first look at our new carpet which was installed of the Summer Months.

The Carpet has been removed from the Lodge Room on Saturday, Aug. 4, by a Lodge of “Working Masons”, the Number (5),  who have given a new meaning to “Floor Work”.

Brethren, we held our Regular Monthly Meeting, last evening, March 9th., and a wonderful meeting it was.  Our two new Affiliates, V.W. Bro. Darrell Yates came to us from Saskville Lodge, Nova Scotia and  Bro. Trevor  Horton, from Malta Lodge, North Dakota.  Both were in attendance and were greeted warmly. Also, R.W. Bro. Bill Bryce and his Son, W. Bro. Mitch Bryce visited from Britannia #23, Lloydminster.  Bro. Bill Bryce, also a Member of our Lodge, presented our Master with two Aprons, to be worn by our Sr. & Jr. Wardens, and to be passed to their successors on Installation.  Always nice to see Bill and his Son attend. Thanks for the presentation.

Our Master gave an explanation of his correspondence relating to importance of Mentoring new Members to Masonry. A very worthwhile endeavor.
