July News Letter Garner Lodge 701

  Brethren,

   If you did not get the newsletter last month I apologize. The machine at the post office read the lodge letterhead and sent several letters back to the post office box. I had re-mailed some of them with stamps and a few me of those came back again also. Hopefully moving the return address will help.

Our last meeting was a little low on attendance but we had lot to discuss. The 4^th is coming and we have been asked again to participate in the celebration at Lake Benson on July 3^rd, and are working on getting that together.

   The lodges in the 15 Masonic district is having the picnic again this year at M.E.S.H. and the Oxford Home for Children so please plan to come if you can. The M.E.S.H picnic is on July 10^th and the Masonic Home for Children picnic will be on the 28^th of August. Brother Randy is trying to coordinate a baseball game between the children at the home and his son’s team in Garner and should be a great activity for us all.

   While we are listing activities, please plan on attending the Masonic Home for Children on June 26^th, St John’s Day.

    Many thanks again to Randy and his family for a great meal before the meeting. Randy’s efforts with the cans are paying off too so thanks for all who have brought them to the lodge and keep it up please.

    Thanks to Brother Jimmy Stevens for a very informative presentation on The Masonic Funeral for our Masonic Education. It reminded us all that we need to make sure if that’s something we want it’s not a bad idea to have that documented some where with all of our Masonic History included also.

    Our candidate should be ready for the last meeting this month so please come if you can.

Fraternally

Greg Ray
