September News Letter Garner Lodge 701

Brethren,  

September as usual is going to be a very busy month. We have begun to discuss the proposed amendments to the code and will continue discussions in the next meetings prior to the Grand Lodge meeting September 24th and 25th.. We have copies of those proposals available at the lodge if anyone wants a copy. 

The Grand Master will visit the 13th District on September 14th at Butner Lodge #697 and all are invited so please come if you can.

The sporting clays fun shoot is also this month at Deep River Gun in Moncure. Contact Brother Randy Williams if you have any questions and please help us make this another successful event for the charities. 

Brother Jim Talaska has asked if anyone would like to be a Pen Pal in support of the troops over seas please let him know.  

We would also like to congratulate Brother Fletcher Clay on his promotion and send best wishes from the lodge. 

August was also a sad month for us as the role of Brother Bill Picket was read and a moment of silence as observed in his honor. Brother Bill served Garner lodge and Masonry faithfully for many years and we will miss him very much. The lodge also sends it’s condolences to Sister Helen and the family as well. 

I would also like to thank those who participated in the clean up day on Saturday. We cleaned the kitchen, refrigerator, freezer, stove, cabinets, and closet and mopped and waxed the floor in the dining room. We also will be discussing ideas on how to keep it clean next meeting and need to schedule another day for some repairs and cleaning for both upstairs and down. 

Thanks again for all the support this year. 

Fraternally

Greg Ray
