Brethren, Tuesday, 18 August will be our Monthly Family Night.  Our program will be presented by the VP of Operations, "Soldiers Heroes".  This is a non-profit organization that support veterans and military members in several ways.  Come on out and have a meal with your Brothers and attend the presentation.  Thursday, 27 August we will be holding a "Welcome back to Lodge" night.  We hope to help those who are not sure if they can still attend Lodge or how to do certain things associated with attending Lodge.  Come out and be a part of the exercise, who knows you may learn something you did not know.  Look for the Trestleboard and mark your calendars for upcoming events.  I know I have to keep my calendar handy to be sure that I mark down events as I know about them.  We all need reminding sometimes.  Look forward to seeing you in Lodge.
