Greetings, Brothers!

I hope you and yours had a bountiful Thanksgiving holiday and that you are preparing for the upcoming Christmas holiday.

Please find attached your December Lodge Notice, which includes information about a unique opportunity for our December Stated Meeting on Dec. 19. Under the direction of RWGM Larry A. Derr, all Lodges must conduct open installations. So, if you would like to bring your friends and family, please know that they will have to wait to be admitted for the open installation portion of the meeting. Also, they can participate in the dinner at 5:45 p.m., which will be held prior to the Lodge meeting in the lower level of the Consistory Building. Recommended donations for the dinner are $15.00, and the dinner will consist of the traditional roast beef.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all!

Sincerely and Fraternally,
Gerald D Feaser Jr, PM
Secretary

PS. One note to add to the prior message: To ensure we have meals for all those who attend the dinner prior to the Dec. 19th Stated Meeting, reservations must be received by Sunday, December 15.
