Did you know?

It never has been easier to be a Mason.  

Find out more here.

July/August 2008

 

Once again, the Master has been diverted, so yours truly is stepping in.

Due to an argument with the Grand Secretary, we haven't gotten authority to move our stated meeting to the Rude Road property, so business as usual at 3rd and Hostmark!  (Funny how the Grand Secretary always wins!)  Anyway, maybe later in the year.

The Temple Board has formed a committee to start planning the new building, so if you have any input contact our Chairman, Al Dillan at 360-394-7796. If you have contributed before to the process and have no updates you wish to contribute, then rest assured that your input has been heard and will be considered in the final plans.

We have seven candidates in the process of advancing in the degrees.  There are three that can't get away from their Navy responsibilities (imagine that), two more that are traveling a lot so catching them has been a cat and mouse game and the rest are busy working away at Masonic Education.

At the June Stated Meeting we voted to raise the fees for the degrees to a flat $300.00 regardless of age and also raised the yearly dues to $100.00 per year.  Seems gas isn't the only thing that is going up.

In most cases, the raise in dues makes life membership much more attractive for most of you.

If you are between the ages of:

18 thru 35 your one time fee..$450.00

36 thru 45 ........................... 400.00

46 thru 55 ........................... 300.00

56 thru 65 ........................... 250.00

66 and over ........................$200.00

If you need help in spreading out the payments, let me know.  We have ways!

As long as you are a member of the Grand Lodge of Washington, the life membership can follow you to other lodges if necessary.  Of course, what you spend in Washington, stays in Washington.

Hopefully we'll be incorporating Chris Gunnell's Trestleboard into this website in the near future and with his aid, will be expanding other areas as well.  We'll keep you informed.

Skip Nielsen has sent his greeting to the Brothers on several occasions, we just haven't mentioned them except in Lodge.  I hope we can change that soon.  I hope to get articles from him soon.  In case you don't know, Skip is teaching the Afghan's how to be an army.  Something tells me he is having a problem since the violence has escalated there since his arrival.  I hope they aren't ****** at him!

Fraternally,

Ken Wilson
