Brethren,
June has been an exciting and productive month. Grand Lodge was
convened on 10 June, 2010 through 12 June, 2010. There are a few
changes that were voted in and a new Grand Line was elected.
Congratulations to all the new Grand Lodge Officers!
VWB Joe Finotti was recognized for the award he received last
fall. A sailor from our area was recognized as one of three Grand
Lodge Military persons of the year. MA1 Cheeks was recognized at the
Fellowship Dinner on Thursday night along with a Marine from Fort
Lewis and an Air Guardsman from Spokane.
We raised Brother Paul Miller to the Fellowcraft degree and did
it in good style. Brother Chris Gunnel did an admirable job in the
East and WB George Kuhr gave an excellent lecture and charge. Next
up is an Entered Apprentice degree on the 24th.
I had the pleasure of attending the Rainbow Girls meeting on the
16th. The theme of their meeting was an early celebration
of Fathers’ Day. Every young Lady gave a fond memory of their
father. This was the last meeting for this term and their new line,
theme, color and mascot were announced. Brothers, these young ladies
do great work and are very energetic. If you get a chance to attend
their meetings they are held the first and third Wednesday of the
month at 7 P.M.
We voted not to hold the third of July Barbeque this year. It
seems the economy has claimed another victim. If the city still has
a 3rd of July celebration we will have the lodge doors
open to allow members and their families to view the fireworks from
the lodge.
Our next stated meeting will be on 1 July, 2010. Dinner will be
at 6:30 P.M. with the meeting starting at 7:30 P.M. This will be
PAST MASTERS’ NIGHT and I look forward to recognizing our past
masters and hearing a little history of the lodge. See you at the
Stated.
Fraternally,
WB Skip Nielsen
Master
