From the East.

Summer break is about over and it is time for the craft to resume their labors. Our first meeting will be on September 8, 2011 at our usual opening time of 7:00 p.m. The business of the meeting will mainly be catching up from the summer and any other business that may come up.

Far Hills Lodge had the privilege to bestow many service pins for brethren who have served Masonry for 50, 60 and 65 years. Brother Jack A. Daugherty received his 65 year service pi. Brethren who received 60 year pins were Robert D. Goodwin, Ronal I. Minor, William R. Ringo, Thomas H. Routsong PM, William E. Walser, and Mark J. Wells. Recipients of 50 year pins were Ted D. Flommersfeld, Lee E. Snyder, Donald R. Warner, Ronald H. Wills and Chester A. Roush. Congratulations and well done, brethren.

Also presented were 25, 35, and 40 year service pins to several brethren. More pins will be presented when our stock is replenished.

Temple

There will be a temple work day on September 17, 2011. On the docket are painting the portico, tree pruning, and cleanup of tree branches on the lawn. Before work begins we will be bostering up with a healthy serving of coffee and donuts.

Lodge Secretary

Dues notices are coming. Please, as you receive your notice, write the check immediately. If you can, bring it to our next meeting. That will solve two problems: Money and Attendance. We need both to keep our lodge viable and visible.

We would also like to see you. If you have ideas on how to improve our meetings, please pass them on to the WM or the SW.

On The Lighter Side

He was wondering why the Frisbee kept getting bigger. And then, it hit him.

A centipede is an inch worm that has gone metric.

One housewife to another: “What do you use for washing dishes?”
Second: “Oh, I tried many things, but found my husband best.”
