We have on-going degree work for six candidates; and brothers have promised a few more Petitions are on the way.  The Degree Teams have presented excellent work—you would be proud of your brothers—so don’t miss the work.  We also enjoy Masonic Education/History each meeting.  Please complete and return the attached Veteran’s information for the Honor Malta’s Veterans night.  Also, please submit nominations for Citizen of the Year and Student of the Year.

 

            The Tuesday Morning Coffee Club at the Lodge Hall at 10 AM is still going strong.  Come join us for a cup and a bite of home-made goodies. 

 

            The Grand Master’s Winter Reunion is in Casper on January 13.  It would be great to take a couple of car loads—maybe even take a candidate or two.

 

            Big Horn Basin Master’s Club will be in a few months.  Watch for details.  We hope to take candidates. We look forward to seeing you in the near future.  Have a Prosperous New Year!!

 

Fraternally,
