Good Evening Brethren,
This month we had an absolutely excellent Stated Meeting with close to 50 brothers in attendance. We were able to honor our veterans and pay our respects to the Brethern who we lost over the last 12 months. We also recognized the Past Masters who were at the meeting. I read three petitions and the business of the Lodge was completed. Lastly, we elected our incoming 2025 officers.
On Friday night Brother Herman conferred the First Degree or Entered Apprentice Degree to Brother Keith Shepard. After the degree, we went to Maggiano’s to continue the fellowship with a delicious meal.
Fun was had by everyone and it was another example of the strength of St. Alban Lodge No. 529.
Now onto some important information as we approach the end of the year:
We will be having only one meeting in December. The date of the Stated Meeting is 12-11-2024. The meal will be in the Masonic Temple at 5:30 pm. If you know that you will be attending the meal, please let me know.
I would like to thank the numerous brothers who have paid their dues either by check or on Grandview. The deadline to pay is December 27th and this date is fast approaching, so please send in your payment.
We are anticipating a busy year for degree work in 2025. We have a good amount of candidates and petitions that should cause us to meet twice a month for the foreseeable future.
I hope everyone has a great week. I would like to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Andrew B. Schure
Secretary of St. Alban Lodge No. 529
