A BIG THANK YOU to all participants in the Grand Master visit, especially those of you that helped with the setup and cleanup.  We had a great turnout and all enjoyed the visit.  The Grand Master spoke on the difference between making members and making Masons.

The ‘kIDs’ Child ID Program on April 18 had an excellent response at the Ridgeview Classical Schools.  The work of Larry Moline, Sid Waldrop, Russ Mason, Tom Douglas, Andre Volosov, Paul Gill and Don Lewin made the clinic a success.  We even had a 5 month old participant.  We have scheduled another Child ID Clinic on Saturday, May 3 at the Masonic Temple from 2:00 - 4:00pm.

We are pleased to welcome our newest Entered Apprentices, Luke Angerhofer and Robert Reavis.  These Brothers were initiated on Thursday, April 24.  We had an excellent attendance to witness the beginning of their Masonic journey.

We will raise David Schwaab and Harris Jensen to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on Saturday, May 17.  We will start with refreshments at 8:00am and open a Special Communication for the degree work at 9:00am.  Our practice for the Master Mason Degree will be on Thursday,  May 1 at 7:00pm.

We will honor our deceased brethren at our Stated Meeting on Thursday, May 22.  This will be our last meeting before going dark for the summer.
