CHRISTMAS BASKET DELIVERIES

Deliveries start at 9:00 a.m.
Boys Home Dinner at 11 a.m.
Remember, we need help to deliver fruit baskets to this year's widows and shut-ins. We also need help chaperoning the annual Boys Home Christmas dinner and party from about 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
OPEN INSTALLATION
Wednesday, 18 December 2024, 7:30 p.m.
The lodge will hold a public installation of officers for the 2024-2025 year. Friends and family are invited to attend and see some of what Freemasonry is about. Plan now to attend and show your support for these incoming officers!
SECRETARY'S DESK
DUES CARDS
We are still waiting for the new dues cards from Grand Lodge. I'll send them out as soon as they arrive. We still have 26 brothers who owe dues, so please send in your payment by 01 January to avoid being delinquent. As always, if you need help paying dues, let the Master or Secretary Know.
ANNUAL MEETING
ELLECTION OF OFFICERS
Monday, 09 December 2024, 7:30 p.m.
All committees shall report on their activities for the year. Elections will be held for all offices. If you wish to hold an office, but cannot attend, call the Master or Secretary and let them know. Colonel Clay has a long, proud history. We need a few good men to take some time to attend and take an office. Brothers, we desperately need some new blood in the officer corps. Please give us an infusion of new ideas and new leadership.
CHRISTMAS PARTY
Saturday, 21 December 2024
Doors open at 5:00 p.m.
Dinner starts at 5:45 p.m.
Santa arrives about 7:00 p.m.
All members, families and friends are cordially invited to our annual Christmas Party, to be held in the dining room of the Scottish Rite Temple. Like last year, this will be a joint party with the other groups who meet in the Temple.
Call or e-mail the Secretary and let him know who many adults and children are coming so we can plan for the food and gifts. Since we are buying gifts for the children under age 16, we need to know their sex and age so we can get an appropriate gift.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!!
We need a preliminary count by November 6th. The final reservations must be back to me by NO LATER THAN SATURDAY, 23 NOVEMBER
