Brethren,

Summer is almost over and we will being coming out of
darkness and into light, but as you read this St. Andrews has had
the first official DDGM visitation where I was the guest candidate
for the first section and Jason Richards for the second section for
the MM Degree. Strafford Lodge was well represented, thank
you. Monday, August 30th, is St. James’s official visitation and I
will be the first section guest candidate again. Hopefully we will
be as well represented.

I hope everyone had a great summer and is well rested
because September is going to be the busiest month since I took
over. We have something going on every Wednesday, plus two
DDGM visitations at other lodges, and our Veteran’s Program.
I’d love to see a lot of you there. Also there is a Ladies at the
Table Breakfast Lodge and a Masters and Wardens meeting if
you desire.

There is only one scheduled rehearsal for our official
visitation. Please be at the Lodge on Sept. 22nd at 7 pm to
practice the EA Degree. All participants are highly desired to
attend.

Let’s make this a great month and have lots of fun with it.

Fraternally

David S. Butler
Worshipful Master
