JULY and AUGUST - As is
traditional, we’ll go dark, but the Trustee Building and Grounds Committee is
seeking volunteers to help cutting grass or pounding a nail (general
maintenance).
A Lodge acquires finances through 3 regular
sources: initiation fees, annual dues, and fund raising activities.
Hope you make plans to attend the Gary Lodge Annual Smorgasbord Fund Raising
Dinner 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on June 8th. Please mark your calendar now! This event
channels funds to your Lodge. Bring a friend or neighbor who you think would
make a good candidate for membership by such exposure. We could hope to obtain
some worthy petitions for our degrees.
Our event was successfully held in March, the
Annual Easter Egg Hunt chaired by Larry Nelson, P.M. A fine banner was donated
by Bro. Ray Pavic of Garco Graphics and was placed in view of traffic on Route
30. *A G.T.W.H.B.A.
Sickness and distress: Brother Gary
Newcomer recently moved into a Nursing Home in Indianapolis, Indiana. Take a
moment to pray for him and also for your Sr. Steward, J. Rich who recently
underwent an operation, and for his family currently going through several
challenges. J. Rich will feel a whole lot better if you submitted to him the
name of a daughter, granddaughter, sister or niece for membership in Job’s
Daughters, the Masonic affiliate for young ladies. For details call him at (219)
662-2408. Our condolences goes out to our Senior Deacon Bryan Harpp, Lake County
Sheriff’s Department Officer who was devastated at the death of his K-9 Police
dog that died after a pursuit and shoot-out.
Enclosed with this issue you will find an example
of the hundreds of such short talk bulletins available through the Masonic
Service Association of United States. Be very proud of what you stand for,
especially in the turmoil of world events... “There you stand, a just and
upright Mason, never hesitate ever to walk and act as such.”
Fraternally,
John Collie, Jr. - Worshipful Master
*A good time was had by all.
