Spring is a busy time everywhere. Ice and snow finally gives way to wind and rain, and temperatures rise to "almost warm enough". Across the country clouds of dust are signs that farmers are tilling and planting, and city-dwellers ponder the issues of mowers, landscaping, and flower beds. As we begin our head-long rush toward summer, our Lodge is busy too!

In an earlier post (below) are photos from our Masonic Awards Night. As noted, that night also featured an EA degree, which has caused ripples in our calendar. Please note our activities below, along with several which might be of general interest to the District.
