Where is Winter?

Shhhhhh!

We don’t know the answer to that one. After serious reflection, we’re not even sure we care. Countless trees have been sacrificed on the topics of global warming, global cooling, the coming ice age, future droughts, the effect of sun spots, and other similar concerns. What we know for sure is parts of Alaska have already had 3 times their normal yearly snowfall, and we haven’t. This week we count ourselves lucky!

By now you are surely aware Inspection season is in full bloom. Several Lodges have had their operations examined by the team of DDGMs and DEOs, with many yet to come. Our opportunity to impress has undergone a slight adjustment since our last post. Our Inspection date has been changed to Saturday, March 17, at 2:30pm. There will be no meal or snacks associated with our event, but there will be a dinner served at Bellefontaine #209 prior to their EA Inspection.

Here are the Birthdays celebrated during the month of February. If you happen to talk with one of these Brethren, wish him well!

The following are suggested events for your calendar:

March 17, 2012. Our Inspection in the EA degree. Inspection starts at 2:30pm for the pleasure of RWB Paul Robinson, DDGM. Please Note: This is a change from the date and time previous posted.

April 13, 2012. 15th District Grand Masters Reception. Held at the Huntsville Event Center, Huntsville, OH. Dinner scheduled to start at 7pm.

In addition to the above, we are making plans for our next degree experience (MM) and Masonic Awards Recognition. The date of the degree experience hinges on our Inspection preparations, our candidate’s work schedule, and exam proficiency. Most likely we are looking at the second meeting in April, or the first meeting in May. At this time the Masonic Awards Recognition is tentatively slated for May 16. As soon as the dates for either of these events are finalized, they will be posted.

Until the next time, enjoy the great spring weather while it lasts!

See you in Lodge!
