Halfway Through Fall? How Did That Happen?

After reading our last post it is obvious our attention was elsewhere this fall.  September came and went, as did most of October.  As we close in on November we’ll try to catch up.

Many changes have occurred since our last post.  We now have a new set of Grand Lodge officers, led by MWB James F. Easterling, Jr.  At the level of the 15^th District we have even more changes.  WB Bruce Seaburn is our District President, and WB Travis Lance is the new VP.  RWB John Crabbe has stepped down as Treasurer, being replaced by RWB Larry Lance.  RWB Charles Buck has replaced RWB Paul Robinson as DDGM, and we have two new DEOs:  WB Matthew Pollock and WB Michael Dodds.  Rarely has our District experienced such a large leadership change.  Our congratulations and best wishes go out to each, along with our appreciation for jobs well done by their predecessors.

Our calendar has had some adjustments since our last post also.  Some meeting dates have changed, as well as the starting times.  We’ve also added some events, so make sure to check out the entire list.

November 3 @ 9am.  District Secretary’s meeting held at Marion #70.  Not just for the Lodge Secretary, these meetings offer information and insight on future events.

November 6 from 6:30am until 7:30pm.  Election Day.  Vote! Discharging this responsibility only takes minutes, but is one of the basic features of our democracy.  It is called participatory government for a reason.

November 7 @ 7:30pm.  Annual Meeting and election of officers for 2012-13.  You don't have to take an office to attend, neither does staying home keep you from being considered. 

November 10 @ 7pm.  Installation of RWB Michael Dodds as DEO at Boggs Lodge in DeGraff. This is an open installation,so bring your wives and family.  Light snacks will be served.

That summarizes what we know for now.
