Is Summer really coming to
an end?
We’re
afraid so. Schools are back in session,
temperatures are starting to fall, and we are closing in on our first meeting
of the fall. Where has the time
gone? If you have the answer to that,
please share.
While
our attention has been on seasonal things (mowing, gardening, baseball, etc.)
our Lodge has managed to make our mark at a District event – the annual golf
outing. It isn’t gentlemanly to brag,
but the photo accompanying this post shows our Lodge Team Captain holding the
winner’s trophy. Rumor has it a spot is
already being cleared out for the permanent display.
One
event that has not yet occurred will happen on Labor Day. Below is the
message as received from the Grand Tyler:
Brethren all,
Monday,
September 3, 2018 (Labor Day) at 1pm, the Grand Master has planned a dedication
of the Veterans Memorial at the Western Reserve National Cemetery, 10175 Rawiga
Rd Seville, OH 44273. Please use whatever communication tool that you have to
make your members aware of this special event.
Sincerely
and fraternally,
Ronald L
Runion
Grand Tyler
Grand Lodge
of Ohio F&AM
Mark
your calendars accordingly.
As
you might suspect, we have additional listings to report. Below is the list as we know it at this time.
September 3, 2018 Labor Day.
Although many view this as the unofficial “last day of summer”, it was created
to celebrate those who do the heavy lifting that keeps our country going.
Whether you are firing up that grill, or muttering under your breath about
traffic, don’t lose sight of the effort and dedication it takes to provide us
the comforts we enjoy.

This is the day to celebrate those
who have placed their lives on the line for the freedoms we love. Don't take

take the opportunity to thank all the Veterans
