We have a number of things to mention. At least one is difficult, so we'll save that until last.
There have been changes to the 15th District Inspection Schedule. Rather than try to individually reference each adjustment, the schedule has been copied and pasted from the 15th District web site, noted on the left.

The last thing is the most difficult to address. For several years our membership roll has been dwindling. While we have an active core of members, maintaining all Lodge functions is increasingly difficult. For this reason we have decided to initiate inquiry about the merge process. This is not a move that is being taken lightly. We are proceeding cautiously, gathering information prior to making decisions of a more formal nature.
Where will this lead? Since our crystal ball is still in the repair shop, that isn't clear. What is clear is that we want to make decisions based on the most current and accurate information available, with understanding of potential results offered by each path. As we move through the information gathering process, we will post what we learn.
That's all we have for now. Till next time, we'll
See you in Lodge!
