Treastleboard

 

 

Dear Brethren:

 

In order to save a little money I have decided to publish the Trestleboard during our busy months only.  All of our events are posted under the calendar and we use the phone system to inform Brethren of deaths and degrees.

Electronic Copy of the January Trestleboard.  Just click and print!

This year we will be supporting various charitable organizations like the American Redcross, Toys for Tots, Shenandoah Valley Young Marines, Boy and Girl Scouts, MOHAVO, Scholarship, and of our Brethren and widows.

 

Also, we will return to the Breakfast at the end of the month.  Check the Calendar for the exact date of each breakfast and or events.

 

We will also have a Buy a Brick program to raise money for the lodge.  We are looking at renovating the foyer or entrance way with some nice bricks and pictures that Brethren can see when they come into our Lodge.  The profit will go to the building fund and help purchase a fence for the parking lot.  More details are coming on this project ...

 

I do not want to raise any dues in my year.  However, we do need to raise some money for the maintance of the lodge and to pay the bills.  The water, electric, heat, mailings, have all increased and we need to find away to continue to pay our bills.  Last year we had over $18,000 and now we are down to $10,000.  Something has to change!

 

One good note is our scholarship is doing outstanding - we have over $12,500 dollars and will be giving out a $500 scholarship this year.  If any Brother has a kid who is a senior in high school and could use a scholarship for next year college or vocational training then contact me.

 

If you have any questions about what is going on in our lodge then contact me or stop by and find out for yourself.  Stated meetings are the same and we practice on Wednesdays.

Hope to see you at one of our many events this year.

Be safe and God Bless everyone,
