News From The Worshipful Master
Brethren,
As I am writing this bulletin Spring has sprung. The trees are budding and the tulips have sprung.
On the 5th of March RWB John Sanner and myself attended the Grand Master’s Reception. There was an excellent turn out. Beaver Valley Lodge sponsored our Grand Treasurer RWB Ron Connelly and his wife Elaine for this event. Beaver Valley and Knollwood Lodges also nominated the winner for the Youth of Excellent Award for the Order of Rainbow, Ms. Grace Collins, who is Knollwood Assembly’s Worthy Advisor. Congratulations Grace!
Our annual Inspection season ended on March 12th. The brethren of the District supported the lodges through out the inspections. Fairborn Lodge #764 won the traveling gavel again this year. They had the highest percentage of brethren traveling to the inspections. The 8th District Officers Association also held their Annual Meeting and Installation of Officers that day. Our own WB Skip Vanderhorst was elected to the position of 2nd Vice– President. Congratulation WB Skip!
April will be a busy month. April 7th will be our monthly business meeting. It will start at 7:30 P.M. with dinner at 6:30 P.M. The dinner will be supplied by the Treasurer and Secretary. On the 21st of April the Past Masters will be portraying the EA Degree. Come on out and watch the Past Masters brush off their skills and initiate a newly elected member. The Past Masters Night will start at 7:00 P.M. Also, on the 28th Beaver Valley Lodge will be portraying the MM Degree. The degree will start at 6:30 P.M.
The 8th District is starting up a new program, called Junior Officers Educational Day, on April the 25th at Fayette Lodge. This program is for the junior officers or anyone who is interest in becoming an officer. It will teach you how to prepare for your year as Worshipful Master. The District is also working on bringing back an educational program based on the same ideas of the T.E.L.L. Program. I will let you know more details later when they come available.
Everyone has heard of the Horse Traders Degree in Kentucky. Well the 8th District is starting up one for the state of Ohio. It is called the Buckeye Degree. This mock degree will be held at Jamestown Lodge on the 9th of April. The degree begins with registration starting at 11:00 A.M. and lunch at 12:00 P.M. The degree work will start at 1:00 P.M. They are only excepting the first 75 petitions. So, if you are interested in participating please contact Steve Brown at stevebrown@dragonbbs.com for your petition.
