This year, we will hold the Annual Lodge Picnic on Saturday, June 18, 1977 at Fort Hunt Park, Area 'B'. This area is adjacent to the area we had last year, and the parking lot is the second lot after you enter the park gate. Although we were unable to obtain the large pavilion, the will be plenty of trees for shade in our area. However, you may want to bring along your beach umbrellas, lawn chairs, and any other item of creature comfort you may desire. We have planned pony rides for the small ones, games for all, and plenty of food and drinks. Bring the entire family, and your guests are naturally welcome. Hope to see you there. We cannot make any promises, but the order is in for Sunshine and good weather.

As we enter June, the 6th month of the year, it is time to take our hats off to the wives and Lady friends of the Officers and brethern of the Lodge. Their patience and understanding during our absence is most appreciated by everyone, especially this Worshipful Master. Do be patient, the year is almost half gone. Thanks GIRLS.

As Al Bernstein said, 'Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June'.

Sincerely and fraternally,
John R. Ranck, Sr.

Worshipful Master
