Remember, the PICNIC is Sunday June 2, 1985, at Fort Hunt Park. We will be serving at about 2:30 p.m. I would like to also bring two other matters to your attention; one concerns our youth groups. I recently heard that Bethel #4 will be closing. And, I know that Bethel #22 and AW Chapter need members and support. So, when you meet young people or visit friends and relatives who have children, remember to ask if they would like to join our youth groups. Futher, AW Chapter is still in need of a Chapter Dad. The second thing is that during this summer our lodge plans and hopes (according to what I have heard) to have a lot of degree work. So, if you are interested, we would welcome the extra help.

For the first stated on June 13th we will have a Patriot's Program with Worshipful Archie Lyon making the salute to the flag. Also, June's Masonic brithdays will be celebrated during this meeting and any brother who missed his birthday in April or May is also welcome. On June 27th at our second stated, we will have Bro. Dave Kruger present our St. John's Day Program. It has been a long time since this excellent Masonic speaker has presented his program in our lodge. Let us show our support for this outstanding Mason.

Your dues bill for 1985 have been sent, so pay your 1985 dues soon. Also, if you wish to attend the Grand Master's Official Visit to Masonic Districts 1A and 1B on Saturday, July 13, 1985, I have tickets for sale.

With best wishes, I am

Fraternally,

John M. Nicholson, Jr.
Worshipful Master

Alexandria-Washington DeMolay Chapter meets at 5:00 p.m. each second and fourth Saturday at GWMNM. Please show your support.
