Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22

July 1990

FROM THE EAST

Brethren,

The resolution on the increase in dues from $19.00 to $25.00 annually which was proposed at our Stated Communication on May 10th was discussed at our Stated Communication on June 14th, but, was laid over for action until July 12th to allow time for our Treasurer to present detailed accounting figures to the Lodge to support the increase need.

The resolution change as shown on the insert page of this trestleboard was proposed at our Stated Communication on June 14th and will come up for action at our Stated Communication on July 12th.

We have had our first meeting on the Beverly Mass trip. There are still seats available on the bus; don't miss this opportunity to visit our Brothers in Beverly.

At the first stated meeting this month we will have a patriotic program, "Unsung Heroes," put on by John MacEntire and Walter Scott Downs. This will be a performance you should not miss.

We will travel to Blacksburg, Virginia on July 22nd to attend the annual Southwest Masonic School located at the VPI Campus - return on the 25th.

At the second stated meeting we will recognize another outstanding member of our Lodge - come and help us celebrate this affair.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Wardell H. Thomas
Worshipful Master
