The visit to Andrew Jackson was most enjoyable. Twelve of our members were present at that lodge meeting. The Area Leadership conference was both informative and inspiring. Each officer had a chance to meet with his Grand Lodge counterpart.
Our Ladies Night with Wm. L. Elkins Lodge #646 in the Philadelphia, Pa. area will be an opportunity for us to honor our ladies and renew our fraternal bonds to those brethren. Let' s all try to attend.
Our first stated communication will feature Rt. Wor. Ollie Hutton Chaplin speaking on the Square. Our second stated will feature Rt. Wor. John Price Ridell presenting The Symbols in the Lodge Replica Room.
We have two important schools this month. The regular District 1-A Ritual school is on April 28 and the Wm. Hiram Wood Ritual school where all officers are required to attend.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Walter L. Margeson
Worshipful Master
