On Saturday, November 1, we will be making our annual and traditional Fraternal Visit to Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We will be presenting Most Worshipful Frederick Garrison Martin III, Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, with a portrait of him sitting in the Washington chair in The Alexandria-Washington Replica Lodge Room. There will be a dinner served at 6:30 p.m. Please call me if you would like to attend, so I can give an accurate head-count to the Master of Fredericksburg Lodge no later than October 25.

There is only one Stated Communication this month. We will be presenting the last topic from the Master's Plan that evening. Our guest speaker will be Worshipful Brother Charles Richard Walk, PM. He will be speaking on the scheduled topic of "The Dead Sea Scrolls". We will also be announcing the results of the proposed Grand Lodge Resolutions for the 2003/6003 Masonic Year.
NOTIFICATION: At our Stated Communication on November 13, we will be voting on the Senior Warden's plan for dues adjustment. This will constitute a proposed change in the Lodge Bylaws, which shall read as follows:
Every member of this Lodge except the Treasurer, Secretary, Tiler, one Chaplain, Honorary Members and Life Members in Perpetuity shall be charged by the Secretary with the sum of one hundred thirty-six dollars and no cents ($136.00), plus the Grand Lodge dues and assessment as annual dues.
The financial stability and future of our Lodge is an important matter that needs to be discussed. Please make plans to attend.
Sincerely and fraternally,
James M. Stevenson
Worshipful Master
