   Last night was one of those meetings that you were glad you were at. It started with another fine meal from our resident chef. It was one of my favorite, breakfast for supper.

Then we had the chance to see PGM J.E. Moseley present a 50 year apron to one our brothers. PGM J.E. is also a Past Master of our Lodge and a recipient of a 60 year apron. This is the fourth 50 year apron that was presented this year.

      We had 8 brothers stand their proficiency on various degrees. This clears the way for us to confer the FellowCraft at the next meeting (July 20th). We will have practice for this on July 13th starting at 6pm.

In the business part we discussed going to the Rock Quarry next month and the new bylaw changes were read for the first time. Notices should be mailed out soon.
