We have just 4 weeks to our annual stated meeting and election of officers. My Brother the lodge is in need of your help.  We need some members to join the officer’s line as junior officers. There is a lot of work involved, but it is very rewarding.  Ask any Officer or Past Master and they will share the good times they had. If you are interested and are ready for a challenge, call me or one of the lodge officers, our phone numbers are on this bulletin.
          My Brother your attendance is needed NOW more than ever, as is your participation.  I know many of you have thought about it.  Now is the time.  I’ll bet a lot of you say to yourself “I ought to go to lodge this week.”  Well why not really do it this time!  Your Lodge NEEDS YOU!!!  Call me (521-2598)

       Some good news,  W.B. Tim Skirvin is now grandpa.  Some more good news,  The Saturday after last months Stated Meeting I got a phone call from RWB Gary Cox,  He told me there was a Linwood Lodge  Past Masters Jewel for sale on Ebay. (Brother Johnny Carson had told him.) To make a long story short, I was the high bidder when the auction ended. WB Retherford and I drove 40 miles
north of Columbus (Mt. Vernon) on Sunday to pick up the jewel.   The jewel is home again. Thank You Brother Johnny Carson and R.W.B. Gary Cox both of you helped save a piece of Linwood Lodge’s history.

Until next month ……

"May God bless You and keep You, May He make his face to shine upon You and be gracious unto You, And may God grant unto You, his peace. In Your going out and Your coming in, in Your lying down and in Your raising up, in Your labor and in Your leisure, in Your laughter and in Your tears, Until You come to stand before Him in that day in which there is no sunset and no dawning."
