FROM THE EAST
Brethren,
What a wonderful March we had at the Lodge, starting with a corned beef and cabbage dinner as part of our “Scottish Rite Night” Stated Communication on Thursday, March 9th, where Illustrious Phil Taylor, 33rd Inspector General Honorary, gave a great Masonic Education program on symbols in our lives. Then on Friday, March 10th, the 36th and 56th Masonic Districts welcomed Most Worshipful Donald Ellis Strehle, 177th Grand Master of Masons in Virginia for his official visit. We had a Fellowship Breakfast followed by our bi-monthly litter pickup at Groveland Park on Saturday, March 11th along with a Pasta Dinner Social on Wednesday, March 15th. Needless to say, there was plenty of good food and great Masonic fellowship all around at each of these events.
We have plenty of activities for you to participate in during the month of April. The annual Hicks/Parkerson School of Masonic Ritual will be held in two sessions. The first will be 7:30 am-2:00 pm, Saturday, April 8th at Lake Drummond Lodge No. 178, 509 George Washington Hwy N, Chesapeake, VA 23323.
