Please be sure to attend the Regular meeting on this anniversary of becoming an Entered
Apprentice, if you can. We would be glad to see you. If you have not been to Lodge in a
while, here is an excellent reason to make this date. Call if you need a ride.
Dates to remember:
•
December 1; Genesis #305 Installation•
December2; North Star Christmas party -2:00pm•
March 12; Grand Master visit to District #2.North Star Christmas Party
This year our Christmas party is on December 2. Again, many hands will put on
a day for our kids, Grandkids, Greatgrandkids. Our costs for this are about $30
per child and that cost is meant to be covered by donation. People donate what
they can and all kids are welcome regardless. Last year there was a regrettable
problem with gifts for one family. Accordingly, we have created a policy that
allows any family who registers their young people to indicate they will supply
their own wrapped presents for the ones they register and reduce their donations
accordingly.
A second change the officers made was to extend an invitation to
other Lodges in District 2 to join us in welcoming the festive
season for our kids. Hopefully all the kids will have a great
day.

Break in At the Lodge hall
The past two weeks have been very trying for several members as we struggle to
get our Lodge Hall functional once more. The reason for this effort is that thieves
in search of copper (and anything else readily put in their arm) have stripped the
hall of electrical wire and copper plumbing. They got a small amount of cash from
lockers and some other stuff they could carry away. As a result, we are rewiring
the building, replacing copper pipe with plastic, reconnecting the telephone,
strengthening the doors, barring the windows, repairing the gas line and
installing an alarm.
2008 Dues
.The dues review resulted in a motion at lodge that had the reduced dues remain
at $100 for the next year and the regular dues rise to $170. These amounts are
reduced by $20 if payment is received by December 31. Please make this process
as easy as possible for your Secretary and yourself. Please pay by the deadline!
WBro. Jim Lippert
Secretary
Worshipful Masters Message:
I would like to thank all of the Brothers who are working hard to make the lodge hall usable
again. There is truly a lot of work going on.
The kids Christmas Party is coming December 2. Please get your donations and forms in to our
junior warden.
To those who cannot be there for the Christmas party with us, I will wish you and yours a very
Merry Christmas season and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
WBro Pat Kilmartin, WM
