Brothers,
There will be a FC Degree this Saturday at 9:00 for three Candidates. The Brothers will be staggered and the two principal officers of the Degree team will be Bill Wolter and Bill Blakeley. It does not get any better than this for Degree work. Please plan your morning to include the Degree at the Lodge. If you are a Master Mason or a Fellow Craft you will be welcome.

We are in the process of picking up a new member of our Lodge through Plural Membership from a Pennsylvania Lodge, His name is Brother Craig Gaters. Welcome to # `12 and we should have all the paper work complete this month between the two jurisdictions.

Feb 22 @ 6;00 PM Master Mike would like to gather some bodies to start in the restoration process of the room behind the Masters Chair. This means to get the shelves cleaned off of old Junk which has accumulated for years including a 16' wood ladder and some left over carpeting. Our intent is to have lights installed and to make this a library. We will also keep the items needed for each Degree. When we were burglarized the vandal (s) tipped over boxes of books which need a new home. Please put this on your to-do list for an hour or two. I think Bill Petkoff is bringing his truck so we can do major clean up project.

The Committee for the new Candidate. Rod Paulsen Dave Brach, Bill Petkoff and Master Mike as the Chairman. I have all the papers ready for Mike.

K-C/Masonic dinner is scheduled for March 22 In Elkhorn at the K-C Hall. I will send a separate email on this and please put it on your calendar for March. Usually about $10.00 for the night. More to follow.

The first Grand Masters Testimonial Dinner is scheduled for Feb. 24 @ 6:00. The place is Country Springs Hotel 2810 Golf Rd in Pewaukee. Bro Jim Jante is coordinating this and we must have reservations in by the 17th. (that is this Saturday) We will need to give the Host your food preference either Prime rib or Chicken Breast. Advise me at 728-6822 or cell 949-0392 or email me at russ@masonsrock.org We can figure a car pool or maybe a van arrangement and we can request a Lodge check and the Brothers will be responsible for $25.00 per person. You must jump on this ASAP as the reservations are due by the 17th. Normally what we do on a car pool is throw in $5.00 toward the gas bill. If you have already made arrangements please also let me know .

Put on your thinking caps. Past Brother George M. Mitchell and his wife Ethel J Mitchell. Anyone remember him? Advise.

I have been made aware of a new development behind our Lodge and a potential request for additional pipeline through the existing easment on the North side of our property. We have not been contacted as yet but probably will soon.

We are having a Pancake breakfast on the 6th of May. Expect a call from Bill Petkoff.
