FROM THE EAST
My Dear Brothers,
I want to start out by thanking our Brother the Junior Warden for setting up an EA Degree last month
that not only allowed us to bring four new Brothers into our Lodge, but also gave us to opportunity to
do one of our fellow Lodges a favor by initiating a candidate for them.
At our next Stated Communications (if I can make it), we will discuss some of the things that we’d like
to do this summer with regard to cleaning and fixing up the Lodge so that we can rent the hall. We will also be
discussing our fund raising efforts for the year as well as straightening up the Lodge Committee assignments to
get done the things that Grand Lodge want us to work on.
Please call or text me if there is anything you’d like to discuss.
God Bless you all.
Fraternally,
W:.Frank A. Hudson
Worshipful Master
FROM THE WEST
My Brothers,
Spring is here! I hope everyone has
been enjoying our Stated Communications for
the year. We have a great Month ahead of us starting on
April 7th.
Don’t forget to attend Masters and Wardens at
Pinecastle Lodge #368 on Saturday, April 4th, at 8am, and
the District School of Instruction on Wednesday, April
8th and 22nd at 7:30pm.
See you in the Light,
Eola held the 1st EA degree of the year on
3/25/2015. Five (5) brothers have been added to the roles
of Masonry. Four new brother came into our lodge with one
courtesy initiation for Orange Lodge No. 36 or as they say
there “The Lodge”. Please introduce yourselves to Joseph,
Bryand, Jason, and Corey when you see a new face in the
lodge.

Senior Warden
FROM THE SOUTH
Brothers,
Life is a continual learning process. To
learn is to grow and we all continue to grow.
If you are interested in or have a question
about something please ask.
Brothers stop by for the meeting or just stop in
and say HI. If you have not been in a while, are new, or
something else then now is a good time to visit. Most
people show up around 6:00pm to talk and meet others.
We can always use the help with mentors and other items.
Education/Mentoring
Instruction for our new EA’s and FC is now
set for 6:00 PM each Tuesday and Thursday at the
lodge. Classes may from time to time be held by each
individual instructor outside this allotted time and will
be coordinated by the individual instructor. In order
to provide the best possible instruction, additional
instructors are needed. In the event the lodge is in-use by
other bodies, we will meet in the anti-rooms of the lodge.
With the instructors we currently have this schedule is
going to be hard to keep, If you can make yourself
available to assist, get with Troy, or Fred.
Br. Troy McQuagge
Junior Warden
This was also a proud
evening for W:. Val McLaughlin
(1981 Miami Temple #247) as
he had the pleasure of seeing
his grandson initiated into the
fraternity.
A good time was had by all.
