Message from the Worshipful Master – August 11, 2015
Brothers-
We continue with our summer. I hope that everyone has enjoyed the warmer weather and that everyone has been able to enjoy the time with friends and family! As the summer comes to a close, our work continues at a frantic pace.
I have some bad news to share. RWB William “Bill” Baker with Prince Hall has lost his brother this week. Brother Bill’s brother, Richard Baker, has passed away. Memorial services for Richard Baker will be held Friday 08-14-15 from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM at Watkins Memorial Chapel located at 4000 Emanuel Cleaver Blvd. Kansas City, MO. RWB Bill has supported many of our events and I would like to support Brother Bill in his time of mourning the loss of his brother. If anyone has the time to attend and pay their respects to Brother Bill I am sure the family would appreciate it.
Brother Steve Holbrook has been working hard to organize a BBQ competition for this weekend. It will Start on Friday (08-14-15) and continue to Saturday (08-15-15). This is a first for our Lodge. Please spread the word so we can get a large turn out. I should smell WOUNDERFUL!
We will have our second Special Communication on Thursday 08-20-15. The communication will start at 7:00 PM to discuss the possible purchase of part/all/none of the adjoining bank parking lot. We already had one Special Communication on this topic. The next meeting (08-20-15) will have limited presentation and discussion then I will ask someone to make a motion for the Lodge to vote on. We will have a course of action mapped out that night, the vote will dictate what that course of action will be.
We will have our next Regular Communication on Thursday 09-03-15 starting at 7:30 PM. Our regular communications continue to be the first and third Thursday of each month from September until June.
Stay well and I look forward to seeing my Brothers soon!
