Good morning Brothers,
In 36 hours, our Fellowcraft Club members and Annawon Lodge Brothers in general are all invited to come with us to the Yale vs. Sacred Heart football game at the Yale Bowl. We would love to see a group of 12 or more Brothers meet us for the game,including our NEW MASTER MASONS!. Please email Dennis Frosolone or call me directly at (203) 233-2328 to confirm you will be meeting us at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning at the Lodge to caravan to the 12:00 p.m. game. It is annually a great day of football, but more importantly Brotherhood in a relaxing environment. Please see below for the rest of the details regarding the event. See you soon. Dennis Frosolone- Annawon Lodge #115 Secretary
On Saturday, 10/14/23, the Annawon Lodge #115 Fellowcraft Club will be going to the Sacred Heart vs. Yale Football Game. We will be congregating at 9:30 a.m. in the Annawon Lodge #115 parking lot. We will then caravan to Yale Field for the game with expect arrival of 10:00 a.m.. We encourage everyone to bring any snacks/refreshments to be shared amongst the Brothers. Also WPLR annually has a tent where they provide coffee, donuts, danish, soup etc., along with some good music, at no charge. We will go into the Yale Bowl Field by around 11:30 a.m. to get in our seats.
The Fellowcraft Club will cover $10 of the ticket cost for each Fellowcraft Club member. This event is open to all members of Annawon Lodge and a signicant other, child etc. Anyone that is not a Fellowcraft Club member will have to pay for their own ticket(s), but the Brotherhood shared at the game will be priceless! If you would like to become a member of the Fellowcraft Club please see a Fellowcraft Club officer to fill out an application. Annual dues are only $15 or $1.25/month. This is less than the cost of your morning coffee!

Brothers,
I hope that all is well with each of you as I send out this email.
As you know, each year we send out the annual dues bill at the first of the year, asking for your dues to be paid upon receipt of said bill. As of today, Tuesday 6/27/23, we still have 18 Brothers that are outstanding on their dues. Paying your dues helps Annawon Lodge to meet its financial responsibilities.
It would be appreciated if these 18 Brothers can send their dues check in, made payable to Annawon Lodge #115 A.F. & A.M. If it is within the reach of your cabletow, it would be even better to see you in Lodge and you can pay us via cash or check in person. This way you can enjoy a nice Lodge meeting and get to see the Brothers. We will be having a Fellowcraft Degree on Monday July 10th if you can make it.
Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
Fraternally,
Dennis Frosolone PM
