| Hello All, The Annawon Lodge #115 A.F & A.M. Fellowcraft Club will be going to our annual Yale Football game on Saturday November 16th vs. Princeton. We will meet in the Lodge parking lot at 263 Center Street between 9:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. we will caravan to Yale Field where we will tailgate until around 11:30 a.m. and then head into the game for its start at 12:00 p.m. The first $10 of the ticket cost will be covered by the Fellowcraft Club for all Fellowcraft Club Members. You are still welcome to come to the game if you are not a Fellowcraft Club Member. Wives, girlfriends, brothers, sisters, children etc. are also welcome. We like this to be a relaxing family affair. Tickets will be purchased when we enter Yale Bowl. Any Masonic Brothers can become a member of the Fellowcraft Club by paying the $15 annual dues. This is only $1.25 per month- way less than the cost of one Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks coffee! This is a great event for Brotherhood, Friendship and Comradery that the Annawon Lodge Fellowcraft Club has been having for a couple of decades. Please contact Dennis Frosolone to let us know that you would like to come to the game, along with who you will be bringing. We look forward to seeing many of you at this game. GO BULLDOGS!!!

We want to keep track of who is bringing what so that we have as much variety as possible. We will do our best to keep you updated on what we know is already being brought so that we avoid duplication. Last but not least, we need volunteers for the grill, setup and cleanup. Our grill masters and Fellowcraft Club Officers are great at what they do, but they need breaks so they can have some time with their families and the Brothers. Please reply to this email or call myself at (203) 233-2328 or Worshipful Master Joey McVety at (203) 627-7262 to let us know what food items you will be bringing and if you will volunteer to help.

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
