| Good afternoon, Brethren and Friends! We hope everyone has been enjoying the beautiful summer and mixture of rain, sunshine, and weather that has immensely benefited our lawns, gardens, and environment in general! We are now five (5) days away from our “Work Hard, Play Hard” event which is an amazing time for not only fellowship, but time for our families, friends, and prospects to enjoy the beautiful summer and practice charity together. We have an almost finalized list as of today (Monday, July 21st 5:15 PM) which is listed below. That being said, I do have until WEDNESDAY before contacting our contact from the Boat Cruise, so please feel free to email to chrisfarzad@gmail.com or a text to 305-923-8321 with the number of people you’d like to RSVP for each of the events. This includes yourself (obviously), any family, children (please designated they are children on the email or text), Brethren and guests from other Lodges, neighbors, or whomever as it is open to the public. The festivities will begin this Saturday, July 26th with our charitable work at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan (990 Lone Oak Road, Suite 136 Eagan MN 55121) from 9:30 AM to 11:15 AM (large parking lot in the complex, plenty of parking). Our Paddleford Boat Cruise will begin at 2:30 PM (boarding starts at 2:00 PM). This is located at Harriet Island Regional Park (205 Dr Justus Ohage Blvd, St Paul, MN 55107) and will be $21 per person, collected at the event site previous to the boat launch. They do also have a parking lot which is a paid lot, but very reasonable, and plenty of other parking around. The time between FSMC and the Boat Cruise will give us plenty of time enjoy more time together at a lunch place which will be coordinated by those of us who are at FMSC. If you are not able to attend FMSC and/or the Boat Cruise and still would like to meet us for lunch, please reach out to find where the rendezvous point is at so you can join us with your families and friends. |
| If I spoke to you in passing, somehow missed your email/text, or anything else, PLEASE PLEASE do not hesitate to RSVP or call me and do not think it's too late. With FMSC, I do have 20 spots reserved for us and with the Boat Cruise, our contact there is very flexible, so even if you are fairly sure you can make it (but not positive), still please reach out and RSVP. Even if it's after Wednesday, I plan on grabbing a few extra tickets anyway or will speak to Paddleford about the feasibility of additional tickets being available that day so I am better prepared ot advise if anyone calls last minute. The list I have is as follows (this does NOT include the Brethren/guests who confirmed they will be there for FMSC and ONLY the ones who confirmed the Boat Cruise): Zachary Bohlman Jason LaVoi Sunny LaVoi Jake Reimer Tina Reimer Marlon Castillo Doug Emery Lynn Emery Chris Farzad |
| For anyone that is not sure if they are added to FMSC or wish to add themselves, please feel free to call or text me to verify. I did text the entire Officer line this last weekend plus the majority of members I believe would be or could be interested, so the list I have with the charity should be accurate as everyone texted me back (some said they would let me know if anything changed or they decided they can make it). You are also able to use this link if you'd like to add yourself: https://user.kindly.org/joingroup/5c8ef9e06d8a4324a572f683c9943882/d0688a6f835048daa9eafcb6328aa107//linkShare We hope to see as many of you as we can. It was great to see so many of you at our Fun Night, the Waffle Breakfast turned out AMAZING, and we hope to continue these wonderful ongoing traditions that have been planted and continued by Past Masters, Current Masters, and Brethren! Much Brotherly Love, Sincerely, and Fraternally, |

| Brethren, My apologies for my late notice, but I wanted to remind you of the Annual Memorial Day Service at Corinthian Cemetery at 10:00 AM on Memorial Day. Many of you have attended in the past, and I invite you to attend again this year. If you have never attended this event, I encourage you to do so, it is a beautiful service hosted by the Farmington VFW, Farmington Legion, and the Farmington Yellow Ribbon. Also, if you are able, we will be meeting at the Cemetery at 10:00 AM on Friday, 23 May, to assist in marking the burial sites of our brethren and the veterans buried in our cemetery. We will again be meeting to remove the markers at 10:00 AM on Tuesday 27 May to remove the markers and tidy up the grounds. Anyone is welcome to any of these events. It is a great way to show off a portion of what we have contributed to the City of Farmington for over 100 years! Please wear your lodge polo (if you have one) to let the other guests know that we are still here and that we are still relevant! The schedule is as follows: 10:00 AM Friday, 23 May - Set up markers 10:00 AM Monday, 26 May - Memorial Day Service 10:00 AM Tuesday, 27 May - Clean up I sincerely hope to see you there. Clint |

| Greetings and Happy Sunday! I would love to see as many of you as possible at our upcoming communication this Tuesday, October 15th. As usual, we will have dinner at 6:30. This Tuesday's dinner will be walking tacos provided by Bethel 88 of Jobs Daughters. All proceeds for dinner will benefit Bethel 88 and this will help us continue to build our relationship with them that we have been working toward in the past few years. We will open Lodge at our usual time of 7:30 PM. At this meeting, our education will be provided by Brother John Schwietz of Minnesota Masonic Charities. He will be speaking on the "Civility School," which was discussed at the South Area Conference last weekend in St. Peter. The Civility School could be a fun way for us to build better bonds with the community. Our own Junior Warden described it as "The elevator speech that Masonry needs right now." John is an entertaining and educated speaker. I hope that everyone can make every effort to be there. As usual, I will place the education toward the beginning of the meeting in case anyone needs to leave early. If you have any other topics that you would like to add to the agenda, please let me know at ntimrjason@gmail.com or feel free to call me at 507-339-2747.

A Message from the Chaplain Re: CHARITY
Brothers- I have not forgotten however I was reminded by W.B. Jerry in
his comments at our Table Lodge that Charity and taking care of others
is important. We learn about the tenants of our craft during the
Entered Apprentice degree and continue learning. Our many Obligations
reinforce our commitment, We should always reflect. I try to provide a
gentle reminder in many of my Prayers suggesting that we be thankful
and sharing.
Minnesota Masonic Charities (MMC) is an important entity of our Craft
in MN. They fund many programs included and not limited to Our Cancer
and Children’s Hospital. MMC has many programs that help the Masonic
family and communities.
I would like you all to be aware that we provide Scholarships to our
members Children and students at Farmington H.S. each year. Fifty
percent of the funds are provided to us by MMC each year.
If you so choose you can donate to MMC directly and online. You can
also consider our Lodge Scholarship fund. You can interact with David
Orsi or Joe. If you donate a memorial to MMC they will send out a nice
card noting your donation. It can be in the memory of any person not
just Masonic related.
Thank you for considering our important Charity. W.B. Clint and I can
answer any questions.
Hope to see you soon.
Rich Waldie

Brothers,
Greetings from Corinthian Lodge! I hope this summer finds you all in good health and well-being. I am sending out this email as I am standing up a new committee. Our lodge is booming with activity, camradeire, and eagerness to serve. As we grow, it will take a team to plan, coordinate, gain RSVPs, and promote activities that we do as a lodge, both inside and outside of the building. Therefore, I am standing up a "Event/Social Committee" which will be chaired by the Junior Warden. This committee will plan, coordinate, and promote lodge activities. This committee can also field ideas from the brethren and better look into those ideas/events. They can also work in conjunction with many other committees, such as helping to promote and assist in the hard work of our Table Lodge Committee, or can work with our cyber/promotion committee to have that team promote an event, and/or work with our stewards to create fun, enjoyable, and memorable events/work for our bretheren. Additionally, this committee will be a point of continuity between the changing of officers/terms, as some officers may be more comfortable/experienced in event planning and others may not be. This will hopefully allow for fun events year after year with those who enjoy planning events assisting and mentoring those brothers with less experience in this area.
IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN SERVING ON THIS COMMITTEE, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT ROSS.JOHNSON2@GMAIL.COM OR TEXT ME AT (507) 369-4753.
I look forward to seeing you all in the fall when we dust off the square and compass.
Fraternally,
Ross Johnson, Worshipful Master, Corinthian Ladge #67 A.F. & A.M.

Brothers,
Thank you to those who have responded to my previous email. THE CHARITY/BOAT TOUR WILL CONTINUE AS PLANNED ON JULY 29th!!!
I am so excited with some of the responses from some of the brothers who are attending! Some I have not seen in the Lodge for quite some time and I am so happy to build some relationships with more of our Brothers in the Lodge, their families, and friends.
Information on the two events is listed below:
Who: Anyone. Please bring your families, kids, spouses/partners, friends, whoever. This charity work is able to be done by most ages and abilities.
What: "Work Hard, Play Hard!" Summer event day (Feed My Starving Children / Paddleford Boat Tours)
When: July 29th, 2023 / Feed My Starving Children in Eagan - 9 AM to 10:45 AM. followed by Padelford Riverboats in Saint Paul - 2 PM to 4:30 PM.
Cost: $15 per person for the boat tour. This can be paid to the Lodge as we already have tickets purchased. The charity work has no cost, only your time.
Where: Feed My Starving Children - 990 Lone Oak Rd #136, Eagan, MN 55121 / Paddleford Boats - 205 Dr Justus Ohage Blvd, St Paul, MN 55107
Why: To do some charitable work as well and reward ourselves afterward with some fraternal/family time together in a scenic environment.
Continue to RSVP if you haven't already for both of the events so I can adjust upward or downward, especially for Feed My Starving Children so I can get more or give back work slots
RSVP to ROSS.JOHNSON2@GMAIL.COM or JKIVENS@HOTMAIL.COM
Lunch in between events is completey up to the group that day.
We can also continue the fellowship after the boat cruise on 7th Street in St. Paul if anyone so desires.
CHARITY IS THE CEMENT THAT BINDS OUR FRATERNITY TOGETHER, AND THE CHEERFUL AND HUMBLE PERFORMANCE OF CHARITABLE ACTS IS THE CORNERSTONE UPON WHICH WE BUILD OUR LEGACY
Fraternally,
Ross Johnson
Worshipful Master, Corinthian Lodge #67 A.F. & A.M.

As you may have seen in Brother Orsi's previous email, we are trying to set up a charity/recreation day where, as Masons, we can do some good work and then spend time together with each other, our families, and friends. WB Zach had done Feed My Starving Children last summer and it was very well received. A few years ago before COVID, a paddleboat tour was done which was also well received. So we thought, why not combine the two and do some good work and then have some fun together?
Originally, Brother Orsi and I had scheduled charity work with Feed My Starving Children in Eagan. For those not familiar with this charity work, it is fun and easy. It is working to prepare small meal kits for starving kids in third world countries, mainly Central America. It invloves spooning rice or other food into a funnel with a bag underneath, and some packaging. Any age or physical ability can participate, which makes it very inclusive to all interested.
The recreation part is a boat tour in St. Paul with Paddleford Boats. A group rate of 25 or more persons allows a ticket to be only $15 a person.
We had scheduled this for July 29th, with charity work in Eagan going from 9:00 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. and then the boat tour in St. Paul from 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. with a lunch break where we could meet somewhere as an option. However, we currently only have five people who have committed to attending. Before cancelling and rescheduling, I am asking for anyone who wanted to go on July 29th, to email myself at Ross.Johnson2@gmail.com so I can get an accurate count. If you want to attend but have a conflict, please let me know a different date that works better for you and your family. While I cannot accomodate every brother, I am sure I can get a better idea of a date most can make happen.
Again, this event is for anyone. Families, friends, neighbors, other Masons from other Lodges, prospects, etc. I just need a better count and your response is needed if you have any input regarding July 29th or a different date.
Thank you for your attention and hopefully response to this event.
Fraternally,
Ross Johnson

Greetings Brothers!
Summer weather and the month of June are upon us. Hopefully for you it brings about thoughts of our annual Waffle Breakfast fundraiser on Saturday, June 24 at the Farmington Rambling River Center.
As in years past, we need all the help we can get with setup, beverage service, cleanup, and general assistance with the caterer, Dads Waffles of Iowa.
Don't forget to buy your tickets and bring the whole family for waffles!
We would like to get a rough estimate for the number of brothers and family members that can help setup that Saturday morning.
Please RSVP to WB Joe Kivens or myself if you CAN help.
Thank you!
JW David
Brothers,
A quick remimder about the activity at the cemetery. We will be meeting this Friday at 10 am for setup. We will meet on Monday at 10 am for the ceremony. We will meet at 10 am on Tuesday for cleanup. Please consider wearing a Masonic shirt to help identify yourself as a Mason. Many hands make light work. If you have any questions reach out to myself or WB Clint.
Thank you

RSVP to me (Joe Kivens) at 952-994-9808 or jkivens@hotmail.com.
Brother Rich will be sponsoring the dinner for the evening so instead of a meal cost, Brother Rich asks for you to make a donation to the Corinthian Lodge Scholarship fund.
Any questions, please let me know.
Joe
Brothers,
Just a reminder that tonight we have our tradition of dispensation for the Lyndhurst Turkey Dinner so no stated meeting tonight. Next stated meeting is May 2nd for Brother Rich Waldie's 50 year award and dinner otherwise I'll see you all at Table Lodge this Saturday!

I have created the batch for dues posting to your account. You can proceed with paying online if you desire. I will still take cash or check at the Lodge. If you are going to use an electronic payment I would prefer that you do that through Grandview.
Thank you, Joe
