 Denton No. 404 Grand Lodge Of North Carolina, A.F. & A.M. |
| Good Day Brother Our lodge has a number of things coming up in the next month or so. I encourage you to try to help out the lodge when and how you can. Remember, the lodge has to count on every brother to continue to exist. We are one of the smallest lodges in the state. NEW APRONS & CHAIRS (reupholstered) We have ordered new officer aprons. The ones we have used for years are frazzled. Many brothers have contributed to pay for the aprons and any money left over will be used to pay to recover the officers chairs. CHARITY Our lodge will be making a contribution to our two charities before the start of the new year. Please consider making a donation to support our Masonic Home for Children and The Masonic and Eastern Star Home fund. DUES Due to rising costs and a low number of members, we had to raise dues to pay the lodge bills. This year's dues are $186 ( $150 for the lodge and $36 per capita ). I know none of us like to pay out more but consider that for about $15 per month you will remain a member of the best fraternity in the world. You can mail your check to PO Box 673 OR you can make an online payment through Grand View. Just please be sure to send notes as to how you wish your contribution to be used. UPCOMING EVENTS : December 6 - Denton Christmas Parade. Our lodge will have a float to be in the parade. Come meet at the lodge at 11:00 and join with your brothers. Coat and Tie recommended. December 13 - 2:00 to 6:00 Open house and free hot dog dinner at the lodge. Come join your brothers and more importantly, invite any of your friends that might be interested in the lodge. We are trying to be more visible in the community and attract prospective members. December 15 6:30 PM Dessert Auction benefiting South Davidson Family Resource Center. This is a big event every year and well attended by the community. Soup and Sandwiches at 6:30 followed by the auction. If you have a special dessert, please bring in and let us auction it to raise money for the SDFRC. Or just come and bid on someone else's dessert. January 3 5:30 PM Meal followed by open installation of officers. Come support incoming Master Donnie Small and all the officers for the coming year. Thank you for your support of our lodge. I wish you a safe holiday and a Merry Christmas. Kirby Matthews Secretary |
