Brethren,

Please see link below for our updated rental calendar.  If you would like to rent the Lodge or know someone who does, please have them contact the WM or Secretary, as stated in our bylaws. As long as the rental is for dining hall usage only, then we don't need to bring a discussion or vote. 

On the link you will see tabs for 2024 and 2025. I'll be updating the 2025 tab more as we move into the Fall. For now, we only have dates held for DAR in 2025. For those who are interested, this is setup as a shared google spreadsheet. Using the link is just fine or you can download and use the google sheets app. Please search "google sheets" in the app store of your provider (IOS or android). You can also save the link below your favourites bar on your browser.

I'm glad to send the news that our lodge scrolls our now framed and at the Lodge! See attached photos.

Some of you may know based on prior minutes and some may not; Bro Terry Parker found these in the top of a building in Four Oaks in what is believed to be the old Four Oaks Mason Lodge. We dated these at over 100 years old. The Lodge voted to preserve these and have them framed, a cost volunteered to be donated by Bro Terry Parker himself. Bro Grover Dees and myself also decided to split the costs with Bro Terry after we got an estimate higher than anticipated. 

The framed scrolls are on the back table in the dining hall. We'll be working to decide where to hand these on display for all to see. Many thanks to Arthur and Art Watkins at Watkins frame shop for the quality work!
