Brothers, Just a few items to discuss while attempting to use the new Grand Lodge system for Newsletters. If this works successfully, the Trestle Board will be back monthly. Outgoing Worshipful Master of WS 26 Jon Asplund has requested I make a plea for someone to step forward and take the 2-4 PM bell ringing shift at Bongards in Albert Lea for the Lodges Annual Jake Loper bell ringing matching funds drive. Regrettably the brother who signed up for this shift cannot do it. Please contact Jon directly at 320-828-1434. Thanks in advance for your support. Next item is we have our annual elections at 7 pm the 10th of December. Such an important event will certainly bring all our local brothers into Lodge for Brotherly Love and Fellowship and to help us to elect the line of leadership destined to guide us to the light during the year of our Lord 2025. Looking forward to seeing you all there. With the notification of elections fresh in your minds, please mark down on your calendar the Installation of Officers will occur on the 4th of January. We will kick off this auspicious event with a Brunch for Brothers and families. The festivities will commence at 10:00 a.m., with the installation immediately after at 11 a.m. Truly an event you don't want to miss. Bring your fellowship, loved ones and empty bellies. Please RSVP to incoming Worshipful Master John Winter at 507-438-7777 by Dec 31st so catering staff won't run short thus sending people away dissatisfied, harmony and support being the strength of all societies. For any of you unable to attend the afore mentioned events listed in this important communication, I feel safe speaking on behalf of the entire lodge wishing you the merriest of Christmases, and the happiest of New Years. Respectfully your humble servant, Brian Vairma, Secretary Western Star #26 |
