On September 27th 6:30PM our lodge will initiate several new brothers and elect new lodge officers.  Please ensure your attendance to vote and support new initiates.   RSVP to your invitation from Thursday so we can have an accurate headcount for table setting and food.  If you did not receive an invitation on Thursday, please contact Don Swartz dswartz7@gmail.com

W/B Matt Kurtzman and Br Boris Gremont have both volunteered to serve as lodge president.  Other nominations for this and all roles can be made from the floor.  Any role where more than one candidate stands will be decided by private ballot.  

Lodge will be called to order promptly at 630PM.  Formal attire is required.  Initiation of new candidates and dinner will follow.
