At our meeting on December 1st we will review those who have not paid their 2009 dues and determine if they should be suspended on December 27th or put on the Emeritus list.
This will be a vote of the craft. My office has sent out notices on June 1st, 1 July 1st and in about all the T/B’s since then.
If you cannot pay the dues prior to 27 December 27th and want to avoid suspension, notify the Worshipful Master or myself and we will review your request.

Due to changes in the elementary school system, we will not host the large holiday party this year because of economical problems for the parents and the school. We will however treat the 3 and 4 year olds’ to a gift and food treat at the school.

This is my last message as your Secretary as I am stepping down after about 14 years for personal and health reasons. We are in luck, however, as Brother Hobie Fisher, is stepping into the office if elected on 1 December. He is very capable, good administrative background and handling finances, etc. I will continue to support him in this matter as long as he desires my assistance. Lois and I thank you all for your  friendship and kindness over the years. God Bless all of you.

Worshipful John E. Bukoski, Secretary
