As is customary, the annual Past Masters’ Night will be held on the third Thursday of November, which will be November 20. Dinner will be prepared by the Eastern Star and served at 6:30 p.m. Lodge will be opened at 7:30 on the First Degree for a Stated Communication, with Past Masters filling the chairs. All Masons are invited to attend and help us honor our Past Masters for their service to the Fraternity. Reservations are not required.
In addition, we have scheduled First Degree work for the evening. The candidate is Mr. Perry Flatgard of Windom. Perry works for Cottonwood County.

Eagles Club. About 375 people were

Dues are Due
Most of you will find a blue envelope included with this newsletter and a dues statement at the bottom. That is because it is time once again to pay dues for the upcoming year. Please return your check as soon as possible, and consider adding a little something extra for the Masonic Service Association Vets Hospital Visitation Program.
