My Brothers,

     And God said “Let there be light, and there was light”…Welcome back as we move from the darkness of July and August to the light of September.  We have had the privilege of raising five new brothers to the degree of Master Mason over the past six months and are staring at the prospect of raising three new brothers this coming fall.

     Thanks to all the brothers who were instrumental in putting on our degrees and programs for the first half of the year.  The summer picnic was very well attended and I hope a good time was had by all.  Our work through December should be very busy and I am looking forward to seeing all of you as work toward the end of 2008.  

     Please keep in your prayers the family of Mike Brescia and his wife Sue Maturlo.  Mike, who was a Past Master (1994) passed away peacefully at their home on August 15, 2008

     God Bless you and you families.

                                                                               Fraternally,

                                                                               William Knipple, Jr.
