Words from the East

Ladies and Brethren,
Congratulations to OES Chapter 114 on the fantastic turnout for their reception for Grand Officers. Estimates of attendance range from 300 to 350. Those who attended all had a great sense of Masonic celebration.

From the Secretary

Well, the reduced hours didn't work, so, I admit, I am here every morning. I open the doors between 9-9:30, after I get the mail and then I'm here until noon during the week and 11 AM on Saturday. I brew coffee Mon, Wed & Fri., but it is only a half pot, because if somebody didn't help me drink it, I was drinking too much. But even with half a pot, I've got plenty to share.

Due to the many activities pending at the Papillion Masonic Center in the following weeks, the Annual Pilgrimage to the Nebraska Masonic Home has been rescheduled.
All who are interested in this activity are cordially invited to join the group for a delicious supper, reports on the progress of the expansion plans and a question and answer session where you can learn about the normal operation of the home.
There is no charge for this delightful evening but a free will offering would be appropriate.
