This week at Monroe 27 December 8th 2014

>
> Hello Brothers!
> This Wednesday (12/10) will be the final business meeting of the year – dinner at 6pm and open at 7pm. Then this Saturday (12/13) we will have our annual Installation of Officers (public) at 6pm, with a dinner to follow. You should have all gotten an invitation from SW Brian. Also, don’t forget that a week from Friday (12/19) will be our Lodge Christmas Party. I have it good authority that we will have a certain visitor from the North Pole 🙂 >
> This will be my last email to you as Worshipful Master. I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank all my officers, past masters, and loyal regular members for all your help and support throughout the year. I could not have done this job without the total support of my lodge. I encourage you to give Brother Brian the same support that was afforded me. It has been a truly wonderful experience, and one which I will treasure for the rest of my life. You won’t be getting rid of me though – I plan on staying active and supporting the future officers of Monroe Lodge #27 for many years to come! >
