May 2015 Weekly Update

Hello Brothers,

I hope everyone enjoyed a great weekend with family, friends and good food. I sure did. Got back last night so today I’m doing the weekly Monroe address.

This week (actually tomorrow) Wednesday, May 27 at 7pm we will proudly bring 2 candidates into Masonry. It’s always exciting doing degree work. I enjoy it and I know my Officers do as well. I hope everyone calls a Brother and brings him down tomorrow for a fantastic night of degree work and fellowship.

Looking to the future by a few weeks, mark your calendar for the night of Saturday, June 13 starting at 6pm we will have dinner and entertainment for the Widow’s of Monroe Lodge 27. It is always a pleasure to have these ladies at lodge and share an evening with them. Most of their husbands were Worshipful Master at one time. It will, once again, be a great night.

Put some aloe on those sunburns and dust off those ties, tomorrow night we go to work.

I will see you there Brothers!

Fraternally,

May 2015 Weekly Updates

Hello Brothers,

I just want to start out by thanking Monroe 27’s delegate for being at the Grand lodge session today. As committed as we all try to be, family matters do need attended to.

I also want to thank our tech specialist at CainTech Services for quickly attending to my ailing computer and getting me back up and running. Should be smooth sailing from here on out.

This week at Monroe is fellowship on Wednesday, May 20th. The following week we will perform 2 Entered Apprentice degrees on Wednesday, May 27th starting at 7pm. Highly looking forward to bringing these 2 gentlemen into the Fraternity of Masonry.

I hope everyone is doing well, enjoying this weather and staying safe. I will see you all at Lodge!

May 2015 Monday Updates

Brothers,

I hope everyone enjoyed the weather this past weekend. This was our gift for all that cold we endured the last 11 months! (it felt that long to me)

This week Wednesday, May 6th at 6:30pm Monroe Lodge will host a “Bragging Rights” Euchre Tournament. There is no entry fee, no grand prize, just Bragging Rights.

This is open to all players. There is no pressure on whether you’re “good enough”, “too good” or “not allowed back to Vegas”. Come on in for a good time and bring a traveling partner with you. This is a great chance to grab your wife, neighbor or anyone who likes to play Euchre.

Next week Wednesday, May 13th at 7pm is our Regular Communication. Dinner starts at 6pm, make sure you put your name on the list if you’re going to sit down to eat, officers bring a dessert.

I hope you all have a great week and I will see you Wednesday at lodge.

March 2015 Monday Updates

Hello Brothers!

Hope you all have everything strapped down these last few days, if not it’s more than likely down the road somewhere. I found my big bar-b-que grill twisted up 25 feet from where it was last used on my deck. It’s a Picasso now.

On top of that I have strep throat so I will not be at lodge this week. I do not want to pass this along. With that said, practice for this week will be cancelled. But please, study the book and brush up on ritual for our degree coming up on the 18th.

Wednesday April 1st will be a Fellowship Night. Enjoy some Euchre and fun down at the lodge.

Saturday April 4th is our Country Breakfast from 7am to 10am. Can you smell the gravy yet?……I can!

This Sunday is Easter and I wish everyone and your family a happy and safe holiday weekend. Be careful in your travels.

Wednesday April 11 is our Business Meeting at 7pm. Dinner will start at 6pm.

I will see you all once I’m back on the healthy list.

Fraternally,
Brian Fauls
