ood morning Brothers!
> Well, I think fall is really here – the weather really cooled off. I’m waiting, however, for an Indian Summer! This Wednesday is our Temple Board meeting at 6pm, and then fellowship afterwards. >
> This Friday (9/19) will be our Traveling Partner Appreciation Night. It was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but had to be postponed. We will meet at Lone Star Steakhouse in Dundee (by Cabelas’s) at 6:30pm. We have the private dining area reserved under my name. Please make every effort to attend – our partners deserve this one day out in appreciation for all they do for us! Please let me know by return email if you are able to attend, so I can get a head count. >
> Hope to see you all there!

> Hello Brothers!
> Well, this week it seems like the fall weather has finally kicked in. Soon, we’ll be knee deep in raking leaves! We will have our first regular communication this Wednesday after being dark for the summer. Dinner at 6pm, and open lodge at 7pm. Be sure to be there – we have lots to discuss! Also, this Saturday is our traveling partner appreciation night – location yet to be determined. I will send out a separate email with that information. >
> See you all on Wednesday!

> Hello Brothers,
> I hope you all had a nice relaxing Labor Day – now it’s almost time for us to return to labor! Tomorrow at 6pm we will have an officer’s meeting to discuss the remainder of the calendar. This Saturday is our monthly Country Breakfast from 7am to 10am – everyone is welcome. Next Wednesday (8/10) we will have our first Regular Communication since being dark for the summer. Also on this night, we will be accepting nominations for Mason of the Year, so be thinking of who is deserving of the honor this year. I hope to see you all soon! >

> Hello Brothers,
> Hope this email finds you all well. If you are looking at our Trestle Board, there is an error. It shows that we resume our Temple Board meetings this Wednesday, but we won’t start those meetings until next month. This Wednesday we will have our usual Fellowship. Sorry I was not able to participate in the Temple cleanup this past Saturday. I was hospitalized with a blood clot in my leg. When they did a cat scan of my lungs, they also found many clots there as well. I’m home now, but have to take it easy for awhile and take blood thinners. >

> Hello brothers,
> Hope you all are doing well as the summer winds down. Just a quick update on me: I had my knee surgery last Tuesday and have been working from home. I finally got out of the house yesterday for the first time and am still having trouble walking – even with a cane (thanks Sam!). I’m working from home still, but hope to get into the office sometime this week. Anyway, not much going on at Lodge this week – our usual fellowship time this Wednesday, and then on Saturday (the 16th) we will have our Temple Cleaning day. We will meet at 3pm to do a thorough cleaning and some maintenance in and around the temple. Please try to be there – many hands will make the work easier! >

> Hello brothers!
> I hope this email finds all of you well and you are enjoying the summer – it’s fast coming to and end. Boy, is it flying by! Please remember Br. Rodney Griner in your thoughts and prayers this week as he is recovering from surgery. He’s had a lot of physical trials lately and we need to support our brother. How about dropping him a line or making a phone call? Also, I will be out of commission for awhile as I am having knee surgery tomorrow to repair a torn meniscus – so much for my globetrotting days! Not much else going on this week, other than fellowship on Wednesday. >

> Greetings from Germany!
> Hopefully, this email finds all my brothers well. I’m in Germany this week on business, so I won’t be at fellowship this week. BUT, remember our Country Breakfast this Saturday from 7-10. Enjoy the summer, Brothers! >

> Hello Brothers!
> I hope you are all enjoying the great summer weather we are having. Myself, WB Gene, and Kenny attended the outdoor degree last Friday at Calder Farms, and it was very good. It turned out to be an EA degree, instead of a MM degree, but was still good. The owner of the farm, John Calder is a Brother at Lincoln Park and we chatted with him quite a while. I told him he was welcome at our lodge anytime. We don’t have much going on in the next couple of weeks, other than Fellowship on Wednesday evenings. >

> Hello brothers,
> Sorry for the late notice, but I found out about this Wednesday at our fellowship, and neglected to send out a mail yesterday. Lincoln Park Lodge will be putting on an outdoor degree at Calder Dairy Farm in Carleton tonight. Dinner at 7pm and degree (3rd) to follow. I hope I have the time right! I’m planning to go, so I hope to see some of you there. >

> Hello Brothers!
> It’s been awhile since I sent out any communication. I’ve been “out of pocket” as they say for 3 weeks. First to Germany, then to Myrtle Beach, then last week to Scout Camp with my son.
> If you have been looking at the Trestle Board, you will have noticed that we have Temple Cleaning this Wednesday, but at the last Temple Board meeting, we decided to change this to Saturday, August 16th. We will still have fellowship every Wednesday throughout the summer weeks though, so come on down for some coffee and maybe a euchre game or two. >
