A MESSAGE FROM...
� OUR WORSHIPFUL MASTER...

Brethren,

� � � DeSoto Lodge is growing in membership!
� � � In our first month of 2001, we were off to a good start, having passed four fellow craft. � They were Aubrey Stoddard, Jon Stoddard, Tim Cook, Jr and Kelly DeCrow, Jr. � February will be busy as well, with 5 EA Degrees scheduled as well as two Master Masons Degrees. � Two of the EA Degrees will be conferred on Thursday, February 8, and the other three will be conferred on Saturday, February 17. � Breakfast will be served on the 17th at 8:00 AM and the Degrees will follow.
� � � The renewed interest in Freemasonry is not by accident. � Through the lives and actions of our fellow brethren, we are like a billboard on a busy throughfare. � How we look, what we say and by example, we leave an impression. � What a great testimony to masonry, that someone would want to be like you. � Keep up the good work!

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Faternally,
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Gene Major, WM
