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

Brethren,
          For those of you who missed our annual picnic, a good time was had by all.   We had approximately 25 people who enjoyed the good weather, the good food, more gifts than could be counted, and as always-great fellowship.   We were delighted to see our JD Frank Cherry who attended with his wife and his brother, Bob.   As you are aware, Bob, has been seriously ill for the past several months, but his progress is continuing greatly.
          Condolences are extended to Brother Sidney Cole and his family, on the loss of his wife, Wilma.

                                                                      Faternally,
                                                                      Gene Major, WM

 

 

 
Do you really read your Digest, or is it just another piece of 'Junk Mail' that is received, but not really wanted?   We still have not received the information requested in the May Digest from many of our members.   If no more read the Digest than those who responded, this year may be the last of our Digests!   What is your position on the Digest?   Is it worth the effort and money?
 
 

 

We are sorry to report the death of the wife of one of our members.   Mrs. Wilma Cole, wife of Brother Sidney Cole passed away in June.   The Lodge extends our sympathies to Brother Cole and his family.
 

 

Degree work for DeSoto is progressing right along this year.   We have had more degrees during the first six months than we have had in several years, and hopefully the trend will continue.   We have raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason, several Brothers who have shown interest in the continued work of the Lodge.   Welcome, Brothers.
 

 

Saturday, June 16, 2001, DeSoto Lodge hosted our annual Family Picnic.   We did not have the number present that we would have liked, but everyone who attended left with plenty of prizes and no one left hungry.
 

 

 
Don't forget our sick and shut-in Brothers and their families, and make personal contact if you can.
