Trestleboard: September 2020
Mountain City Lodge No. 67 - Lexington, Virginia
From the East

Brethren,

As we move into Labor Day weekend I hope everyone enjoys some refreshment. (See what I did there?). Joking aside, I want to remind everyone that our stated meeting is Tuesday, not Monday as that is Labor Day. On Tuesday, we are having a Joint Communication with Buena Vista Lodge as the calendar aligns both of our Stated Meetings. 
 
The Grand Lodge has scheduled One Day Conferrals across the state. Mountain City will be hosting for the District on Saturday, October 3. I am happy to report that we have seven candidates and Buena Vista has three. There are strict guidelines for the conferral and we are limited to only having members attend that have assigned roles.
 
Attendance has been good at our Stated Meetings in July and August as we continue to meet the guidelines set forth by the Grand Lodge. Consider joining us for dinner in the Palms restaurant at 6pm as we are not allowed to serve meals in the Lodge dining hall. We will save a spot for you! Check out our ongoing renovations, the Lodge looks amazing!
 
Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday!

Fraternally,
Lodge Renovations
As many of you know, Mountain City was fortunate to utilize our time of absence due to COVID-19 to complete some renovations in the Lodge and Fellowship Hall. Here are a few sneak-peak photos, but we hope you are excited to see them in person. 
One-Day Conferral
Saturday, October 3rd
Attendance limited to only those directly involved. 

 
With COVID-19 preventing new brothers from being brought to Light in our current process, the Grand Master has approved for one-day conferrals of all three degrees throughout the Commonwealth, but with strict safety and educational requirements. Mountain City will host the one-day conferral for our district on Saturday, October 3rd with nearly a dozen candidates from multiple lodges. DDGM Lyons and RW Boatwright have been working to coordinate the conferral. While attendance is limited to those directly involved, we hope you are excited to add more brothers to the roll of the Craft. 
York Rite Updates
Moomaw Commandery of Knights Templar No. 27
Rockbridge Royal Arch Chapter No. 44

 
The Companions of Rockbridge Chapter No. 44 and the Sir Knights of Moomaw Commandery No. 27 are returning to holding meetings on our regular schedule with our first meeting back on Monday, September 21st.

Please contact the Secretary for both groups, Brent Buswell, if you are interested in these organizations.
Joke from Jack
The Little Girl and the Wittle Wabbit

A little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp: "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep wittle wabbits?"

And the shopkeeper gets down on his knees, so that he's on her level, and asks: "Do you want a wittle white wabby or a soft and fuwwy bwack wabby or maybe one like that cute wittle bwown wabby over there?"

The little girl puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice: "I don't fink my pyfon really giveths a thit."
