Trestleboard, July 2018 Mountain City Lodge No. 67 - Lexington, Virginia From the East Brethren,   First of all, a big thank you to all the Brethren who helped with the July 4th Hot Dog extravaganza following the Children’s Bike Parade. In attendance were: Bros. Mulligan, Glaspey, Wagner, Fellows, Jeff and Matt Jackson, and myself. Making cameo appearances were Bros. Lyons, Southers and Glisson, and representing the Shrine Club were Bro. Gary Butler and Bro. Ed Litchford, and Shrine Clowns Jimmy and 3-Putt were a huge hit!!! Thanks to Bro. John Dester for doing the buying. If I have forgotten anyone… and I’m sure I have…. My sincere apologies and your contributions are not overlooked!!!!!!   We gave out about 250 hot dogs, 300 juice boxes, and about 30 bottles of water. Our tip jar collected $71 for the Scholarship Fund. We again gained the Lodge some great PR and publicity. This is a really nice event to be involved with and my own feeling is we should do more of these if given the chance.   Degrees… we have several degrees to confer over the next few months, so I’m renewing my appeals for Brethren to step up and learn parts for the various degrees – the Master Mason 2nd part in particular.    I’m also happy to say our tip jar brought in $71 for our scholarship fund.   Hoping everyone is enjoying their summer, especially since the weather has broken at least a bit. If you’re traveling, and please keep our sick and distressed Brethren in our thoughts and prayers.   Fraternally,   John Morman Worshipful Master 2018 Mile of Pennies Fundraiser Do you know how many pennies make a mile? A total of 84,480 pennies side-by-side make a length of one mile, and that translate into $844.80 for the Masonic Home of Virginia's Outreach Program. So can we have your used pennies? Bring cash, coin, or check to next Stated Communication. Officers Master - Wor. John William Morman S.W. - Br. Brent W. Fellows J.W. - Wor. John J. Mulligan Secretary - R.W.
