Trestleboard, October 2017 Mountain City Lodge No. 67 / Lexington, VA From the East Brethren,             Happy Fall: I hope all is well with all of you. We had a Great (and long) degree night Sept.27th; we raised two brothers to the sublime degree of Master Mason: Br. Eric Osbourne from Mountain City and Br. Christopher Simpkins from Buena Vista.   We had a great turnout of brothers and guests from NC and from England. Also, a great big thanks to Br. Rodney McGee from Lee Lodge, who did an excellent lecture. Our degree team did us proud in front of our guest from across the pond, as they say. I thank all my brothers for a great showing.   This month we will be passing two brothers to the Fellowcraft degree: Br. Alexander Green and Br. Abraham Murphy on October 26th, Thursday at 6:00 pm. I would like to see as good a showing for this degree as for the last: it’s really important for our brothers to see so many lined up when brought to light. We will have practice for the Fellowcraft degree on October 18th Wednesday 7:00 pm.   We also will be voting on expanding the trustees from three members to five members. This is an important vote for the future of the lodge, being it will change the by-laws. Please try to attend so your voice is heard. Br. Eric Osbourne will also be doing his catechisms.   I will be appointing an audit committee for this past year.   We will be going from Summer dress back to jacket and tie this month.   I thank all of my brothers for your help and cooperation in making our lodge strong and effective.                                                                                         GOD BLESS   Fraternally, John J.
