Our month starts out with a bang: Mountain City will be honored with a visit from Most Worshipful Vernon Stuart Cook, Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, at our stated meeting April 3rd. He will be presented in due form as this is an official visit. I will expect all active and able-bodied Brothers to be there for a good showing for our Lodge, and of respect for our Grand Master. I would like to thank RW. Joe Boatwright for all his help in getting all our officers and myself up to speed on the ritual and presentation – and the officers who have given up the time to come to extra practices to get the ritual correct. I would also like to thank W. Scott Cassell and W. Jesse Lyons who answered my call for help to clean OUR Lodge and have it shipshape for the GM. visit.    We will be conferring the degree of MM on three brothers this month: April 20th 6:00 pm for Br. Steven McNeil and Br.Thomas Wagner, & April 27th 6:00 pm for Br. John Brandt. Practice will be held April 19th 7:00 pm & April 26th 7:00 pm. Please try to make these degrees to show our Brothers support. On the fun side, I recently came across an old Nordic riddle: There were two starving wolves, one white who represented light, and one black who represented darkness. Which one will survive? Tell me at the meeting.     God Bless! Fraternally,  John J. Mulligan WM  Officers   Master - Wor. John J. Mulligan S.W. - Br. John William Morman J.W. - Br. Roger Arlyn Jarrell II S.D. - Br.
