Week of June 20, 2011
Bob C Photo Greetings!

This week our photo above was sent to me by Paul Brown, Worshipful Master of Genessee Lodge # 174.  Genessee lodge gave away 4 bikes to some well deserving kids at Elms Road Elementary School.  Great job brothers and keep up the good work.  Speaking of Bikes for Books, below I've included a link to the ABC 12 news program in Mid Michigan that highlighted Mt. Morris Lodge and their Bikes for Books program and giveaway.  Again, just a fantastic job of making an impact in our community.  And it proves that we can get some darn good press when we do, darn good stuff! 

We've also started a new motivation clip below.  You'll be able to view a new video each week by clicking on the link below.  This week Zig Ziglar talks to us about the pump needing to be primed.  Hope you find it enjoyable.

We're also looking for all of you who are or were Lodge Education Officers.  See the article below and click on the link to assist us in locating you.

There are a couple of golf outings coming up.  If your lodge or group is hosting one, let me know and I'll get it in the e-news for next week.

As always, Poets Corner, Weekly Motivations and the Masonic Challenge are included. 

Have a great week, we'll see you down the road!

God Bless,
Bob
