Our first widows luncheon was great. It was not as well attended as I had hoped but the ladies had a good time and that's the important thing. It feels good to reach out to these ladies and let them know they are not forgotten and that we are here for them if they need us. Our next widow/past master event will be a "Coffee & Tea Social". There will be different tea's and finger foods as well as a variety of coffee's for the guys. It should be a fun, elegant afternoon sometime this spring. Watch your mailboxes and email for more information.

The Rainbow's Mystery Dinner was an evening of food, fun, music and of course mystery! The dinner was very well attended and everyone had fun. Best costume prize was awarded to W:. Jim Judovitz and his lovely wife.  The Rainbow Girls actually waited on the tables in poodle skirts and filled the menu orders. They did a fantastic job. Your next opportunity to support the girls will be at the March BBQ where they will be washing cars.

I am putting together the plans for our next big "renovation" project at the lodge. We are going to update Pegram Hall. New paint, new fans, new flooring, repair and resurface the serving counter, etc. Pegram Hall is long overdue for some TLC and I would like to "warm it up". I am working on a rendering of the proposed changes and hope to have copies at our next meeting for your review. All you "handy men" that would like to help be ready.

And, as always, remember, you are a Mason because you asked to be. Take pride in your lodge! Take pride in your masonic affiliations, but most importantly, take pride in yourself! Masonry makes good men better. Be proud in the knowledge that you are a member of one of the oldest fraternities in the world! I hope to see you around the lodge soon.
