Since we’re going dark (skipping our business meetings) for July and August, we had a very informal Officer’s Meeting. We discussed the upcoming summer events including our 4th of July BBQ and a possible outing to go minigolfing!
We had a lively and enjoyable meeting in the second week of June. Our stated was pushed back to accommodate the Grand Lodge Annual Communication. We had a vote to increase our dues and lifetime membership fee which passed unanimously. We also discussed our summer programming including our plan to have our 4th of July celebration the first weekend of July. Most importantly, our Brother Entered Apprentice Burgos gave his proficiency for the EA degree tonight and passed with flying colors. We will hopefully be looking to perform his FC degree next month.
Our Worshipful Master Patrick, Senior Warden Kevin, Secretary Jim, and Tyler Jimmie all took a little journey over to Pendleton to attend the Grand Lodge Annual Communication. We stayed in the Red Lion Inn, and had a spirited time enjoying some Fellowship with each other, and with the Brothers of Oregon. WB Patrick was lucky enough that when all the WMs of Oregon were called up to the front to be honored, he got to stand front and center! While the Grand Lodge meals are delicious, we opted for a lovely Steak Dinner at Cimmiyotti’s. There were lots of speeches made, issues discussed, and resolutions voted on. After it was all said and done, we made a report to the Lodge on Slack, and I’m sure we will discuss the transpirings next week as well.
