Brethren,

With only one Lodge meeting in January, one would think that this would have been a slow month with not much going on in the Lodge, but this was not the case.  The 9^th District School of Instruction was held at Norcross Lodge on three Wednesday nights, the Grand Master’s Forum was held in Gainesville on another Wednesday night, the Masters Workshop was held Saturday, January 20^th, at the Masonic Temple in downtown Atlanta, (OUR LODGE WAS WELL REPRESENTED AT ALL THESE FUNCTIONS) and the Masters Degree was conferred to four candidates at a called communication on Saturday, January 27.

 If you have not received your tickets for our Bar-B-Que on Saturday, March 24^th, and the registration forms for our 6^th Annual Golf Tournament, to be held on April 14^th, you will very soon.  These two events are our biggest fundraisers of the year and have a huge impact on the scholarships and charity work that our Lodge has committed to, so please make plans to sell as many Bar-B-Que tickets to all your friends, coworkers, customers, and business associates, and to recruit as many hole sponsors and players as you possibly can.  If you need more information, additional Bar-B-Que tickets, or Golf Tournament registration forms, please contact one of the Lodge Officers for assistance.

If you are aware of any of our Brothers that are having difficulty getting to our meetings, please make one of your Lodge offic
