May 2010

We honored WB Hollander with a 50 year Masonic pin presentation at our first Stated Communication and our DIW RWB Ray presented a program on Masonic Symbols the same night. At our second Stated Communication the GM of Masons in VA MW William Earle Rorer, Jr. made his official visit and our Deacons presented a great program on the Masonic Rods & Staffs. Many thanks to WB Pobat & WB Walk for compeering this program. I also want to thank Bro. Art Wood for presenting MWB Rorer with a Lodge donation to the MAHOVA. Lastly my hearty congratulations to our newest Master Masons for receiving their degrees and kudos to our cast for putting on a great show!

May is another busy month. We have a surprise program planned at our First Stated Communication on May 3 and I highly encourage all MMs to attend. It should be real fun!
