Greetings Brethren –

September will bring a wide variety of choices where you can participate and be active in Lodge activities.  We will start the month off with a great fun event open to families at Medieval Times.  Get your tickets now before they sell out!  The 6^th will be Treadwell’s annual Lodge of Low Vale at the Long Branch Estate.  Bring a chair, a jacket, and flashlight to enjoy the fellowship and the meeting.  On the 8^th, we will be supporting the American Diabetes Association’s Tour DeCure.  Please contact me to support this important community event.  The 15^th is the Ed Ray Area School.  The EA Degree is to be dissected and the meaning behind the degree will be discussed.   The 17^th is our Stated.  Dinner at 6:30, Gavel down at 7:30.  The District 2 picnic will be in Lovettsville on the 22^nd.  Details to follow.  And, to close out the month, Hiram Lodge will be celebrating their 250^th anniversary on the 29^th.  There are plenty other items on the calendar that I did not touch upon.  Lots to do.  I hope you each will be participating in one manner or another.

On Memorial Day, a Master Mason’s conferral was performed on Brother Brad Morrell.   Making him Herndon’s youngest Master Mason (much to Brother Evin’s delight).  Brother Brad treated those present with dinner before the degree.  His family was on hand to meet and greet.  Congratulations Brother Brad and welcome to the Fraternity.
