Brothers,
We have had an exciting year so far!!! Let’s look at what
has happened recently…
St Baldrick’s Team Nellis 46 F&AM raised over 8000.00 to
help aid Children’s Cancer Research and Treatment…
Nelson Sardelli was awesome by raising over 4500.00 on
his own for this great charitable foundation… We all look a
little funny running around with no hair…
I really enjoyed our March Stated Meeting; it was opened
by W. Al Schouten Pm. After 50 years he still has the
stuff, a great job was done by all the Officers in assisting him!!! Al will be
back for our December Stated, to close out the 50th Anniversary
activities of our lodge…
The Present…
We will be voting at this months Stated Meeting on the purposed By-
Laws changes and dues increases. There will be no discussion at this
meeting as an opportunity for that was provided at the March Stated
Meeting…
The Future…
A lot of excitement is in store for our Lodge…
The 50th Anniversary Celebration of Nellis Lodge, “A Roast of W. Al
Schouten PM.” will be held on April 30th at the Orleans Hotel and
Casino. It will start at 6pm with “No Host” Cocktails, with dinner at 7pm.
Tickets are 30.00 per person and are available through the Secretary or
myself. Ticket requests/checks can be sent to the lodge in care of W
Bro. Jim and the tickets will be mailed to you…
Our outdoor degree will be at High Twelve on May 4th at Rainbow
Canyon Ranch… Please see W. Mike Clark for room and meal
reservations. This will be pretty much the same as it has been for the
last couple of years… Social hour on Friday night, degree on Saturday,
Sporting Activities afterwards followed by another Social hour, breakfast

on Sunday and the ride home. The candidate slated for this degree
is Rick Wall; please make plans to join us for this great Nellis Lodge
Tradition!!!!
Oh, by the way…
There have been several complaints that Brothers cannot hear what
is going on during lodge and suggestions that a “Walking Mike” set
up would help… There are several questions that immediately pop
up… What kind of system will best work for us? How much will it
cost? Where will the money come from to cover the cost? Who will
install it? I am looking for a Brother to volunteer to head a
committee to answer these questions… Until improvements are
made in the sound system, if you are having difficulty hearing what
is going on I would recommend that you sit to the East Side of the
Lodge as most of the conversations are directed to the East…
Remember…
Like us on Facebook, to chat with our Brothers and check our Web
page for schedule changes and Calendar updates!!
Fraternally,
Jeff

3rd degree. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (October 27, 1858
– January 6, 1919) was the 26th President of the United States (1901–1909). He is
noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements as a
naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as
any office he held as a politician. Roosevelt was 42 years old when sworn in as
President of the United States in 1901, making him the youngest president ever; he
beat out the youngest elected president, John F. Kennedy, by only one year.
Roosevelt was also the first of only four sitting presidents to have won the Nobel

My brothers if you have not experienced the 29 degrees of the Scottish rite you should take a look at them. They give you more meaning and light on the three Masonic degrees you have already revived. The Master Mason is the highest degree but the 29 Scottish Rite degrees can give you more meaning of what Masonry. Is about as well as supporting the speech clinic. If you would like to hear more you can contact me at [email protected]. you will not be disappointed. The reunion is coming up in April an we need your application before then to be accepted. Fraternally
