YOLO LODGE #195FROM THE EAST- THE PILLAR OF STRENGTH

The first half of 2013 has gone by, much faster than I expected. Yolo Lodge hasheld several degrees so far, received more applications and has participated in aFirst and Third Degree at Woodland Lodge. We have seen a few internationalBrothers attend our meetings and even participate in a degree. And we had whatmay be our most successful Father’s Day breakfast ever, raising money for our highschool scholarship program.

The second half of the year looks to be busy too. In August we will host a ThirdDegree, with San Leandro Lodge Brothers and their Ladies, in honor of WorshipfulBill Harp. The date for this Degree is Saturday August 10. At least one SecondDegree is in the works as well. And of course the usual meetings and such. So asthese events come around, think about stopping by and sitting on the sidelines, toshow support of the new members progressing through the Degrees. If you wouldlike a phone call or email remember, contact me and I can add you to my list.
