The second half of our 2010 year is now upon us. My brothers if you have not taken advantage of the opportunities at Lodge to join us in good fellowship, fear not, more is yet to come. Save the dates of September 18^th 2010 to join us at our annual picnic, and November 20, 2010 for our annual Venison Table Lodge. We hope to see you all and enjoy renewed friendships and make new acquaintances between the new Master Masons and those already established in the craft. As a service to remind you of the current events, you may have recently received recorded messages from me. Washington Lodge is included in a Call-Em-All program financed this year by Grand Lodge as a test program including one third of the Connecticut Lodges. All Connecticut brothers from our Lodge have been included on our call list, and I will continue to use this program to remind you of upcoming events. We hope these reminders will be useful in bringing you back to the Lodge to enjoy what we have to offer. May the balance of this year find you all in good health and with hope for a better future for all.
