Brothers,
After a couple weeks off we are jumping into May an summer head first. At our business
meeting we read the possible changing of the by laws for the opportunity of the life
scholarship. This will be read at our next two business meetings them voted on in July.
Brother Charlie Dunlap reported that the lodge cleared close to $4,700 on the golf
tournament.
I would like to extend a special congratulations to Brother Jay Greene and his coach
Brother Trevor Bedell on an excellent 3rd degree proficiency.
I also want to thank Brother Jay and Brother Mike Vinson for representing Cayce Lodge in
the outdoor degree.
I would like to thank Brother Trevor for representing us at Grand Lodge this year.
I was unable to attend due to the birth of my son Eli Reuben, born April 18.
We also voted to replace the compressor on the ice machine, and it will be repaired within
the week.
We do have a Fellowcraft degree this month along with a Masters degree.
I invite everyone out to support these brothers in each of their respective next steps in
masonry.
There is no Dang it Doll workshop at the lodge this month. They are having a workshop at a
local church. Contact Carol Davis for details.
As always if you would like to contact me for anything:

Brothers,
Thanks
for the great attendance at the May business meeting. We had an excellent turnout,
and we hope to keep that momentum moving forward throughout the remaining months. We
will be having a FC degree this month, and a MM degree. Please come and help
these brothers on their journey. We are getting close to putting the new roof on our
lodge building. This will be a great and much needed investment for our lodge.
I hope to see each of you soon.
