– Business Meeting Greetings from the East, I hope this finds you in
good health and cheer and that you had a great 4th of July. Please keep all of those on
our prayer list in your daily devotions. Also keep all those who keep us safe and protect
our freedom in your thoughts and prayers. At our July meeting Mr.
Michael Blake was elected to take the EA degree. This will be held on Monday the 14th. Bro
Bryan Nesbit will be taking his FC degree on Monday the 21st. Plan now to come out and
watch these men progress in masonry. If you haven’t been to lodge in a while this is
the perfect time to come, support these men and enjoy the fellowship at Cayce. Our joint Cayce –
Springdale Boston Butt sale was a success with Springdale selling 47 butts and Cayce 45
(can’t believe they out sold us). This is almost double what we sold last year. Thank
you to all who participated, whether it was a purchase, selling butts or helping cook and
serve, together, we “made it happen”. Our upcoming
E-tournament will be held Saturday July 19th. Advanced sign up and details can be found at
384events.com. With both Smash Brothers Ultimate and Pokémon tournaments this promises to
be a great day and there will be food available also. If you or someone you know would
like to compete come out and join us to see if you can take the trophy. Looking out past July,
our annual 8th and 10h District Inspirational will be held at the Grand Lodge property in
Lexington on Saturday August the 9th. This is a great opportunity to bring your family and
friends and enjoy a day of fun and fellowship. We will have a bouncy house and water slide
for the little ones and other activities including a motorcycle show and dunking booth (I
hear rumor the Grand Master will be in the booth) along with food. This truly promises to
be a great time of food, fun and fellowship. Our annual Ladies and awards night will be
held on Friday October the 24th so mark your calendar. More details will be forth coming. In closing, I want to
share a sign I saw recently. “Practice makes perfect – be careful what you
practice”. What are you practicing? Until next time, may God
bless and keep each and every one of you Mark Pridgen, PM, WM Greetings from the West! Hey Brothers and Friends, Hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July! Whether
you were lighting up the night sky or comforting a panicked pup (like I was—my
Chihuahua was not impressed), I hope you made some great memories. Now let’s talk about what’s really
sparking excitement—our Esports Tournament is right around the
corner! The trophies are in and they look awesome—shiny enough to reflect
your victories (and maybe a little sweat). Here’s the Game Plan: Date: Saturday, July 19th Between 10:30–11:00 AM (depending on how long
the registration line is) Event #1: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Event #2: Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game) Featuring Battle EX Decks (given at random and yours
to keep). No deck? No problem—we’ve got you covered. Entry Fees:
Pay ahead or at the door — we accept cash, cards,
and tap-to-pay. No excuses—just bring your A-game. We’re excited to see you all there—spectators,
players, and families are welcome! Let’s make this event a blast (pun intended). Fraternally,
Dustan Eberhardt, SW Greetings to our Cayce family. I sincerely hope that
you enjoyed a wonderful 4th. Your lodge has a busy month coming up, Monday July 14th Cayce
will have an Entered Apprentice Degree, Cayce will also have a Fellow Craft Degree July
21st. As always we eat at 6:45pm Gavel drops at 7:30pm. On Saturday July the 19th Cayce
will host a gaming showdown tournament, starting at 10:00am. The Joint 8th&10th
Districts Inspirational will be held at Grand Lodge Saturday August 9th starting at
11:00am until 3:00pm. This event is a family fun day event complete with Motorcycle show,
games, food and fellowship. Come out and join us. I would like to thank
everyone who participated in the joint Boston Butt fundraiser with Springdale we had in
June. It was a tremendous success all because of you, thank you again for all who
participated with the event cooking and selling tickets. As I close I ask you
to pray for our Nation and the World we could all use a little inspiration and pick me
up. God Bless you all
until we meet again. John
