that have trouble driving after dark and other concerns but still wish to socialize with their Masonic Brothers.  Lunch will be served once a month and other activities as the program grows.
Suburban Lodge has been recognized Nationally by the National Order of Eastern Star Newsletter for having from "OUR" family, Mandy Caffey of Lorraine Assemble (Rainbows), Adam Lyons of Cherokee Chapter (DeMolay) and Brother Rick Ballinger (Southern Star Chapter OE S ) representing the three (3) highest "chairs" of their respective organizations within the state coming from "one Masonic corner".
A reminder that April 8, 2004 will be our regular meeting and the Thursday prior to Good Friday with Easter on April 11, 2004.  Remember your obligation and tenets as we celebrate the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
On Sunday April 25th at approximately 1:15 we will celebrate Masonry in Kentucky with the Louisville Bats, details or still being worked out with the Social Committee.  Among the activities are SpongeBob Square Pants appearance, Kids Run the Bases after the game, Town Planner Calendars and a Masonic souvenir give-a-way.  April 29th will be our next family night and coincides with the Derby Parade.  We will offer the entertainment of a group made up from most of the "Fishers of Men".  They will offer old country, Gospel and early rock 'n roll. If you enjoyed the last family night this one will be just as enjoyable.

May 6th, National Prayer Day, is the Thursday before Mothers Day
May 13th, Communication prior to Armed Forces Day May 15
May 27th, Communication prior to Memorial Day Weekend


As you can tell we have many miles to go before our travel is done.  We will be having activities during the summer including the Lodge picnic and social activities for the entire family.  This journey can not be made alone.  Without the assistance of every Brother, we go no where, but together we can travel and gain new insights not believed to be obtainable before. 
Brothers I have received many commitments from various craftsmen and I realize that we all have other obligations that should be taken care of first.  However we must know that we can not wait for the first signs of spring to plant the seeds of beautiful flowers.  We must prepare for the coming events for them to produce fruit.  With this in mind I would remind everyone, that without participation in visiting, committee work, up keep around the building, volunteering in the Social Club, learning a ritual part and other aspects of your Lodge we may become stagnate.  If we are not moving in any direction then we are stagnate and if we are stagnate then we shall surely wither on the vine.  There are too many good men to allow that to occur.  I must repeat myself and say that I am proud to serve this Masonic Family. 


    Be well my friends,
