We have eleven standing on the Entered Apprentice Degree with plans to install four more on the 15th of March. Please make plans to attend. Although not confirmed yet, we hope to have more Entered Apprentice Degrees conferred on March 27, 2010 at the Lodge.
Practice to receive the Most Worshipful Grand Master is March 1 with his visit being March 9 beginning with a meal at 6:00 PM. Our March 5, 2010 Officer Meeting will be brief and we’ll go over receiving Grand Master Charles Johnson once again. His March 9th visit will be an open one so family, friends, prospects, and other guests are welcome to attend. Please call WBro. Bob Suggs (303.344.5676) or me to RSVP because we want to have enough food for everyone.
The Lodge Association will be hosting a “Colorado Hold’um” poker tournament as a fundraiser on March 20th, 6:00 to 10:30 PM. The buy in will be $25.00 per person and anyone 18 years of age or more is welcome to participate and proceeds will help in the continued effort to spruce up the Temple. The Past Masters of our Lodge will be honored with a dinner on March 23rd beginning at 6:00 PM prior to our meeting.
Fraternally yours,

Brothers;
This will be my last Message as the Master of Aurora
Lodge #156. It has been a Great Honor for me to serve this Lodge
as Master for the past year. We have had a lot of growth in Membership,
improvements to the Lodge building, both inside and out. I am humbled
by all of the Brothers, Friends, and Families, who stepped forward to help
anywhere they could, to assist with all that we accomplished in the past
year. My thanks to all of you who have been willing to help any and
everywhere needed. From cleaning out the plumbing, to building and
ground maintenance, Mentoring new Brothers, Posting, and working with new
prospects.
Aurora Lodge #156 is on a path to doing many good
things in the coming years. We have brought in New Brothers and brought
back some “old” Brothers. And have many new prospects for membership
waiting. I take Great Pride in being able to say that I am a member
of such an outstanding group of men, as you are. I am sure I will
continue to be in the future.
We should never forget to thank “our ladies”
wives, girl friends and significant others for their support and the part
they play in our Masonic lives. Without their support we would not
survive. I would like to thank all of my officers for their strong
support. And wish the best to next year’s officers. The next
meeting December 8th will be election of next year’s officers and all Annual
reports as required. [refer to officers’ handbook]
REMINDER: There will be a practice for the 3rd Degree Saturday November
28th at 10 am. The Degree will be December 5th at 10 am at Aurora
Lodge. Harmony Lodge #61 will join us in a joint presentation to
raise three brothers.
Installation will be the December 12th at Noon at the Lodge.
Once again THANK YOU for making my year a Memorable
Experience.
Fraternally,
Richard
Brown, WM
