From The East

Greetings, Brethren:

October was a busy month.  We conferred the first degree on our new Brother on the same night as our official visitation on October 15^th.  There was a good turnout for this event and excellent work was done by the officers of Franklin Lodge. 

Additionally, we discussed setting a date for the Colonial degree and settled on the tentative date of March 13, 2010.  We are waiting on the degree team’s reply before finalizing the date.  For those unfamiliar, the Colonial degree is a degree done in colonial garb in the exact same way as the degrees were done on the founding fathers.  I am very excited about this event and will keep you all apprised of any changes in the date.  

The Open House was also a success.  The pumpkin carving and cookie decorating was well received.  We had a few interested parties come through the doors and complete applications.  We also have some prospective candidates to investigate.  

Franklin Lodge will be hosting our annual Turkey Shoot November 21^st.  Please come out in support of this event.  The event will take place at the North Grafton Fish, Game, and Bird Club, from 1 Stowe Rd, Grafton, MA 01519 from 10 am to 3 pm.
