I wish to welcome back, Bro. Terry Virgil Brewer, who has been restored to membership in our lodge.

I also wish to thank those brothers who responded to last month's dues notices. We now have only 36 members who are currently delinquent. Please check your wallet to see if you have a 2006 dues card. If you don't , you are officially delinquent. You must have a current dues card if you wish to visit another lodge. Please don't wait until the last minute to be current in your dues obligation.

I am pleased to report that our Ladies' Night had a good turn out despite the cold weather.

At the School of Instruction Newell Lodge will be responsible for conferring the Second Degree, including reading and portions of lecture as necessary. We will do this on Thursday night, 03/30. While all line officers are required to attend this program, other members are welcome to participate.

Mark your calendars for April 1st to attend the open installation of officers for the Eastern Star. Virgil Torrence will once again assume the role of Worthy Patron.

If you are aware of a brother who is sick, or in need of assistance, please contact me or any other Lodge officer.

Finally, please remember our sick and shut-ins in your prayers.

FRATERNALLY,

Brian Lee, Master
