Hello Brothers,
Welcome back from our summer break. I hope you all had a great summer with your families!! As always, our
schedule is very busy. Please try to accommodate as many events as you can into your schedule. I will try to get
a two month calendar in the next letter. Historical Evening - Brother Kim and others have worked hard on this
night. Please make every effort to attend. Pasty Bake - Brothers, please note the times listed and help if you can.
Frozen Pasty Sales - We have been selling frozen pasties on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. We still need 1-2
Brothers to sell them during the times listed. Pasty Workshop - We will be having a Pasty Workshop on Sept.
27th. We will go over food safety during classroom time & actually build pasties during hands-on. I would
encourage any-one interested in making pasties to attend. Deployments - From now until mid 2011 we will
have deployments that will take several of our Brothers around the globe. Brothers Dan Gallagher, Tommy
Klepac and Randy Foreback are heading to Iraq this month; keep them in your prayers. We will again be in a
situation where our Worshipful Master and the Wardens will need support from the Past Masters and the
Lodge during their absence. Come support your Lodge during these times when we are hit hard with Brothers
being deployed. Please come down to your Lodge - it is your house.
your humble Brother,
Steve Suchek

( A public apology to Brother Vern from your Editor: I”m sorry I misplaced your news , Vern. It was very late when I sat down to finish this, too late to call, and going to print the next morning. I wanted everyone to know that Vern did indeed deliver his news to me in good time. You all know that he is a faithful Brother and enjoys sharing with us. Please look for his news again here next month. Your contrite editor, Marsha.
