Sickness & Distress,
News and Glad Tidings (15)

	Our EA education night on November 16 was quite special!  W Bob Anthony organized a well-run program, including a "Walk About The Lodge", the EA Q&A, the Lecture of Reasons, and a wonderful historical lecture by RW Dan Semel!
	Our own RW A. Ihsan Toksu was honored to receive his commission, apron and jewel at our October 4 meeting.  Many warm and fraternal greetings from many Brothers, including the Sixth District's Grand Master, MW Neal I. Bidnick.  We all wish Ihsan godspeed on his work for the Grand Lodge.
	Congratulations to our newest Brothers! The Lodge initiated five Entered Apprentices on June 19. RW Walter Schraeter presented aprons to Brothers John White, Daniel Valles, Valdemar DeLima-Santana, Daniel Kratka, and Wilifred James. Brother Patrick Kelsey did the SD work, while the Worshipful Master, Bob Anthony, was in the East.
	What a great party! Our Summer Reunion on June 9 was one of the best in many years. Over 50 Brothers and guests showed up to honor RW Shelley Richman and W Chris Winnicki, including our own DDGM RW Stenrick Adams. Brother Patrick Kelsey hosted the evening, replete with great music by Brother Steve Kitts, a magic show, and a belly dancer (thanks, Ihsan!). It was akin to many of the big events we once had - and now are reviving. Many of our petitioners, candidates, EA's and FC's also joined in the fun.
