“There’s a hundred and four days in summer vacation…” the beginning lyrics to a popular animation series featuring the adventures of two brothers and their quest to make the most of those days before school begins again. As we approach the end of summer vacation, we can reflect upon our own adventures, side quests, and accomplishments. Family visits, beach days, travels to new and personally unexplored lands, or maybe just a few touch-ups to our homes. Two hundred and fifty years ago, several masonic brothers joined with other learned men, and founded our country. We celebrated that milestone in July. As we moved into August, our lodge suffered several break-ins. Thank you brothers Bill Tully, Bill Gruber, Bobby Stuart, Wor. Eric Gurney, Wor. Dave Wold, all made side quests from family, or their regular vocation, to make repairs and secure the lodge for another day. As we continue through August, and look to September 19th, for our annual “End-of summer” BBQ; this year enhanced with an “Ice-Cream Social”! Stop by, enjoy fellowship over a mouthwatering deep pit BBQ, and stay for a scoop or a float! Our August stated meeting included a visit by the Junior Grand Deacon, Wor. Thomas Johnson, for fellowship. Also, Wor. Richard Harlan, from Phoenix Rising Lodge #178 presented a us with a $200 donation, supporting the youth order event held in May. Our 100 year committee is looking for “YOUR” history and memories of time as a mason with Fontana Lodge, to be placed in a time-capsule celebrating 100 years of Fontana Lodge #653. Send your stories, pictures, wisdom, to robertbronner@ymail.com, or drop them off at the lodge at any stated meeting! Did you know we have a website? fontanamasoniclodge653.com Check it out! Making the most of summer…vacation?! See you at the lodge! Fraternally, Robert Bronner, PM |
