Brethren, due to the incoming storm tomorrow's ritual practice at the Lodge has been changed to online Masonic Education on Zoom starting at 7 pm in our usual room. Please PM me if you need the info.
If weather conditions or the storm aftermath on Tuesday do not allow us to meet as scheduled at 6:30 pm for our FC examination, we will move that meeting to Wednesday at 6:30 pm at the Lodge. More to follow as conditions change.
August 2nd, 1:17 pm
Our original schedule had us doing ritual practice on Monday at 630 pm and an FC exam on Tuesday at the same time. We will keep an eye on the storm track over the weekend to determine if we need to make any changes. Masonic education on Zoom will be the back up plan... if the power stays on.

Brethren, we are sad to announce that Br. Duke D. Allen, a 56-year Masonic Veteran, has Passed to the Celestial Lodge Above.
Br. Allen affiliated with Kempville Lodge as a 50-year Mason in 2015 from the Grand Lodge of Wyoming. Funeral arrangements are pending and may be out of state.

Duke was a good guy. I was always impressed that he noticed there was a pinch of cinnamon in the Shepard’s pie I made for an Autos meeting one year.
Noble / Brother Allen was my sponsor to join Khedive Shrine. We served together in three different bagpipe bands. I'll miss him greatly.
prayers
Sorry for the loss.
RIP
💙💙
Thanks to everyone who attended Masonic education online tonight. The topic was the destruction of Solomon’s Temple and the construction (and destruction) of the second temple.

Many thanks to everyone who came out and donated food for the food bank on Saturday. We collected 250 lbs of food as well as $80 which was used to purchase more food. Our year to date totals are an incredible $643.00 and 1513 lbs of food!
Special thanks to MOTY Bob Hughes, our Lodge Food Bank Coordinator, for being at the Lodge to accept donations this weekend and for delivering the food to the Church of the Ascension food bank next door.
