Brethren,

Wow! The month of June has sure come fast! That means our Masonic Year will be half over or half stated depending on your point of view.

The Grand Lodge convenes on Friday, June 6th and run through Saturday, June 7th. In addition to myself, Brothers Shane Beecraft and Tom Winters will be attending to Waukesha Lodge.

On Thursday, June 12th, the Waukesha County Shrine Circus will be held at the Waukesha County Expo with two shows beginning at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. A number of our Lodge Brothers are Nobles of Tripoli who will greeting kids and their parents at the door at the Expo and wishing them a good time at the circus.

Our stated meeting on June 19th will be proceed by a special luncheon of Spit Roasted Pork Loin Sandwiches with the trimmings prepared by Brother Dale Hartung. The lunch will be served at 6:30, followed by the stated meeting at 7:30 p.m. Because of the nature of the meal, please RSVP your intentions of attending to Brother McQuillan at 262-547-9328 by Monday, June 16th so we can acquire enough food to feed everyone.

The Del Berger Open Golf Outing will be held Saturday, June 21st at Eagle Springs Golf Course. See the enclosed bulletin for details. Non-Masonic guest or friends are always welcome. Get your reservations in now!

Depending on the progress of our newly initiated Brothers, we will finish out June with the conferral of the Fellowcraft Degrees starting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 26th.

Brother Shane Beecraft is exploring the possibility of starting an Eastern Star Chapter in Waukesha. If you or your lady are interested, please contact Shane at 262-442-6084.

We will be working at The State Fair again this year on Saturday, August2nd. If you wish to volunteer to work, call me at 262-547-9328.

To end the Summer, we will have a food stand in Cutler Park for Waukesha’s Harley Fest on August 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st. This may be the biggest fund raiser the Lodge has ever had. The potential for making mega bucks is very high but it won’t come without the commitment and efforts of Lodge Brothers and others to make it happen. Don’t be surprised if you receive a call to help.

Fraternally,

Bob McQuillan, Worshipful Master
