Greetings, Brother!

WM Trude has set aside the October 16 Stated Meeting to honor our Past Masters.

There will be a dinner prior to the Lodge meeting, which will begin at 5:45 p.m. in the lower level unit room.  If you plan to attend, please notify me by email or cell phone (717-317-2696) NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, Oct. 12 so we can make appropriate arrangements with the caterer.

Also attached is the letter announcing that dues for 2026 may be paid now via check or through Grand Lodge website. Dues are $130 per member this year, but those who have earned their 50 year pin will have their dues remitted (forgiven) by Grand Lodge. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Lastly, to ensure all members receive this lodge notice you will receive a hard copy in the mail.  So if you wish to pay your dues by check, please look for your lodge notice as it will include a self-addressed return envelope for your convenience.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Gerald D. Feaser Jr., P.M.

Secretary

Greetings, Brother!

Please see attached Lodge Notice for September, which outlines our upcoming Stated Meeting on September 18.

Prior to the Stated Meeting, we will be holding a dinner at 5:45 p.m. in the lower level of the Consistory Building.  Please contact me no later than SUNDAY, SEPT. 14 to make a reservation.  Suggested donation for the dinner is $15.00.

Also, I wanted to pass along this reminder of the upcoming 100th Anniversary dinner of Pilgrim Chapter of DeMolay (please see attached) on Sept. 28, which reservations due no later than Sept. 12. Tickets for that event are $35 per person/$60 per couple or $250 for a table of 8 seats.

We also received a dispensation to confer all three degrees on Saturday, October 18, starting at 9 a.m. The petitioner, Joshua Robert Macomber, is a student at West Virginia University.  This is a great opportunity for those members who have not seen any of the degrees conferred, and to show our welcome to this new member, on a Saturday during the day.

Lastly, the October notice – which will be mailed to all members, even those receiving notices only by email – will include the annual dues notice.  Dues for 2026 will be $130, and can be paid online through your page on Grand View (the PA Grand Lodge website).  Those members who are 50 year members do not owe dues, and your 2026 dues card will automatically be mailed to you on November 1.
