FROM THE EAST

Greetings my brothers.
Another year is coming to a close. Soon I will be turning the reins over to Mitch Lokken. I am sure
that he will do a wonderful job. The Christmas party was a huge success. I would like to thank
everyone that helped and attended. I would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. On December 27th (St. John’s Day), Worshipful Jeffords Miller and his wife will be
celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Lodge. He extends an invitation to all to stop by
from 2:00 to 4:00 in the Afternoon.
We have a busy month in January. We will be conferring the Entered Apprentice Degree on
January 6. The Called Communication will be at 7:00 pm. On Thursday, January 21st at 7:00 pm
the Lodge will hold its Annual Installation of Officers. The Lodge’s 125th Anniversary is Friday
January 22, 2010. The Lodge will be commissioning a commemorative coin to celebrate the
Anniversary. It should be available in time for the upcoming installation. WøHorne will be in
charge, and I believe it will be something very special. On January 23rd will be the annual East –
West Shrine Game. This year it will be in Orlando, at the Citrus Bowl at 3:00 in the afternoon. The
Knights of Solomon Chapter of the Widow’s Sons will play a prominent role in the opening
festivities. Come out for a good time and support the Shrine.
In February we will again be manning the gates for the Osceola County Fair. This is our major
fundraising activity for the year. Worshipful Fisher will soon have sign up sheets so you can schedule your
time to help. Come out and support your Lodge and join us for a good time as well.
Fraternally yours,
Jim Davis, PM
