Brethren,

​

This year is already more than halfway over. We've wrapped up another successful Fourth of July Parade and are now looking forward to our upcoming Family Picnic.

 

The parade had a great turnout from the Brethren, their ladies, and the public. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped represent Tampa Bay Lodge.

 

Our charitable donations have continued throughout the year, with more opportunities still to come.

 

We have a Master Mason Degree scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd at 9:00 AM, and our DDGM Official Visit is on Tuesday, September 1st.

 

A handful of Brothers recently met at the Lodge to do a little spring cleaning. We pressure washed the back of the building, spent time working on the plumbing issues in the kitchen, cleaned several spots on the carpet, and made great progress improving the appearance of our Lodge. We still have a few projects to complete, but we have plenty of time while we're dark for the summer.

 

One of my favorite Lodge events each year is the Shrimp Boil in October—I can't wait!

I'm looking forward to the rest of the year, continuing our participation in Third Fridays and enjoying the many Lodge functions still ahead.

 

Fraternally,

Gerry McCune
Senior Warden
