Rememberance and Renewal dinner March 28th

 

Our Building

By Steve Cronkhite

 

In the last three issues I have put an article about the building on the front page with the photo above.

 

I joined Bellingham Bay Lodge No.44 because it met in our building and joined the Valley of Bellingham because it owned the building.  Why would a building have so much draw for me?  Life and living is never as simple as 1,2,3 so the answer to my question is complex.

 

  When I was in high school I was in an Explorer Post of the Boy Scouts that wore blue blazers, maroon ties, white shirts, and grey slacks and there were about 60 boys in Post 104.  Among other things we held dances and invited the Rainbow Girls and Jobes.  In turn, they invited us to their dances that were held after installations.

A Time of Remembrance

By Steve Cronkhite

We are at that time of year again when we remember those Brothers that have gone to that Lodge in the sky not made with hands by extinguishing the lights.

 

Our new Wise Master Chuck Anway, 32°  has ordered a steak dinner for the affair.  Dress is Tux and cocktail dresses (formals if you wish) and a sport coat is OK if your tux has shrunk over the years.

 

You can e-mail you reservation to Chuck at

Woof2804@yahoo.com or call him at 360-927-3317.

 

There will be a social hour from 6PM to 7PM and dinner at 7PM.  Cost of the dinner is $30.00 per person.

 

New Officers elected for 2007

Elections were held at our Stated Meeting on March 7th.  Steve Cronkhite, 32°KCCH was elected as Venerable Master, Chuck Anway, 32° was elected Wise Master,  John Stafford, 32° was elected Commander, and Ron Fine, 32°KCCH was elected Master of Kadosh.

 

The first meeting of the new Executive Board will be held on March 21, 2007.  This is the third Wednesday not the normal fourth Wednesday as we are having the Remembrance and Renewal dinner on the fourth Wednesday.

 

The Temple Board of Directors will meet at 5:00 pm, dinner will be at 6:30 pm, and the Executive Board will meet at 7:00 pm or as soon as everyone is finished with dinner.
