Brownstone Lodge Building Committee
A questionnaire regarding the future of the Lodge

included with the February notice and mail it as indicated. With expensive
short and long-range repairs and updates needed to sustain our Lodge
building, it is important that all members contribute their thoughts and
suggestions to the Heritage Committee. A special thanks to Brothers
