FROM THE WORSHIPFUL MASTER

Brethren.

Thank you to everyone who came out to last months Stated and Extra Meetings!  The degree work was beautiful!  I am certain that the candidates appreciated your support.  Please continue to make every effort to attend all of our meetings.  Our numbers and participation give us our strength.  

We have had a great year and I'm a bit saddened to see it go.  The brewery tour was a great event addition which I'm sure will continue in 2012.  The summer BBQ was once again a huge success!  I look forward to making Fernwood Lodge even stronger in the upcoming year!
Stephen E. McIlhenny
Worshipful Master
