From the Secretary
I would like every member who has an email address to please send it to me at the Lodge email address, pennsgrovelodge54@yahoo.com. This will give you instant information that would take days by mail and, in some cases, after the event has taken place. We do not send your addresses to any other organization.
 
If you were previously receiving the Trestleboard via email and it has stopped, you must have changed your email address and have not informed me of the change. You must notify me of your change in email or you will not receive the Lodge information. There are at least 10 members and friends who are not receiving any information from the Lodge. Please email me at gradydjr@yahoo.com with your new email address so I can update my address book.
 

Brethren, we will be receiving a new and revised Petition for Membership as of February 1, 2010. There are new regulations and we will not be able to accept any petitions presented on the old petitions. If you need a petition, please contact the Worshipful Master or the Secretary for a new application. 

 
NOTES FROM THE MASTER
We are very grateful to R.W. Glenn R. Trautmann, the Junior Grand Warden, for starting the journey back through our Masonic roots. His presentation at the January regular communication was most informative and set the stage perfectly for the February program.
 
I am very grateful for the historical documents and information received from members of our lodge while preparing the historical review presented at the February meeting. I also appreciate those who helped in the meeting. It was great to see all of the masons that attended the meeting including twelve past masters, numerous members and visiting brethren! There will be pictures for you to see soon. The snow (upon snow) slowed us down on transferring the files. Stay tuned for them. If you missed the meeting and still would like to receive the special pin struck for the celebration as well as the booklet detailing the early history of the lodge, come to an upcoming meeting – before the supply runs out. I hope to see you soon.
 
                                                          Sincerely and Fraternally,
                                                                  Ronald D. Miller
                                                                Worshipful Master
