IONIC #31 REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 2018

Brethren, we held our Regular Monthly Meeting, last evening, March 9th., and a wonderful meeting it was.  Our two new Affiliates, V.W. Bro. Darrell Yates came to us from Saskville Lodge, Nova Scotia and  Bro. Trevor  Horton, from Malta Lodge, North Dakota.  Both were in attendance and were greeted warmly. Also, R.W. Bro. Bill Bryce and his Son, W. Bro. Mitch Bryce visited from Britannia #23, Lloydminster.  Bro. Bill Bryce, also a Member of our Lodge, presented our Master with two Aprons, to be worn by our Sr. & Jr. Wardens, and to be passed to their successors on Installation.  Always nice to see Bill and his Son attend. Thanks for the presentation.  

Our Master gave an explanation of his correspondence relating to importance of Mentoring new Members to Masonry. A very worthwhile endeavor.



W.M.  W.Bro. Mark Barclay;  Bro. Trevor Horton;  V.W. Bro. Darrell Yates and M.W. Bro. Pat Hutchison, who presented our new Affiliates with "Forget-me-not" lapel pins as well as the Masonic History surrounding this flower.
