W.Bro. Al White did an excellent job of conducting the Ceremony. Bro. Les would have been proud!
We held our Regular Monthly meeting on Friday evening, October 12th. A 2nd Degree had been scheduled but did not materialize. A cheque in the amount of $7500.00 was presented to our Treasurer, Bro. Tony Francescone by M.W. Bro. Don Finan & V.W. Bro. Bernie Meisner on behalf of "The Ionic Red Coat Degree Team" Travel Fund, for the purchase of our new Lodge Room Carpet.
Brethren, our Regular Meeting on Sept. 14, was just that, a Regular Meeting. No Degrees for this evening. This was the first time most of our Members had their first look at our new carpet which was installed of the Summer Months. Our W.M., W. Bro. Mark Barclay made a presentation of a Book to Bro. Adam Niciri.
