IONIC LODGE #31 REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 13, 2017

Brethren, our Lodge held it's first Regular Meeting on Friday the 13th.  The date had no adverse reflection on the Meeting, as it went very well indeed.  I'm happy to say that our new Officers did an exceptional job & we look forward to a very good year. Congratulations to Bro. Rob Florence on doing a great job in proving up in the 3rd. Deg.  The annual exchange of lapel pins was carried out by the Principal Officers, and Bro.

IONIC LODGE #31 - REGULAR MEETING JUNE 10, 2016

Bro. Marcel Gullion was passed to the 2^nd. Degree at our Regular Lodge Meeting on June 10^th. Congratulations Bro. Gullion and now it's on to the 3^rd., hopefully in September, as our Lodge goes into recess for the months of July & August. At the end of our Festive Board Meeting, we all chipped in to set up the Hall for our Steak & Lobster Supper for the following day.

The Steak & Lobster was well attended and hopefully all had a good time and went away, well fed. Bro's Al White & Bernie Meisner cooked the Lobsters, in the rain, while Bro. Craig White did a wonderful job with the steaks, as usual, on our new BBQ. Job well done guys. Thanks for all those who helped behind the scene. This was a team effort. Many hands make light work.
