Heat, storms, drought, and flooding persist as summer continues. A glance at the calendar, however, reassures us that autumn is just weeks away. The year is very nearly two-thirds over. Though we have been dark-ish for the summer, much good work has still been accomplished. In another week Pentalpha will resume full Masonic activity. I look forward to seeing each of you in Lodge!

In August many important things occurred:

Though we are into August, there are many members of our Lodge who, for whatever reason, have not paid their dues. Please pay your dues brethren! Thank you for your attention to this important matter. An effort is currently underway to reach out to anyone in arrears. If you are suffering and there is need, please reach out to me or Brother Secretary and let’s talk about it.

In September Pentalpha Lodge in partnership with Montgomery York Rite will host a Table Lodge on 09/22/22. I hope to see each of you there!

Finally, all summer we have been preparing for certification to secure succession and continuity in the East. We have also been preparing to confer the Master Mason Degree this fall. No doubt there will be updates in future issues of the Trestleboard.

Thank you all for being the men and Masons that you are and for the much good you do in the world.

Fraternally,

WM Hank
