IONIC #31 REGULAR MEETING – NOVEMBER 9, 2018
We also held a short Memorable Service, recognizing Canada’s past and present Veterans.
A number of Shriner’s and Masons attended the November 11th. Remembrance Day Service at the JPII High School. This Special Service was Remembering those who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice during the 1st World War, 100 years ago, as well as all other conflicts throughout the World.
Cole Knutson performed during a musical interlude, with a Clarinet version of “What a Wonderful World” and “The White Cliffs of Dover”. I can only describe his performance as absolutely Beautiful.
For those of you who do not recall, our Lodge sponsored Cole by giving him financial assistance to further his music career. After witnessing this performance, it was money well spent. We should all be proud of having assisted this young man. He is very talented.

IONIC BLOG UPDATE – LODGE MEETING JUNE 8 & DISTRICT GOLF JUNE 9, 2018
Brethren, here is your Blog update for our Regular Meeting on Friday, June 8 & District Golf on Saturday, June 9. Our Meeting was a relatively short one, opening in the 1st only, conducting business and doing a “Walk-About” the Lodge room with Bro. Sean Peterson, stopping at each station and explaining that particular officer’s duties. A Great idea! Sausage BBQ followed the meeting at the Festive Board.
The Annual District Golf Tournament was held at Silver Lake Golf Course, near Maidstone. 16 Members and Guests attended. As usual a good time was had by all.
R.W. Bro. Kevin Monsebroten receiving his Past Masters Certificate for 2017.
W.B. Jack Smith presents his Tatting to W.M. Mark Barclay. This will be used as a Book Mark in our Lodge. Tatting shown below.
Tatting is a technique for handcrafting a particularly durable lace from a series of knots and loops. Tatting can be used to make lace edging as well as doilies, collars, accessories such as earrings and necklaces, and other decorative pieces.
District Golfers relaxing after a round of golf at the Silver Lake Golf Course on Saturday, June 9.Players were from Meadow Lake, Unity, Lloydminster and The Battlefords. It was hot & windy, but a great day was had by all.
