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.

Ionic Lodge held our Regular May Meeting on the 12th. with a 3rd. Degree for Bro. Grant Russell.  Congratulations Grant.  Job well done.  The following Evening, May 13,  our Lodge celebrated the 300th, year anniversary of the United Grand Lodge of England, with a Roast Beef Supper, followed by a video presentation of interesting information concerning the Grand Lodge of England. Bro. Mark Barclay was the M.C. for the evening.  A parade of the various costumes as worn by members of their particular concordant bodies was also displayed.  Guests were given a tour of the upper Lodge Room, with commentary. Thanks to all those members who helped to make this a very successful evening.
