Incoming Worshipful Master’s Message February 2015 Brothers, As February comes in with a blast of cold weather, Door to Virtue will be welcoming in the month as we are busy with degrees of our own. We will be raising Brothers Wayde Ezell, Bill Otovic, and Robert Resch on February 12th. Then on February 26th we will be dropping to the 2nd degree to pass Brothers Cullen Phillips, Joesph Fleck, Earl Woolford to the degree of Fellow Craft. Over the last month you may have noticed a few thing changing with the webpage. We have moved the Trestleboards to a member only section of the site and I am working with our digital committee to create some new content to keep the webpage fresh and exciting. With the members only section you will need to register for an account, this can be done on the right side bar of most pages. You will notice the next time you visit the lodge if you have not noticed already, on the landing between the social hall and the temple floor our new AED System. With the blessing of the Supreme Architect of the Universe we will never have to use it. Plans are to have people from each of the bodies that meet in the temple trained on how to use it, in the case of an emergency. Sincerely and fraternally, Michael R Raab, Worshipful Master, 2015 Thursday, February 12, 2015 Trestle Board, February 2015 dinner 6:30 Meeting 7:30 pm Routine Business The Master Mason Degree will be conferred upon brothers Wayde Ezell, William Otovic and Robert Resch Light Refreshments ************************* Thursday, February 26, 2015 Meeting 7:30 pm Regular Communication The Fellowcraft Degree will be conferred upon brothers Earl Woolford, Joseph Fleck and Cullen Phillips.

I will do unto others as I would have them do unto me. I pledge my loyalty to the Government of the United States of America, a Government of the people, by the people and for the people, and will not countenance disloyalty on the part of others. Freemasonry is founded upon these principles and I will use my utmost effort to preserve them for posterity. So mote it be
