George) will be next Saturday, February 13, from 2-8 p.m. at Weigel Funeral Home in Metamora, located on the Main Street on the east end of town.  Her funeral will be February 14 at 2 p.m. at the Berkey Congregational Christian Church.  Marj, like Loa Putman, was a tremendous supporter not only of Fulton Lodge, but also Masonry in general.  I know RWBro.

5th District Deacons and Wardens workshop

The Fifth District Education Officers have scheduled this year's workshop for Saturday, January 30 at Napoleon Lodge beginning at 9:00 a.m. Last year, our DEO's with the assistance of several other speakers presented very interesting programs promoting effective leadership for the Deacons and Wardens. Although the material will differ some this year, I'm sure the information presented will be both interesting and educational.
 
As the program will run into the early afternoon, a lunch will be provided at a nominal cost. To prepare adequately for the workshop and lunch, please let Napoleon Lodge secretary, RWB Doug Eis at surveyor@henry-net.com know how many will be attending from your lodge.
 
Please feel free to forward this message to your Deacons and Wardens and encourage them to attend this training as we all seek to improve leadership abilities in each of our lodges.
 
Fraternally,
Bob Rettig, DDGM  

This Old Lodge

And this is just the sealant!  I can't wait to see the floors after Bill puts the finish down today.  See you all Sunday for the Officer Installation.  Remember to be at Lodge by 1:15pm for the 70 year pin presentation for Chalmers Spiess at Memorial Hall across Main St from the Lodge.

Masonic Services for Joe Schultz

Brethren,

It is my sad duty to announce the death of Brother Joe Schultz (longtime member of Swanton, then of Wauseon, and a great friend and frequent visitor to Fulton Lodge) passed away October 31.  Even more unfortunate is that his Masonic services will be Tuesday night at 7:45 at Barnes Funeral Home here in Delta.  The WM has asked that we meet at Barnes at 7:30, participate with Wauseon Lodge in honoring Brother Joe, then return immediately to the Lodge for our meeting.  We have lots to do that night at our meeting, so please attend after we participate in Brother Joe's services.
