5th District Deacons and Wardens workshop

Wed, 01/06/2016 - 09:30
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

Masonic Services for Joe Schultz

Mon, 11/02/2015 - 12:08

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.
