April 13, 2019 Meeting Summary

As we had hoped, the weather for our April 13th meeting at San Felipe de Austin was glorious! We had an eventful day and if you missed it you missed out on a good deal of learning.

The "upper room" of the church building was unlocked and we were able to take in the progress made thus far on restoring the upper room to a more usable condition.  The air conditioning unit and ductwork have been removed from the old lodge room, the flooring repaired with the original flooring, and window shades installed to prevent further deterioration due to light.  The improvements stimulated our imaginations for how our lodge might be of service in helping to restore the lodge room to a more original appearance for limited service.

At noon we had a delicious lunch of rice and stew, with cooked carrots, rolls, tea and a cake that was highly praised.  The lodge was then set up for work and for the reception of our District Deputy Grand Master (DDGM).   

Next Meeting: April 13

Our next meeting of Olive Branch Lodge No. 26 will be Saturday, April 13, the second Saturday in April.

We will have food, fellowship, some fun and some business to conduct. We have received new petitions for affiliation, Grand Lodge communications, and this being the last stated meeting prior to June 23, we will have elections of officers.  Fair warning: those who are not present to protect themselves my find themselves elected or appointed to an office.  :-)

Please come out Saturday, before noon, and enjoy the welcoming of Spring with a (hopefully) fine day!
