Stated Meeting, Installation, Community Builder, and Open House

At our stated meeting on July 13 we conducted our usual business.  It was reported that a project for the restoration of the "upper room" was underway and that a donor to provide funds for the project may be available. A committee was appointed to continue the work on behalf of the lodge.  The project to restore one of the oldest extant Masonic Lodge rooms in Texas may bring the upper room to its former glory.  We'll report more as the project develops, but it looks like our long held desire to preserve and restore the upper room may be getting ever closer.

We also held an open meeting for the installation of officers, the presentation of a community builder award and to hold an open house.  The Community Builder Award was presented to Pastor Joel McMahon of San Felipe United Methodist Church by WM Vernon Holguin.

The Community Builder Award was presented to Pastor McMahon for his current leadership of San Felipe United Methodist Church.  We also extended our gratitude to the entire congregation of San Felipe UMC for their support of Olive Branch Lodge and our desire to assist in brining the upper room back to a useful part of the community.
