JULY 8, 2017 MEETING REPORT
A new year begins for Olive Branch Masonic Lodge No. 26, "A Lodge of Union"
The stated meeting of July 8 was a fun time of Masonic work, brotherly love, and just a fun Fourth of July celebration. It paid to be in attendance. In fact, it paid a "million bucks." I hope that you enjoy your Masonic bucks, but don't try to spend them!
Contrary to the belief of some, Olive Branch Lodge No. 26 is alive and conducting business. Our next meeting will be October 14. Please come and participate. Please bring a friend and come and enjoy our "Lodge of Union."
