October 13, 2018 Meeting

We had a wonderful meeting and welcomed our DDGM Butch Giles for his second official visit. Several of our members were in period historical costuming.  After a delicious lunch furnished by WM Vernon Holguin (aka Sam Houston), and the conduct of our meeting, we had a reading for our historical presentation A Lodge of Union by the "San Felipe Players"

The presentation is based upon the minutes of the first ever recorded Freemasonic Meeting in Texas in 1828.

The meeting was productive, plans were made, events were scheduled, practices were held, and brotherly love and affection prevailed.
