It was a great turn-out last night.  It was nice to see so many in lodge.  We had quite a few visitors as well. We had members from Fountain Valley, Cripple Creek, Colorado Springs #76, Daylight Centurion, Ramah, Mountain Post Military Lodge #26,  and a few others represented. The Widow's Sons (Masons with motorcycles)  made a visit in force as well.  Our treasurer, Darold Jones, took care of the meal. We even licked the cardboard clean.
Our main event was the EA degree for Britton Yount.  Thanks to the preparation of our vacationing Junior Warden Billy Swartz, and to the Senior Warden Don Lam, it all went off without a hitch except for a few of us confused on the start time.
I thank you all for being there and appreciate some of our visitors filling in a few chairs to get the work started.
