We opened on the First, Second and Third Degrees of Freemasonry.
The Worshipful Master called on the Secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting. The Secretary read the minutes, including every name of every attendee and the names of each officer filling each station. The Secretary then reported he also had minutes from a called meeting held since our last regular stated communication. He read those minutes and in the same manner ran through the list of names of all attendees and officers in each position. The members present approved the minutes as read.
The Worshipful Worshipful Master asked if there were any petitions presented. The Secretary announced there was one. He read the petition in full, word-for-word. The Worshipful Master appointed an investigating committee to meet with the petitioner.
Things really got exciting when there was an alarm at the outer door. The Junior Deacon answered and announced there were two additional Brothers desiring admission. The Worshipful Master admitted them.
An investigating committee reported full and favorable on a candidate. We voted. He was elected.
A Brother from the building committee reported the air conditioner did not have to be replaced but could be repaired. It doesn't get any more exciting than that.
Time being short we had to postpone Masonic education. What's worse, had to table a discussion to plan our upcoming fish fry.
The Worshipful Master then proceeded to close the Lodge, peace and harmony prevailing.
I’m looking forward to the next meeting. That discussion of the fish fry could get really interesting when we try to decide what to serve the attendees who don’t like fish.
It was an awesome evening. I just can’t figure why attendance at meetings is so low and why anyone would not want to join this fraternity.
