From the South

Brethren,

It is my pleasure to bring you the upcoming events for August and the first part of September.

Firstly, Don't forget Union lodge's cave degree event is tonight and Saturday.  The dinner is tonight at Union lodge #38 from 4pm to 7pm, with a Georgia F.C. degree to follow.  Tomorrow's Events will start at 9am. More information can be found HERE.

TAMALES are now up for pre-order.
   Last year we started selling tamales and the results were astounding. These are not small tamales. We make mild or spicy and with or without pork. this fundraiser will be going from now through the holiday season. They are $12.00 a dozen or $20.00 for two dozen.  Call J.W. Dustin Wade at 865-686-2064 to place your order today.

Aug 21st we will be having 2 F.C. Degrees. We will eat at 6pm, Degree at 7pm.

Aug 28th we will be having an E.A. Degree. We will eat at 6pm, Degree at 7pm.

Due to in-climate weather last month, we will be re-hosting our 6th Annual Ice Cream social on Aug 30th This is a free event and we still have a ton of ice cream.

Sept 4th will be our official visit. I would like to see a good turn out this year. This is not just a chance for the grand lodge to grade us; it is also an opportunity for you to get a lecturers or proficiency card and a chance to ask questions.  It is also an excellent opportunity for the rusty mason to get his feet wet again.

Sept 20th we will be having a steak dinner at the lodge from 6pm to 8pm. This will be a true restaurant style, cook to order, all American, STEAK dinner. Sides will be baked potato and salad and yes there will be dessert. Tickets are $10.00, Kids 12 and under are $5.00. Call W.M. Mark Dixon at 865-414-0811 for Tickets and more details.
