Dear Brethren, Let’s start with plenty of joyful announcements. First, I want to congratulate Worshipful Theodore Adelbert Korosy on being our 2008 recipient of the Hiram Award. Wor. Korosy, while retired from the line of Officers, has always been there to lend a strong support and help during degrees and other duties of the lodge. His dedication to Freemasonry has been proven over the past 48 years. For me, my favorite part is, his ability to fill in any chair on short notice and to never complain about it. The official presentation will be at our August family dinner. Secondly, our recipient for last year is also being honored again. Bro.Vernon Barrwill receive the Rob Morris Award from the Eastern Star. Congrats Vern! Thirdly, our Rainbow Girls Assembly #16 distinguished themselves again during Grand Assembly with 2 new Grand Assembly Officers. Peninsula 168 is honored to have such a dynamic and recognized Chapter within our Lodge. And lastly, I want to acknowledge the talent of our four Scholarships recipients for displaying such impressive academic achievements and community dedication. It was an excellent event and dinner celebrating our Youth. CONGRATULATIONS to each recipient of these honorable awards This month, we will have a 3rd Degree. Please help Brother Greene in lining up the degree team. As a reminder to all the Officers, please remember that when you join the line, it requires dedication and hard work for your fellow Officers and to yourself. While we are sailing through this year, I want to request again from all the Officers the commitment to the Lodge schedule. It is important to show respect and courtesy to your fellow Officers by filling in your part. And also, start thinking about next year and the following ones. Where will you see yourself as an Officer and as a Mason? I look forward discussing the above with all of you individually or as a group. On the Historical side, the 150th anniversary for Peninsula #168 is coming very fast. We should plan on collecting information right now. Please contact Jim Dillaman or myself so that we can record our history and use it in preparation of this important milestone. And again, we are planning for July to work on the 2nd floor of the lodge. Brethren with expertise in renovating/construction are more than welcome to volunteer!
