Lemhi Lodge #11 Call to Communication-Correction
Brothers,
As you are aware, we are scheduled to put on a 1st. degree on Wednesday the 26th at 7:00 pm.
WM Torbett would like to have a practice session just prior to Lodge opening. He is asking that all brothers plan to attend the practice at 6:00 pm, one hour prior to Lodge opening.
It is imperative that all brothers plan to attend both the practice and the 1st. degree. We need all the seats filled for this to work well. WM Torbett is asking for all Elected and Appointed Officers to attend.
Rain or Shine,
Roy Sec. Lemhi # 11
===========================================================
Brothers,
Sorry, I to much going. I gave you the wrong date in my last email regarding our 1st. degree. Bob Perry just brought this to my attention. Our First Degree initiation is set for October 26th. The 12th. has come and gone!!
Once again, I apologize for the error.
All else remains the same. No diner is planned. Lodge will open at 7:00 pm on October 26th.
If you see any other errors, let me know.
Rain or Shine,,
Roy

Boise Lodge No. 2 A.F. & A.M.
BOISE LODGE NO. 2 A.F. & A.M.
Our Lodge will have a Fellowship Night of Pizza and Poker at the Boise Masonic Temple on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:00 PM. Plan to attend this fundraiser and enjoy the fun, food and fellowship (and test your card skills). The following Tuesday will be our Stated Meeting and election of officers for 2017.
The 2017 dues notices will be sent out this week and with the increase in the Grand Lodge assessment, a prompt payment is requested. The Prepaid Life members and 50 Year Masons cards will be sent out the first part of November with a request to help the Lodge with a donation, to help the Lodge pay for the increased Grand Lodge assessment.
The Grand Lodge assessment increase of $15 to a total of $60 per member will not raise Grand Lodge spending, but will increase the investment and endowment funds where future earnings will reduce the membership assessment.
Our November 1st Stated Meeting will have a delicious dinner at 6:30 PM. The meeting will open on the Third Degree for balloting on a petition and the election of the 2017 Officers. Plan to attend and help shape the future of the Lodge. This is the first time the election of Lodge officers has not fallen on a General Election or Presidential Election Tuesday in November. Do your duty and vote on both Tuesdays.

Oct. 24 Capital City #93 & Idaho #1 joint Pumpkin Carving for the kids.
