As we approach Memorial Day weekend, we are also reminded to pause and honor the men and women whose sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today. In keeping with that spirit of remembrance, there will be a short Memorial Day service held at the Masonic Cemetery on Monday at 10:00 a.m. The service is conducted by members of the Za-Ga-Zig Legion of Honor, Provost Guard, and Sharpshooters. All members, family, and friends are welcome to attend as we gather in remembrance and respect.

Sincere thanks to everyone who made the Russell E Johnson Jr 33° reunion magical and memorable. Great degrees, great food, friendship, and fun made this one for the books. The Casino themed Gala was a huge hit, the smoked meat from Brother Chris Groom was mind blowing, and he shed blood, sweat, and tears feeding us. Knights of Saint Andrew hit the jackpot with amazing service and humble helpful attitudes, all the card dealers and game table operators were awesome and it was an all around great time. If you have any pictures you’d like to see featured here, we will be posting several over the next couple weeks. You can send them into our inbox directly here or to any of the officers who will pass them along.
