This is a Tuscarawas County event that we help sponsor.
Get your kids out of the basement and off the electronics and get out Saturday Morning to catch some MONSTER Trout at Tuscora Pond in New Philadelphia!
What a great day for kids - catching fish by day, collecting treats by night.

Good Sabbath, Brethren,
A little Masonic trivia:
One of the most exclusive Masonic groups is The Society of Blue Friars. Membership is by invitation only and is limited to Masonic authors. Founded in 1932, the Society admitted its one-hundredth member in 2011. Growth is slow because the bylaws allow that, “One new Friar shall be appointed each year.”
The bylaws provide a safety clause to prevent membership from becoming dangerously low, “Additional Friars may be appointed to fill vacancies caused by demise or resignation when the total membership is not over twenty.”
The Society meets each February in the nation’s capital. At the meeting, the newly inducted member is expected to deliver an oral presentation on his research paper addressing a topic related to Freemasonry.

From our Lodge to yours and your Families - Happy 4th of July.
Have a great day and please be safe!
