Illustrious Fred Wright requested we post this picture of him presenting Ed Lanham his 33rd Degree White Hat. Alas, my Brother.

It is with regret we must now inform you that our Brother, Illustrious Ed Lanham, has been called to the Celestial Lodge above.

His Masonic resume was long and distinguished. Ed was a Past Master, Past DDGM, current Secretary at LaBelle Lodge and National Sojourners, a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason, one of the best lecturers we’ve seen, and a list of superlatives too long to relay here.

More than that, he was a good man, a friend, and a patriot. We will miss him.

Arrangements have not yet been finalized, but we will communicate them as that develops.

Great evening tonight! Great Country Fried Steak for dinner! We also had a great speaker! Victoria Staryk, Crime Preventive Specialist from the Lee County Sheriff Office, gave an outstanding presentation on how to conduct yourself in an active shooter situation.

*Brothers of the Valley, please read*

Please always be mindful of who is communicating with you, especially when they are asking for money or personal information.

I just received an email from what appeared to be our Personal Representative Hon. Jeff Nowak. Something didn’t seem right about the message, and when I clicked to see the actual email address it was a spoofed email and not from him at all, which he confirmed when I called him.

When in doubt, pause and take an extra step to confirm, whether it be email, phone, text or any communication. Not everyone out there has your best interest in mind, and they’d be happy to take advantage of your good nature.
