Of all the takeaways from Annual Communication this year, these are the most important here at UG288- the Grand Master's Net Gain Award and the Gold Lodge Excellence Award.

Make no mistake, NEITHER of these are individual awards, whether there is a name on them or not. These are LODGE achievements. They reflect the collective effort of our Lodge to equal or exceed all Masonic standards and to grow our membership so that we can continue to (as our now MW PGM Bro. Jeff Schoenfeldt says) Be the Good in the World.

This coming Sunday June 14, we ask the public to please join us for a rededication of the Union Grove Masonic Center, and open house, from 11 am to about 2 pm. There will be a ceremonial ribbon cutting with the Greater Union Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and a presentation by our Most Worshipful Grand Master of Masons in Wisconsin, Brother Joe Thompson. If the opportunity presents, Leadership Union Grove may also present us with their historical plaque commemorating our building's history.

W. Bro. George Winget will be giving tours of the building and expounding upon its history and light refreshments will be available throughout the open house.

If you are curious about our humble fraternity, who we are and what we do in Lodge and in the community, or if you are already a Mason or member of an appendant body, please come and join us!!

The Brethren of the UG Traveling Lodge made the trip out to see our Brothers at Geneva 44, and wouldn't you know it? We also (unexpectedly) came away with the Traveling Gavel! We also got to close the Lodge after the capture!

A great time was had by all and we look forward to seeing our Brothers again soon!

A deep and heartfelt thanks from the Brethren of Union Grove Lodge #288 to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

There are no more solemn words on such a day as today than those offered by our great president Abraham Lincoln so many, many years ago at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania :

" . . . In a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

So mote it be.
