The Grand Architect drew up a perfect day for us this weekend! The 2nd Southeastern hosted it's annual So Meat It Be Smoke-Off "The 3rd Degree" on Saturday, October 24th at Lake Sara.

WB Rex Allen and Edgewood #484 were finally unseated as Grand Champion by WB Andrew Evans, and The Gavel will reside in the east at Watson #602 for the ensuing Masonic year! Winning two categories, Effingham #149 had a very strong showing under the guidance of WB Wil Joiner.

Massive thanks to all who came out to eat with us, the participating Lodges and their teams, the judges, families, sponsors, and friends!

Another successful cleanup day at Crisis Nursery Of Effingham Co.! For spring, the District lodges did powerwashing, raking, leaf removal, gutter cleanout, and planted a few planters with fresh flowers. We hashed out plans with Director Rewers for the fall to hang Christmas lights! Thanks to the Brothers from Effingham Masonic Lodge #149 and Watson #602, and members of Compassionate Assembly #121 who pitched in.

This spring, Watson #602 and Effingham Masonic Lodge #149 teamed up to bring the Bikes for Books Program to Effingham Unit 40 school district.

With the help of Library Media Specialist Mrs. Julie Flack, IMCAP's Bikes for Books ran alongside the district's Read-a-thon month. THOUSANDS of books were read, and as the students hit their Accelerated Reader goals, they earned entries for their potential bike. BIKE & HIKE Charleston stepped up with an incredible deal on 10 bikes, helmets, and a free t-shirt for each winner! The winners get to pick out their bike specifically sized to fit them.

Congratulations to Danna, Gerald, Ryker, Kaeson, Lilly, Tula, Hannah, Josh, Samantha, and Blake—they're going to be cruising around in style this summer on their brand new bikes!

Thanks to WBs Andrew Evans, David Harper (not pictured), Tom Jewell, and Wil Joiner for attending the presentations at both Central and Southside School.

Edgewood Lodge had a busy week last week! WM Kevin Crain, Kelly Welch, Bud Post and Rex Allen spent another day drawing a bike winner and delivering school and classroom supplies—this time to North Clay Community Unit School District #25. Our lucky winner is 4th grader Briar. They had 115 students participating and read a total of 407 books, with our winner reading 5! We want to congratulate our winner and Thank the Illinois Masonic Children's Assistance Program for giving us the opportunity to help our community's children.

A big THANK YOU to Edgewood Lodge and Kinmundy Lodge for providing the hospitality room and providing rhe lunch. Thanks to all the Brethren that supported the schools competing. Without your support, this tournament would be difficult to hold at the many sites throughout the state.
