There will be an outdoor raising on August 14th @ 10am. The event will be held at the Elsen’s Farm in Colerain Township. If you would like further information please contact WB Tom Dawson.

Brethren,

We have received word, through his grandson, that Bro. James Bradley is in Hospice, on Eaton Ave.

Fraternally,

Matt Reed, PM

Brethren,

             It is with my upmost sympathy that I ask you all to pray for the Bradshaw family. Brother Lloyd Bradshaw KYCH and wife Shirley’s daughter passed away last week.

Bro. Shawn Campbell is in Mercy South with Heart trouble. We wish him and his family the best and please keep them in your prayers.

Please see information below on the Second District Golf Outing.

Tonight is our first in series of fundraisers at local dining establishments.  Ryan’s Tavern in downtown Hamilton will be donating 10% of your food bill to Washington Lodge just for mentioning the lodge.  If you can please try to stop by between 5pm and 9pm.

I say fist because, our Senior Steward Jamie Issacs has arranged similar events with both Applebee’s located in Hamilton.  Please visit www.washington17.org/fundraisers

Brethren, a fun time was had by all last night at “Hamiltucky Night.”  The relaxed evening brought out a few new faces as well as some bib overalls.  The evening concluded with a tour of the boiler room to view the new boiler.

Oh, and it included a repair of our treasurer’s bib’s!

The best part of the new boiler…

I recieved word tonight that W.Bro. Lundsford is doing well. There was some concern that he had some heart trouble, but it was either pancreatic or gall bladder pain.

Tonight I attended the inspection of Huber Heights #777 in the FC Degree.  It was a wonderful evening that included the witnessing an Air Force Captain receive an Honorary Membership, as well as the passing of an Air Force Tech Sergeant to the FC Degree.  Another highlight was the attendance of nine brothers from Edward Dugger Jr. Military Lodge No. 123 (PHA).  Pictures can be see at our Grand Master’s Blog: gmohio.blogspot.com.

Worshipful Brother Reece suffered a heart attack on Monday.  Please keep him and his family in your prayers.  It is my understanding that he is in Mercy Fairfield.  I will pass along more information as it becomes available.
