If you have never had a chance to see an Eastern Star Installation, now is the perfect time to attend one, it’s open to everyone and it may provide you with a new perspective on what Freemasonry is about.

Even though the day started out pretty cold and everyone was wondering if we had lost our minds. The OES Field Day turned out to be a fun way to spend the morning. The Worthy Matron, Theresa McKnight and her accomplice Sister Lea Roberson, planned a fun and exciting morning. Unfortunately the turn out was not what we had hoped for, maybe we will blame it on the cold, but the Rainbow Girls turned out and really helped to make the day fun!
We want to thank Worshipful Brother Al Abbott, Worshipful Master of Old Fort Lodge No. 420 for allowing us to use the large field behind the Lodge building for our activities. Not only did he allow us to use the facilities he was also there after we had finished, to make everyone coffee and hot chocolate. We can’t thank him enough because it turned out to really hit the spot.
Although the obstacle course turned out to be a little challenging for some of us older folks, as you can plainly see from some of the photos posted in the Photo Gallery ( click here ) we didn’t give up. Some of us were a little sore the next day but it was all in fun.
Special thanks to Sister Theresa McKnight for her efforts to get everyone together and share in some good family fun during this special time of the year.
Happy Easter!

I recently heard someone quoting a 19th century philosopher, John Stewart Mill, and I could not help but be struck with how timely his thoughts were.
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself”
John Stuart Mill
I found it interesting; I hope that you might as well. If you would like to comment, please feel free to register and post your thoughts on the subject, whether you agree or not.
