Prayer Requests

We have several brother's families that need our prayers.

If you were not at our last meeting, RWB Harry Weber reported that Robert Peller has been diagnosed with leukemia. Let's all keep Brother Peller and his family in our thoughts, as well as all our brothers and families that are suffering from various trials and tribulations. And also remember our brothers that are serving the country in ports near and far. (06/14/10)

Please make plans to attend February 22 meeting of Bethel #4 at our lodge, which is their Honor Masonic Heritage (Presidential Theme). All Masons and Eastern Star are invited. It would be good for us to have a good showing, so if you are available, please try to attend.

If you didn't come out on Saturday night, we had a pretty good showing of people at our annual Valentine's Dinner. We had a delightful dinner catered by SuperSmokers BBQ. We had beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey, corn on the cob, green beans, potato salad, cucumber salad, cole slaw, cheesecake, and those little eclairs. Oooohhh my. It was so good.

Also coming up in February, we will be having our annual Trivia Night on February 20th. Doors will open at 6pm and the trivia will get started at 7pm. Cost is $150/ table of 8 if reserved by February 15, 2010, and $160/ table of 8 at the door. Checks payable to PSRH #79. There will be Door Prizes, Silent Auction, 50/50 Drawing, and a Prize for Best Decorated Table. There will be unlimited light snacks, soda, and water provided. Questions, comments, or reserve your table call Bro Spencer at 636-970-3942 (Home) or 314-740-1050 (Cell). We currently only have 3 tables paid for and we need a few more people to commit to coming out that night. Please give Bro Spencer a call and let him know if you are able to come. This is our own charity and would be good if we can raise money to help our other efforts.

We did manage to have about 40 kids at the Holiday party on Saturday and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. If you were not there, Boo the clown entertained the kids, we had hot dogs, pizza, tacitos, veggies, and cookies, and then Santa Claus made an appearance delivering the presents to all the kids.

After the Holiday party a lot of us made our way out to the Hardee's Ice Complex in Chesterfield. We were very fortunate to have 41 volunteers and we processed 71 child identification kits. A number of the volunteers stayed after the event to see a very good hockey game. Thanks to all the volunteers that showed up to make this a great event!
