Hello Brethren;

It’s hard to believe that we are approaching that time when we go dark. I’d like to thank all who have made this portion of my term as Master so productive, your participation in Lodge activities makes us proud. I’d especially like to thank my Officers and families for contributing so many hours out of their regular lives to support our busy schedule.

Congratulation to the Brethren, on May 15^th at the 221^st Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire F. & A. M., we were for the second year in a row awarded the Special Ladies Silver Bowl, which is given each year to a lodge in recognition of their devotion to assist and serve their Special Ladies. Also, Horace Chase Lodge again qualified and was one of the lodges to receive the Grand Masters Award, "Great Job my Brothers". Congratulations to our Brothers who were installed for the upcoming year as Grand Lodge Officers: Roger Becker - RW District Deputy Grand Master, Robert Lethbridge - RW Grand Chaplain, Karl Olson - RW Grand Historian, Kenneth Clay - W Junior Grand Deacon , Mark Roth - W Grand Pursuivant, Donald Crete - W District #2 Education Officer. Also, thank you to our retiring DDGM, RW Bro. Walter "Joe" Lovell for his years of devoted service to the Fraternity.

Haven’t been as active as you’d hoped, well although were going dark soon there’s lot’s ahead yet. June 8th the Wandering Wayfarers are off again, this time to Goffstown. June 10th we will be raising to the sublime Degree of Master Mason Brothers, Robert E.D. Anderson, Rodney W. Sewall, Jr., Craig C. Willis. On June 17^th at our Stated Meeting/cookout invite your family to join us along with this years Lodge Scholarship winners, the Boscawen Gettysburg Address winners, the Loudon Scout Troop and the Boscawen Police Department and their families to enjoy the festivities before the meeting. Saturday, June 19^th after our Potluck Breakfast we’re expecting the arrival of the dining room flooring material, plan on working off some of that great breakfast, stacking materials, as many hands make for short work. Sunday, June 20^th is St. John Sunday at the Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge, NH, we’ll be carpooling/ motorcycling from the Lodge at 8:00 AM. The next day, Monday the 21^st the Building Committee will be kicking off the very aggressive remodeling project, please contact our Committee Chairman Bro. Ronald Scovil @ 225-5590 to check the schedule and offer your assistance. Lastly, on June 24^th we’ll be making three new masons. Oh, by the way, there’s more stuff while we’re dark, I’ll see you soon!!!!!!

Almost over, soon all those "Horace Chase Studs" will be hidden away. Contact our Secretary to reserve one for your personal message to the brethren of the future......
