We had an awesome meeting last night in Sparta. Great turnout. Thanks to the members of Sparta Lodge for hosting our group meeting and a special thanks to the Personal Rep and DDGHP for all your hard work in getting that meeting together. Special recognition was given to Jake Officer, son of Bobby Officer, for all the support he gives to the Royal Arch Masons. He was given the title of a "Royal Arch Mascot". The food was outstanding. That Chapter Council Cake was the perfect ending to a great meal. Pics will be up shortly.

Home from Maggie Valley and the York Rite Southeastern Conference. What a time we had. I think all the girls got to go shopping at some point and all the guys got to do what they do best...sit around and talk masonic. The weather was great, the food was awesome and the fellowship wonderful. We are so blessed to have a fraternity where we can make lifelong friends that seem just like family. Jim Harber made dinner Monday night down under the shed at Tanglewood. Man was that some good eating. The steaks were as big as a dinner plate and he had baked potates, corn on the cob, rolls and a salad. The only thing missing was some of Sandy Petersons banana pudding but we ate it all at the picnic on Saturday. lol
Jim...I think you just might have spoiled us.

Wonderful meeting last night in Maryville. Special thanks to Rob Farmer and Bill Neubert for all their hard work. Sometimes a DDGHP and Personal Rep job is a thankless job and they do a lot of hard work putting these group meetings together. You guys do a great job and we are grateful for your hard work. The meal was provided by the Eastern Star and it was to die for. YUMMMMMY. Hope to see all of you today at the picnic in Johnson City.
