A Stated Communication of Springvale Lodge #190 A.F. & A.M. will be held on Tuesday evening, October 12, 2010 at 7:30pm.  Regular Order of Business – Fellow Craft degree – Refreshments will be served by the Officers after the meeting
       A Special Communication will be held on the 26th for the purpose of welcoming our District Deputy Grand Master of the 19th Masonic District for his Annual Inspection of our lodge.  The MM degree will be conferred on one candidate.  A Supper prepared and served by the members of Ruth Chapter will precede the meeting at 6:30pm.
 
FROM THE EAST: Greetings Brethren!   If you missed our Master Mason degree at Fraternal Lodge last month you missed a show!  We had a lot of visitors see our work and I think we did a fine job.  I hope that it will help them renew interest among their members.  I really hate to see any lodge going down at this time.  I know times are bad but we must try to hold on to things that are sacred and I believe that what Masons stand for is one of them.
       We will have another busy month coming up.  We will be performing the Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees this month.  Our Inspection by the DDGM of the 19th District is always an important date for us and we want a first class turnout to celebrate this important occasion. I do hope that all will turn out and show our visiting brothers that Springvale lodge #190 is still strong, alive and well.  Special thanks to all of you who supported us at Fraternal Lodge.

FROM THE SECRETARY’S DESK:
       Brethren:  The end of the year is fast approaching. We close our books after our stated meeting in November so we can prepare for our annual meeting in December.  Wow… that means it is “Lobster Stew Time” all you can eat no less.  Living in Maine, we  have plenty of chances to have a bowl of good stew, but I have to tell you, ours ranks among the best and you can’t beat the company or the price.  But right now it is Annual Inspection time.  Come greet our District Deputy, find out what is going on in Masonry and enjoy some fine fellowship.  See you there!
        Fraternally,   Wor. Richard G. Ford, Secretary 207-324-4205
