Saturday, December 11th marked Metropolitan Lodge #11’s 150^th year open.  They started with a program in the lodge room. They talked a lot about the Masonic youth organizations. Many people spoke fondly of the lodge and a few people were given awards. We were told that Charlie Sarbaugh was ill with a severe respiratory illness and to please keep him in our prayers.

After the program there was a reception in the dining hall. All the girls sat and talked about the program. The girls enjoyed the program, especially the part where they talked about Rainbow for about ten minutes. Later all the girls gathered in front of the Christmas tree with Worshipful Master of Metropolitan, Tom Watkins and took a picture.  Metropolitan Lodge #11 is the sponsor of our Assembly.

We regret that due to the possibility of bad weather in which many would have to travel Saturday night, the Pledge Party and Charity Ball have been rescheduled for February 26, 2011. All of the events will take place on that day just as we had hoped to do this weekend on December 18. Please help us in spreading the word about the change. We hope this new date will work for everyone since the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters Dialysis Unit is a very worthy cause and the day will be full of fun.
