Congratulations, Bro. Davis!

Congratulations to Hugh Davis, who was raised last Thursday night. Welcome to Kosmos, Brother!

Thanks to all who attended and assisted with the degree team. Congrats (and thanks) to W. Bro. Larry Hinyup, P.M., for his excellent work in the East. Special thanks to our guests who came out Thursday, with particular thanks going to W. Bro. Andy Mims of Dante #174, for his assistance with the Work. I'm going to get a copy of W. Bro. Mims' "bible presentation" so we can incorporate that into our 3rd Degree on a regular basis.

New Collars...

In addition to the working tools, the gold collars that W. Bro. Kirst donated the money for arrived. They look just like the one our Worshipful Master wore for his installation. I also ordered new jewels for the WM, SW, JW, and ME, but they're coming from a store in France and may not make it in time for our MM Degree on Thursday.

Thanks to the generosity of W. Bro. Richard Reardon, P.M., our current SW, we have new working tools.

The box opened up:

They'll get put to good use as early as this coming Thursday, when we do a MM degree. Thanks again, Richard!
