Brethren of St. Tammany Lodge,

Brother Steve Keske has gotten our new website up and running.  It is now up to date and has some new features.  He still has some work to do on it and it will get better has he puts the finishing touches on it.  Be sure to thank Brother Steve for all of his hard work on this.  The new web address is http://no5.vamason,org .

We initiated a candidate on Monday June 1, 2006.  Our Junior Warden, Brother Mike McPherson sat in the East and conferred the degree.  He looked a little nervous but did very well as did the entire degree team.  Hopefully we will be passing, this new Entered Apprentice, to the degree of Fellowcraft in the near future.

The attire for our June, July, and August Stated Communications will be casual, suits and tuxedos are not required but are obviously acceptable.  It will be a nice change of pace to dress down a little during the hottest months.  It is my understanding that Army & Navy Lodge will also be going casual during this time.  We will still wear suits on the nights that we do degree work.

 Fraternally.....Wor. William Edward Potocki
