Inspection Report

The inspection was outstanding. 

The morning started with a delicious breakfast enjoyed by 49 Masons and prepared and served by Roger Thornbury, Phillip Brandley, Tim Reuber, Duke Tingley and the Craft Club.

The opening was perfect and the introductions went smoothly. The officers conducted an outstanding M.M. Degree. 

The M.M. lecture was given by Worshipful Master Ranold Seymour and Senior Deacon Phillip Brandley gave the charge. The marching craft work was well done.

After the meeting, many visiting Brothers received our famous "Yellow Dog Degree."

It was a great day for Masonry and a proud day for being a member of New Carlisle Lodge.

We had 39 visitors and 25 New Carlisle #100 members (10 Past Masters) for a total of 64 in attendance.

Ninth District Calendar Update

From the District Deputies:

Please be aware that we have had to postpone Inspection at Mt. Sterling Lodge #269 until a later date, to be determined. They have suffered water pipe breaks under the floor of the building and repairs are expected to take more time than available between now and Saturday evening. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. We will adjust the Calendar on the District web page and Facebook page once we get a new date for Inspection there.
