If you missed the first showing on Sept. 9, 2007, look for it to be repeated on the Discovery Channel.

Remember 38th President and 33rd Degree Mason Gerald R. Ford 1913-2006 and his family in your prayers.

The annual Past Master’s dinner honoring the masters of the three Danville Masonic lodges will be held on Sept. 29th at 6:30 P.M. at the Masonic Temple.  This year we will be honoring Worshipful Brother Jerry H. Askren, who served the lodge well for the Masonic year 2005-2006.  Reservations are required and must be made with the secretary (217-443-4895) by 9/22/06.  Cost is $10.00 per person in advance.

Further Light Lodge #1130 will again receive the Grand Master’s Award of Ecellence at the annual meeting of Grand Lodge on Oct. 6th and 7th, 2006.  Your lodge has earned this award every year since its inception in 1992.  One of the reasons is the lodge’s emphasis on charity work around the community.  Last year our lodge donated over $10,000 to worthy charities and needy brothers.

Be proud of your lodge, it is making a difference in the community.  Two years ago our lodge was recognized as the second most active lodge in the state according to the point system used to determine the Award of Excellence.

Thank you for continuing to be a part of this great lodge!

For the first time in several years our lodge has scheduled a “Fire and Water” degree.  This has long been a favorite of brethren from all over the 8th Eastern District.  The degree will be held on the beach at the GAO Grotto on Denmark Road beginning at 6:30 PM on Oct. 18th.  This is a great opportunity for lodge members to return to lodge for an enjoable event that you only need to sit and watch.  Each brother is encouraged to bring a lawn chair and his appetite for a great dinner.  The six brothers who are scheduled to take their 3rd degrees are:

Clint William Gray, Danville, IL

Ryan W. Irby, Georgetown, IL

Todd Edward Johnson, Danville, IL

Dennis Miller, Danville, IL

Joseph James Sergent, Sidell, IL

Jeremy Starwalt, Georgetown, IL

Your officers hope to see you there!

Raised July 8, 2006:

Jay Cameron Gardner, Catlin, IL

Cory Ray Olmstead, Danville, IL

Michael Whitney Robbins, Danville, IL

Todd Eric Sowers, Georgetown, IL

2007 Lodge dues will actually Decrease to $45.00. This is great news and is due to the hard work of the officer corps. Thanks to everyone who has paid their 2006 dues. For the few that have not paid their 2006 dues, the amount is $49.20.

Please keep Brother Kirby in your prayers as he recovers from his injuries.  Brother Kirby’s address is as follows:  

Kirby Collins, Wishard Hospital, Burn Ward 4th Floor, 1001 W. Tenth St.,Indianapolis, In.  46202
