R.W.D.D.G.M. Steven B. Jackson, R.W. George A. Hadley, R.W. Louie Coelho, R.W. Charles Cahoon, R.W. Robert J. Ciempa, R.W. Keith Raftery, and R.W. Larry Tonini.  Your assistance in raising Mystic Lodge's three newest Master Masons made it a special night for them I'm sure as well as it did those in attendance.  I would also like to thank Eastern Star for cooking the dinner, it was excellent. This month we will open on the second degree in preparation for the Lodge of Explication to be held on May 7 at Evening Star Lodge in Lee.  I encourage all officers on attending the Lodge of Exemplication, and if you know that you will not be able to make it please let me know as soon as possible, thank you. May 8 we will be celebrating our 200th Anniversary with the M.W.G.M. Roger W. Pageau and guest in attendance.  We will be holding a dinner that night with the Berkshire Hills Men providing the entertainment.  The cost per ticket will be $40.00 and will include the price of our 200th Anniversary serialized Medallion.   Fraternally, Wor.
