Greetings Brothers, I trust that everyone's summer has been going well and that you have found some time to get outside and enjoy yourselves. As much fun as the summer has been, I have missed you all and look forward to the Brotherly love we share in our lodge. It is through the regular gathering with our Brothers and the discourse we all share at those times that brings us together as Brothers. It is the effort put into lodge ritual and especially the degree work that demonstrates our intemal commitment to our craft and our mettle to make each other better. I am less concerned with perfection in these areas than I am with the demonstrated sincere desire to be ones best and to improve. We come together to improve ourselves in Masonry, if we were perfect what improvement could be made? What would be the purpose of joining together if not to be the steel to sharpen another's steel? We are taug ht in Masonry that it is the internal and not the external qualifications of a man that we should regard most. How do we find the intemal qualifications we seek? Some of the most beautiful creatures on our earth can kill us or do us harm, yet an Ass is one of the most useful creatures we have. So we look inside another to their core and find ourselves, shared virtues and values and a commonality to elevate beyond what we are at this moment. Those are the men with the internal qualifications we seek. As men and as Masons we look to surround ourselves with others after a like purpose. The more time we spend together, especially time spent for Masonic endeavors, the more we demonstrate our own inner beauty and the more we learn to appreciate the inner beauty of our brothers. Please take the time to join us for lodge whenever possible. There are many Brothers that we have not seen in a very long time. For some, if you could join us just once this year we would be very excited. For others, perhaps lodge once per month might be possible. If rides are needed they can be arranged. We have new members and that means new Brothers. Our new Brothers have many questions and are eager to learn. Our lodge is an exciting and vibrant place. If you haven't been in a while, please, come and see what you're missing!

Summer time is all but over.
Brethren, I want to extend a big thank you to all of you that participated, donated and stopped by the Fireworks Booth. We were very successful! It was a smooth operation and could not have been so without your help. I hope everyone had a great summer off and is ready:. to meet this next Masonic session with fervency and zeal. It's nice to have some time off but I am always eager to start back up again in September. Gentlemen I look forward to seeing you all at the Temple!
So now the craft must come back out of the dark and into the light, and as we do, so we must also go back to our good work. We have a lot of unfinished work which was started this year and left undone. Let's hope everyone had some rest and is ready to return to our labor with good cheer, and pick up our tools where we rested them.
Let's also hope, or pray that is, that our meals may meet all expectations. We like happy faces, and it seems we are all a little happier while sharing a meal together. Along those lines, if there are any special requests we are waiting to hear them, please let us know, if there are any complaints, let us know and if you just want to 'chat we can do that too.

BECOME ANELLlS TRfSTl..EBOARD SUPPORTER
Brethren,
If you would like to contribute to the TresUeboard support fund, please call 702-387-0046 and leave us a message. Get your name out there and show your Brethren that you support the Lodge and this . publication.
Dues notices will be sent out soon and I urge all of you to please remit them before the new year. This year alone 19 brothers failed to pay their dues; 6 of whom owed for 2014 as well as 2015. That translates into $600 in Grand Lodge per capita fees the Lodge has to absorb, not to mention the $1500 in monies the Lodge loses. There are also the costs of mailing duplicate dues notices, time and travel, etc. This office has tried contacting all of the delinquent brethren with mixed results. Some promise to pay and don't, while others ignore all attempts.
Current Annual Rates:
Paying your dues has never been easier!
Business Card-$75
1/4 Page-$200
1/2 Page-$300
Full Page-$600
As many of you know we've accepted dues payments at the NELLIS website using safe and secure PayPal. ... But now its even easier!
We are able to take your payment at Lodge using your favorite credit or debit card. It's s@ based on the PayPal method of payment so you know its safe.
~~
Simply see the Secretary and he will swipe your card and hand you your 2015 dues card.
