Brethren,
CDA lodge #20 will be holding it's stated communication for December on Monday, December 12th at 7:00PM. Due to the current weather and road conditions, we will be holding the stated communication at Cataldo #34's lodge hall. Not only will this be CDA #20's last meeting before going dark until March 2017, but we will also be installing our elected officers for 2017. If you need directions to Cataldo's lodge building, please contact Bro. Marlow at 208-512-2716.
All of us at CDA#20 would like to thank the officers and brethren of Cataldo #34 for allowing us to hold our stated communication at thier building this month. Poor road conditions on CDA river road can make the monthly trip to Murray treacherous.

Ionic #82 Christmas Party
From:
Bob Bate Ford [mailto:bateford@frontiernet.net]
Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2016 5:42 PM
Subject: Christmas Party!!
Ionic Lodge # 82 in Cascade will be holding their annual Masonic Family Christmas Party this Sunday, December 18th at the home of Terry and Linda Garrett! The High Country Sidewinders will have a beverage bar set up plus there will be a ham and a turkey. Please bring pot luck of other things (except yams, they are NASTY) for all to enjoy plus your own table service. Directions are as follows: Past the Shell station toward the lake (west) to the top of the hill, turn left (south) before you drive in the lake, then about a half mile down the road there will be two arrows directing you to go right but don't fall for that, after the arrows turn left on Par Drive and then almost immediately turn left on Caddy..........big brown house on the left with lots of jovial people is the spot! If you want to bring a friend (or two) that is fine as well.
On a side note we have one Brother that is ready for his Second plus a Brother that is ready for his Third Degree so start thinking about what roll you would like to cover!
Yours in Faith, Steve Bate
