What happened at our recent meeting? At our May Meeting, we held a “cookout” dinner and enjoyed social time and a chance to catch up with each other. During the meeting, it was announced that Brother Jack Caynon was awarded the highest honor that can be conferred upon a Mason in New Hampshire, the Jeremy Ladd Cross Award, at Grand Lodge this year, which is for distinguished service and providing further Masonic light to those that would seek it. Congratulations to Brother Jack on such fine recognition of service!

After the meeting we enjoyed a time of fine food and conversation.
