We barely have enough regular attendees to perform a degree, and it's a good thing because that's all we had last night -- except JD from Pennsylvania popped in! Our JD had to do double duty as a Steward because no one -- no one -- from a neighboring lodge bothered to show up. I know Coloma had an officer practice because the GM was visiting their lodge during their regular meeting. But Fennville, Allegan, non-officer Coloma, Bloomingdale?

I used to think it was just us -- that South Haven didn't reach out, so no one reached out to us. But we have been reaching out, helping with degrees where necessary, and yet still no one visits.

I'm concerned about our MM on May 30th now. We're going to need a lot of help.

Oh: Ron was passed and Dick, the outstanding ritualist he is, performed the lectures as well as ever. Tim stepped up and did the beginning of the lecture -- he's trying to learn it -- and James stepped up and did the charge. We all know we can't count on Dick forever, as much as we'd love to. I did fine until the end, where I completely blanked. And my wife made brownies. She never makes brownies and swore she'd never cook for the lodge, but she made them just the same.
