July 9, 2009 - HOW WE SPENT OUR SUMMER VACATION

Dunedin Lodge may be dark for the summer, but the Brothers of the Lodge are quite active. While on vacation, several Brothers took the time to explore Masonic sites along the way, including:

• W:.Tim Bryce, PM and Bro. Tom Collias who toured Alaska.
  
  
• Our Junior Warden, Bro. Mike Wilson and Bro. Ilias "Louie" Vavoularis who toured
  Greece.
  
  
• Bro. John Montemarano who visited the George Washington Memorial
  in Alexandria, Virginia.
  
  
• W:.Phil Bonds, PM who visited Rutland Lodge No. 298 in Macon, Georgia. According to Bro. Bonds, in June the members wear bib overalls denoting the surrounding farm lands they all work.
