Poker Run for Charity... A Poker Run instigated by Br. Rick Stofer of the Widow's
Son's Motorcycle Club to benefit the 'Power of Pink' cancer support group was held on July 17th. Wyandotte Lodge #3
was one of the check-in stops. The bikers enjoyed the air conditioning, root-bear floats, the air conditioning, a bake
sale to benefit our Jobs Daughters, but mostly the air conditioning. It was a very HOT day. They were very grateful to Worshipful Master John Tritle and his wife Barbara for making
this event a success. John said he didn't know exactly what to expect, but that next year we can be better prepared.
He and Barbara thank everyone who attended and bought baked goods.
Friends of Masons Night... A Friends of Masons Night was held on Monday, July 12th. Prospective
members and their wives along with Brother Masons and their wives enjoyed a very tasty picnic style meal prepared
by our Junior Warden Terry Miles and his wife Jill with help from W:. Jim Briley and wife Shirley. A highly informative
presentation about what it meant to be a Mason was given by R:. David Kinzie.
The Annual Pancake Breakfast... The Annual Pancake Breakfast was held Sunday, June 20th, at the
lodge and had a very enthusiastic turnout. Lots of pancakes, sausage, juice and coffee were enjoyed by the crowd that
showed up from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. The friendly atmosphere of Brothers, their friends and families lasted until
well after 11 o'clock, the time we had set to shut things down. Some were still talking in the parking lot after
closing. This
was a good way to start Father's Day for all the fathers and families that attended. Thank you for sharing this morning
with your Lodge Brothers and their families, it makes all the preparation worth it. With that thought in mind, thanks
to our Junior Warden, Terry Miles, his wife Jill and Senior Deacon Mike Kupsch (also everyone that gave a helping
hand) in making this event a success.
Annual T-Bones Baseball Game Outing... We had a nice crowd representing Wyandotte Lodge #3 who attended our annual
T-Bones Baseball day at Community/America Ballpark. W:. B:. Charlie Stephens, after two years trying, came up with seats
in the shade this year. It was a comfortable day with plenty of action on the ball field. And with a T-Bone's
win it couldn't be more perfect. See you at the Ballpark next year and we'll do it again.
Family Dinner Meeting, March 5th, 50 &
60 Year Awards... A Family Dinner
Meeting was held on March 5th and enjoyed by a large crowd of Brother Masons, their families and friends.
The evening was dedicated to honoring our members who have achieved 50 and 60 year membership during this year. The Grand

over the many years represented by our Honored Guests.
