Companions, today the Grand Officers had the honor of rededicating the apartments of Hicksville Chapter #188. Hicksville Chapter is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The Lodge is upstairs over a hardware (I believe) and is beautifully maintained. The walls are painted with murals and and the furniture is excellent.
All of the Grand line, with the exception of the Grand Secretary and Tresurer were in attendance. We were informed that this was the most Grand Officers, Symbolic Lodge or Royal Arch, that had ever been in the Lodge at one time.
After the ceremony we were treated to refreshments of ham salad and home made vegetable soup. The ham salad was good but the vegetable soup was great.
Our Grand Guard, REC Bill Young, has never been in a vehicle that he could not sleep in and my van is no exception. Thankfully the seat belt kept him from falling out of his seat and hurting himself. According to Bill, he was just resting his eyes for a minute.
All in all it was a great day for a drive, a fine rededication and wonderful fellowship.
