Fulton Friendship Holds Table Lodge

Friday, November 9th, 2007

A relatively small but dedicated, and above all hungry, group of brethren eagerly participated in the First Not Necessarily Annual Fulton Friendship Table Lodge, held on November 9th. The lodge was opened by WM Lenny Scott, and the other attendees were Brothers John Chooljian, Rick Farraj, Bill Flynn (visiting from William L. Daniels Lodge), Carlos Fonseca, Lucas Hoogduin, Valentin Krupelev, Gene Muller, Tom Rensvold, Bobby R., Walter Seidel, Rob Valas, Luis Valls, and Fred Wien. The participants were very fortunate to feast on a magnificent meal of roast beef, ham, ziti with tomato sauce, and other delectable dishes expertly prepared by Brothers Rensvold (Chief Chef), Bobby R., and Valls. The closely-tyled event naturally included the proper Masonic furniture, ritual, and toasts, including one delivered in Dutch by Brother Hoogduin. A very splendid time was had by all. All present unanimously voted to repeat this vital ritual - for the good of the lodge, of course - in the very near future. Stay tuned for further information.
