Here it is December and Christ-mas is right around the corner. How time
flies! It seems just like yesterday that it was January.
You missed a great time by all at the November birthday party
for the pyramid. There was a short business meeting with a new member
initiation, then the social hour with dinner. A good time was had by all,
lots of fun, merri-ment and good food. We had three Su-preme Officer's
in attendance the Mohar of the North, the Supreme Armeses and the Supreme
Lecturer as well and the Junior Past Pharaoh.
The Pyramid was given a mission to perform by the Grand Master
of Cali-fornia and the Pharaoh. The Mohar of the North delivered a gavel
that has to visit all the Blue Lodges in District 5 by October 2002, so
get you Lodge visiting clothes ready. Sciot Schroeder, will make a case
for the gavel. We will be de-livering the gavel to Modesto 15 at the OV.
I will be getting a visitation schedule out in the next couple of weeks
I would like everyone that can to attend our visi-tations. Lets really
show the Blue Lodges that Sciots are there for them.
December and January stated meetings dinners will be potluck.
Please, Please call my Lady Carolyn at 209-951-1109 and let her
know what you will be bringing. There will be a nominal cost,
gota pay the rent.
December will be the starting time for those of you that want
to be part of a Sciot Second Degree Team or "side-liners" for the degree.
Take some time and let me know what part you want. This is a great way
to get everyone to know about Sciots. Don't forget that "from you
come our new members". Bring a Friend - Have them leave a SCIOT
! One of the messages that I would like to get out to every
one is: Where is Sciots going this year? How do we plan to get there?
And, How can each Sciot help?
The first thing I want all of us to do is bring in new members. We can
all do this through talking to the members in our lodges and visitations.
What you can
do and I can do is be good Sciots, talk about Sciots and visit the Blue
Lodges as a group. The traveling gavel is one way for us to start the
visitations.

Ladies,
I thought I would make a few comments to let you know about
our dinner plans for December and January. December's dinner will be a
potluck. I was able to speak to only a few of you at November's meeting,
so please call me at 951-1109 or email me at clwcarolyn@yahoo.com and
let me know what you would like to bring. We need main dishes, salads,
side dishes (potatoes, pasta, veggies), bread, appetizers, and desserts.
Please bring enough to serve 10 or more to in-sure that there is ample
food (our guys get hungry). Our dinner for January will also be a potluck,
but we are going to try a soup (chili, stew, etc.) and salad (any kind)
theme. I will have a sign up sheet at the December meeting. I mentioned
briefly at the October meet-ing that my goal for the year was for the
Ladies Club to make a positive contribu-tion to our community. Come to
the De-cember meeting with your ideas and hopefully, we will be able to
agree on a project at that time. I look forward to seeing each of you
soon.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Ward

Weather permitting, the Board is implementing a monthly work detail at the Sciots Hall. This will normally be scheduled for the 2nd Saturday of each month. The 2nd Saturday of November is Supreme Sessions so the work party will be on the 1st Saturday, November 3rd.
Everyone is encouraged to participate in whatever way that they can. There is yard work that constantly needs doing, as well as general cleanup. If you have expertise in plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting or any other area we have many, many projects that need to be accomplished and we encourage you to adopt one now. Remember that we are all owners here and it is in our own best interest to maintain the facility.
Fraternally,
Ken Edwards
