2nd Arch Kenton Inspection Update

Companions of the 2nd Arch,

The date of inspection for Kenton Council
has been changed to April 1, 2014.

Please update your calendars.

Donor Program

I.C. Henry A. Dodson
Donor Program Chaiman

I.C. Dodson and his little sister both developed Scarlet Fever when he was 4 years old. In later years that had a damaging effect on his heart. His father had a fatal heart attack when he was 66 years old. Henry knew that he was going to have to take care of himself. He became a dedicated runner, did not smoke, was not overweight and watched his diet. But in 1982 at the age of 47, he had a heart attack which led to  open heart surgery.     All went well for fifteen years and then in April 1997 at the age of sixty two he needed another open heart operation. This time things did not go well. He spent all spring and summer in and out of the hospital.     On September 2, 1997 the doctors told him that his heart damage was very extensive and the he probably only had three or fiur months to live. They suggested that he go to the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, for a possible heart transplant. He believed that it was the end for him. The pain and sickness and not being able to eat or sleep were so unbearable that he prayed to God to end it all.     God's answer was "NO". He was placed on a waiting list for six weeks and on October 9, 1997 he received a transplant. The donor was a young man of seventeen.     What it has done for him would be hard to explain. If it had not been for that young man and The Organ Donation Program, he would not have been able to receive the gift of life and tell his story.      Henry has traveled the State of Ohio lecturing to both masonic and non-masonic groups. He has recently received the Senior Citizen of the Year Award from the Medical Advisory Council of Ohio for his volunteer efforts in promoting organ and tissue donations.     Henry and his wife Shirley live in Bellbrook, Ohio. They have been married for more than fifty three yaers and have two adult children. Henry served in the United States Navy and retired from Delco-Moraine with 22 years of service.

The Winning Beard

July 2012 News

Greetings Companions, friends, and guests;

Thank you for visiting the blogspot.  The quarterly newsletter inheriently may not provide up to date information due to dates/times changing for events, so check back often. 

Summer is now upon us; families grilling outdoors, walking the dogs, and simply enjoying the sunsets.

This is our time as a council to reflect on the past year and begin a new one.  Thank you to Illustrious Companion Tim Roth and the line of officers serving this last year.  Now we begin a new year.  Our goals must include growth for you as a companion of your council, events encouraging participation of our families, support of the 2^nd Arch, and support of the Grand Council to include activities promoting and raising awareness for the Diabetic Kids Camp and the campership programs.

First, we will continue to have a program or guest speaker with the carry in dinner beginning at 6:15pm before our regular stated meetings at 7:30pm on the first Tuesday of each month.  Our programs have included magicians, historical lectures, law enforcement speakers, military veterans programs, and costume period enactors with the kids enjoying the magician, swords and armor.

Second, your attendance at meetings and events is not only important but vital for us to continue as a council, and yes one more companion can make a difference.  Mark your calendar now to attend at least one meeting or event per quarter.  We will have our inspection this year in the Super Excellent Master degree and your part big or little will help.  If you have not attended a meeting in the past two years, why not?  The Success of your Council, Findlay #50 depends on you.

Third, communications for council meetings, special events, dinners etc will continue and be expanded through a calling post system which utilizes a phone message sent to the council members.  Please contact me to have these messages sent to you to receive the most up to date information on council activities.

Fraternally,

Ron Drebert
