Go Orange!

The Michigan Masonic Charitable Foundation has for years held reunions for Michigan Masons in Florida and Arizona, these are tremendous events. I really enjoyed both of these this year. This year the Board of the Foundation decided to add a third reunion, Tennessee!
Music to my ears, I spent summers as a youth in the Volunteer State and have loads of memories. My family is spread across the entire State and so were my summers.
The demographics tell us Tennessee has a great concentration of Michigan Masons in and around it.
So, Friday I'm off, it is about an eight hour driver from my office to the Nashville area hotel.
Saturday is the luncheon, it was well attended and all in attendance seemed to have a good time. I really like spending time with Masons.Both Walt and Cindy made presentations at lunch, great job! I think it is important for members to know exactly what they belong too, three separate corporations. Each corporation does good work within our community. Every one of these events seems to open some eyes of the attendees.
For my contribution I was able to present several service awards to our transplanted members.
Sunday is the coming home travel day. I couldn't sleep, up at 0-dark-thirty and on the road.
Two ancillary events for me, Saturday having supper with Cindy Bosley the boss at Masonic Pathways and Walt Wheeler the boss at the Foundation.
On Friday I kept Walt up way past both of our bedtimes picking his brain and solving all the worlds (at least Masonic world) problems. I was able to get some great insight from My Most Worshipful Brother.
