This notice was in my Minnesota Mason newsletter looks like fun.


Texas–Minnesota Reunion in Harlingen,
Texas – February 5, 2011
Minnesota Masons living and wintering
in Texas have enjoyed an annual
reunion in the McAllen-Harlingen area of
South Texas for the past 30 years. Grand
Master John L. Cook, Jr. will continue
that tradition started so many years ago
by attending the session. This gathering
also attracts many Masonic Brothers from
Texas and several Midwestern states,
Canada, and Mexico and is great opportunity
to renew old friendships as well as
making new friends.
The reunion will take place on
Saturday, February 5, 2011, at the Rio
Grand Valley Shrine Club, located 1.5
miles east of LaFeria, at the White Ranch
Road exit off of Highway 83, near
Harlingen. The festivities will start with a
5:30 p.m. social hour with dinner following
at 6:30. All Masons and their guests
are welcome.
Reservations should be made by
January 31st, by calling any of the following
Brothers: Ward Sonsteby, 956-781-
1901; Alyn Dull, 956-787-2257; or Jay
Ipsen, 956-583-9364.
Arizona–Minnesota Reunion in Phoenix,
Arizona – February 7, 2011
Minnesota Masons living and wintering
in the Phoenix area will also have the
opportunity to enjoy a reunion, the 11th
annual Arizona Masonic Reunion. The
event is open to all Minnesota Masons,
Eastern Star members, family members
and other guests. Grand Master John L.
Cook, Jr. will again try to duplicate feelings
of Brotherhood and Minnesota nostalgia
that takes place annually at both the
Texas and Arizona Reunions.
Plans call for the event to take place
on Monday evening, February 7, 2011, at
the Shrine Temple in Phoenix, 5:00 p.m.
social hour and 6:00 p.m. dinner. It is certainly
hoped that those who have enjoyed
this event for the last several years in the
Phoenix area will again make plans to
attend.
W. Brother Ben Holt (e-mail:
Hholtsb@cox.net) is working on the
remaining details for the program this
year. We hope to award a few fifty year
pins and perhaps honor the widows of a
few of our departed Brothers. If you are
interested in attending, please call the
Grand Lodge office at 800-245-6050 or
via email at grandlodge@qwest.net and
we will see that you receive all the details
as they are finalized.

That's very neat. It's always great to meet brothers from all over! Wish it was closer to me.
