Brothers:

First let me say that if you did not make the dance in the October meeting, you really missed a great time. Good food, fellowship, fun and frolic were had by all. The music was great the whole show, as you all know, December is installation month and it would really be great to see some of our older members get out and come to the affair. I know it will be a good year next year with the help of the fine Tall Cedars of Montgomery Forest. Hope all are well, I understand the trip was a thing of beauty. Be quick to visit the sick, Ralph Mike Tolley ~rom 'Ifie Junior 'Deputy

Well, I got thru Jr. Deputy night, but not before both my Gavels __.aic:----were whisked away by P.G and Annapolis. ry happy to have representatives from Temple, Annapolis and Har-Ce, as my officers for the evening .. After closing we had a Horse race, with wooden horses that Phil and Sonja Lumpkin made. They didn't go exactly straight as the riders could attest to. The main thing is that fun and frolic was had by all., and that folks, is what it is all about.

October 21,was the Anniversary Dance, this is the only social event that Montgomery has for it's members. Why? Because there was a lack of interest and attendance for the New Years Dance and the Halloween Dance, both of which were very popular IN THE PAST. Well it appears based on MONTGOMERY'S attendance. that the membership wants to get rid of the last social gathering that we have in this Forest. Brothers, please think over you reasons for not attending our affairs, yard sales, Meetings, Picnics, Dinner dances. You are Phantom members of this Forest, we want to see you again, socialize with you again and see you at convention again. Most of all brothers, we need your presence to strengthen our Forest. I intend to push this Organization and this Forest into the Community, by getting involved with the Civic associations. Once the Community knows us we can draw from it's numbers and increase our membership. Ideas are solicited by all officers. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN BROTHERS, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

I am asked more than anything else, "Am I sure there is a heaven?" I am not the one to ask, you should ask in prayer. Our beleief and faith are all we need. My faith leads me to look at the grass, the trees and yes animal life as we know ourselves. How could such things just happen and then there must be more to life than this world. All of us have problems. Don't you think there must be a happier place where our soul can rest. We will wear out our clothes, cars and even our houses in time will decay, but our soul will live on with our creator, this I truly believe. Mary had a very good life, she had more money than she could ever use. She suddenly became a widow. I knew her and her husband, so she came to me for comfort. She said "I can't go on, I'm all alone and it hurts, I miss him so." My first thought was to have her join in a bereavement class at a local hospital. I continued to minister to her explaining how we wear out everything we have. Our bodies are no exception. We must continue our faith and remember we are His only hands, we are His earthly decioles.

CHAPLAIN CON'T PG; 15 Dear Cedarettes: One of the many splendors of life is the Season of Fall with the foliage bursting with every beautiful color imaginable. Fall is also the time of year that the plants and trees shed that foliage to make room for new buds for the next year. This cycle is one that is also followed by our fraternal organizations. This is the time of year that our present officers will be preparing to step aside to make way for the new officers you elect and install to lead the Montgomery Cedarettes next year. Our election of officers for next year will be held at our regular meeting on Saturday, November 18th, and our installation of officers will be held on Saturday, December 16th. We had plenty of activities to keep us busy this past October! On October 5th Montgomery Forest and the Montgomery Cedarettes participated in a 'Lock-Up' which was held in Germantown. We received a credit of $2,500.00 toward the Forest M. D. Fund. John Huff, Norm Clark and Al Spadin represented the Forest, and Janet Clark, Edna Speich, Barbara Ware, Carolyn Tolly and myself represented the Montgomery Cedarettes. This $2, 500. 00 along with the Star Trek in June and the Bay Bridge Walk in May totals $7,235.00 towards the M. D. Fund.

CEDARETTES CON'T PG. I • CEDARETTES: CONTINUED our bus trip to New England was wonderful, Everything went very well. The weather was unseasonably warm for New England this time of year. And the color of the foliage was absolutely beautiful. Nothing but sunshine. I am sure we all gained a few pounds with all that good food. I know I did. Our bus driver, Les Graham from Capitol Forest did an excellant job. Thank you Les. We reserved the back seat in the bus for our refreshments. My thanks to our stewardesses, Beryl Moyer and Pearl Hunt for seeing that everyone on the bus was well supplied with refreshments on the trip up as well as the return trip home. We had eight Tall Cedars and 11 Cedarettes on the trip. The Anniversary Dinner Dance went off especially well. The Chairman, Bob Thomson, did an excellent job of promotion. My guess would be that we had about 160 to 170 Cedars, Cedarettes, Supreme Forest Officers, family and friends in attendance. The dinner was a success thanks to Sonja Lumpkin, Carolyn Tolley and Yvonne Jerman for helping me out. I also want to thank those who brought the door prizes and the sweets for the desert table. On Sunday, October 22, we had a memorial service in The First Baptist Church of Rockville for our departed sister, Grace Armstrong. It was a very inspiring service. We had 16 Cedars and Cedarettes in attendance. Thank you all for coming. Our condolences to husband, Marshall. On December 2nd we will have our Holiday Luncheon at Phineas. Barbara Ware is in charge. She will give us further details. Ladies, do not forget our Executive and Regular Meeting on December 6th. After the meeting we will have our installation rehearsal. Please remember the date!

CEMIETTEI CON'TP N. 1I 9 <1Idmrdh~s '1Ion't The budget meeting, consisting of present and newly elected officers, will be in December. Linda will let me know the date. I will let you know the date in my November newsletter. George Moyer was feeling badly and was admitted to the Seventh-Day Adventists Hospital Sunday October 22nd. I just learned that he was operated on the following day for an Aneurism in his abdominal, a blocked bowel and an impaired circulation in his right leg. He is presently in I. c. u. Hopefully he will be by the time you receive this issue of the Echo. I also just heard that Judy Alexander's sister, Ellen, suddenly passed away in October. Keep the sick in your thoughts, and call on them when yo The look forward to hearing from you. Happy holid and their families. Robert W. Adee Duncan R. Jerman, Jr. Robert K.

CHAPL/\IN CON'T

It took this lady over a year to regain herself to a more normal life. She has heen a widow for over five years and today she is the leader of a bereavement class. She is a true believer today. Before her husbands death I don't think she ever read a bible or knew much about God. What a change.

"We only see a little of the ocean, a few miles distance from the rocky shore. But, oh, out there beyond the eye's horizon there's more, there's more. We only see a little of God's love, a few rich treasures from His mighty store. But, oh, out there beyond, beyond the fifes horizon there's more, there's more."

Oct. 21, 1995 Saturday, Anniversary Dinner Dance was superb. To top it all we had the honor and pleasure to have the Supreme Tall Cedar Michael J. Hlatke III and his wife Marie be with us on this magnificence occasion.

The table arrangement and decorations were very attractive, especially the Grand Tall Cedar's and guests table. The food was outstanding and very tasty. Thanks to Bob Thomson the MC for the evening for a job well done. And thanks to all the cedarettes and cedars for putting it all together so gracious.

The Singing Cedars and their band did a marvelous performance, honoring PGTC 1958 Alexander Desimone. Everyone present enjoyed The Band's music and danced.

We had a fantastic turn-out. A memorable evening to remember.

All those who coordinated and helped to make this a special evening deserved a lot of credit for their hard diligent work.

This is what it is all about Fun Frolic and Fellowship.

To those who were unable to attend they missed a lot.
