It was with heavy heart that the Brothers of Elvin E. Helms Lodge No. 926 assembled for our Lodge’s first stated meeting following the death of our Master, Buddy Wallace.  Our Senior Warden, Worshipful Bro. Jason Wallace, presided as Acting Master.  Our charter was draped in Bro. Buddy’s memory.

Worshipful Bro. Dave Regan of Latonia Lodge No. 746 presented Worshipful Bro. Ed Tanner with a plaque honoring his years of service to the Covington Scottish Rite 31^st Degree Team.  Bro. Ed is a 50 year Scottish Rite Mason.

We had a nice turnout of visitors from other Lodges.  We always appreciate our Brothers who make the trip to Petersburg and we try to be sure that our guests feel welcome and at home!
