My Brothers,
What a wonderful St. John’s Day! The Ronald J. Keel Fellowcraft Club really put their best foot forward this year. Bro. Donald Monheim, our President, did a wonderful job organizing and getting the Brothers and their guests out and in force. We welcomed two of our Brothers from Livingstone Lodge all the way from Colden and had many wonderful guests that were interested in sharing the day with us. With 25 Brothers and guests this was a very successful St John’s Day.
It started grey and rainy but ended as one of the nicest days I have seen this summer. The food was our finest yet. For $25 you would be hard pressed to find a steak as fine or it cooked so well as with Bro. Dennis McMullen at the grill. It was magical! One of the finest steaks I have had. After our celebratory feast we ventured over to the “Eternal Flame” hiking trail . This hike has turned into a tradition over the years we have had the St. Johns feast at Chestnut Ridge. With the rain this year the creek levels were much higher and with the flame flickering behind the flowing waterfall it was a true demonstration of the harmony found in nature. As in past years the Brothers climbed the rock-face that overlooks the falls. Seems this year Bro. Bryaton West had a bit of scare, falling some 50 feet but quickly spring back up as if nothing happened. A true feat! I also hear there were some spirited games of Can-Jam had.
A wonderful event and it gets better each year. I look forward to seeing more Brothers and guests out next year to share in this wonderful day. More pictures to follow on the R.J.K site (fellowcraftclub.org.) Thanks so much to Bro. Jerry Kong for his work as photographer. He is a wizard behind the camera.
