TRESTLEBOARD
The June 2010 issue
of the
McHenry Lodge No. 158 Trestleboard newsletter
is now available. Starting with this issue the Trestleboard
is being distributed electronically to reduce Lodge expenses and
conserve our natural resources. If you are already receiving Cable Tow
email alerts you are automatically subscribed to the electronic
version. If you are not getting Cable Tows (AND
WHY NOT?)
you can still receive the eTrestleboard by completing the
subscription form on our
Subscription Management page.
Better still--sign up for the Cable Tow at the same time!
The eTrestleboard
was emailed June 1st. -- The printed
Trestleboard was mailed June 2nd.
If you feel you must have a printed
& mailed copy you can change your subscription options on our
Subscription Management page.
This will cost the Lodge money and impacts the
environment so... think twice!

We raise this
website through the industry of many and
rededicate it to all the Brothers that have
come before us.
Furthermore,
we ask that you have faith that we will do
our level-best to plumb the depths of
Freemasonry so that we may cast greater
light on the mysteries contained within
our fraternity.
Furthermore,
we hope that you will have patience as
we square ourselves to the task of expanding
this site into a source of Masonic knowledge that
encompasses not only our Lodge happenings but
also the history and traditions of our
fraternity.
Furthermore,
we are relying on your charity to help us
provide both the questions and the answers
emblematic of a Mason seeking to enlighten
both himself and others. Please send anything you
deem worthy of inclusion on this Masonic site to the
webmaster. We appreciate all contributions.
Furthermore,
if you are not yet a Mason, but are interested, we
direct your attention to our FAQ
page. If you would like more information after
reading the FAQ please request a contact through our
contact page.
Furthermore,
if you are a Brother who would like to visit, we
welcome you to our meetings. Check the
calendar for dates and
times.
Furthermore,
if you are a Brother who hasn't been to lodge in a
while: We miss you. Come to a meeting; remember
why you became a Mason those many years ago.
Furthermore,
thank you for visiting our website. Be sure to
check back often. It is our solemn and
sincere hope that we, through this website, can
impart some degree of knowledge about our fraternity
in general and McHenry Lodge #158 in particular.
