A strong turnout and a night filled with brotherly fellowship! More than forty brothers gathered as GM William F. Shepard visited Cherokee Lodge No. 66, where he presented the Point Within a Circle, sharing meaningful reflections on how we stay centered in our faith and conduct as Masons.They were honored by the presence of PGM Jan M. Giddens, Past Grand Marshal Rusty Cordell, and a District Deputy Grand Master, who joined in the evening’s warm spirit of unity and purpose.Before the meeting, everyone enjoyed a fine meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, peach cobbler, and vanilla ice cream — lovingly prepared by the ladies of Etowah Chapter No. 30, Order of the Eastern Star.Thank you to all who attended and helped make the evening a success. ...
