MWSA Strategic Plan
Lodge Google Calendars
Please work to keep your Lodge's Google Calendar that is linked to the District #108 Google Calendar up-to-date. With everyone's calendar up-to-date, Brothers from other Lodges will be able to plan to attend more events and meetings around our District. This will take some work on the part of whoever controls the individual Lodge's Google Calendar, but it will be well worth the time investment.
Thank you!
MWSA October Business Meeting
The next business meeting of the District 108 MWSA will be held on Tuesday, October 22, 2019, at Rosenberg Lodge #881 located at 25507 Southwest Freeway in Rosenberg. We will also hold the Briscoe Workshop during that meeting. We hope everyone will be able to attend!
