Consolidation Meeting
Mechanics Lodge #66 with Star in the East
Lodge #60

The meeting came to order
at 6 PM with the following brethren in attendance:
Randy Adams, Robert
Gillahan, Donald Rogerson, Chester Davis Jr., Carleton Sanborn, Peter Danforth,
Jamie Campbell, and Bill Reese.
The following items were
discussed:
- The building which
currently is owned by the Mechanics lodge entity will be sold. They have
been offered a sizeable amount at various times in the past and the brothers
feel they will have no trouble selling this building. The building is listed
on the National Historic Register.
- All assets will be
transferred to the new lodge located in Old Town. One stipulation to this is
a statue located in the park in Orono will be fixed up with some of the
money from Mechanics Lodge.
- Notify brethren at
next stated meeting at both lodges. Vote to send out notices notifying
brethren of the consolidation.
- Vote to be taken
March 27, 2006 at Star in the East Lodge.
- Vote to be taken
April 5, 2006 at Mechanics Lodge.
- Committees will need
to be formed for the new lodge. Some committees are as follows:
- Bylaw
- Help, Aid and
Assist
- Building
- Name
- WB Carleton Sanborn
and RW Robert Gillahan (the secretaries of both lodges) drafted a letter to
send to the Grand Master notifying him of the proceedings.
- A date for the next
meeting was set for February 13, 2006 at 6PM at the Old Town lodge site. The
Orono brethren will furnish refreshments for the next meeting, as Old Town
did tonight.
- Meeting adjourned at
9:15 PM.
