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:

  • 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.
