Cornerstone at Clarion Public Library

Last Tuesday the Grand Lodge of Iowa held a cornerstone laying ceremony in Clarion for their new Public Library addition. What a great day in November, high of 60 and a little wind and the sun was shining. Seven Sir Knights helped form the lines for the Grand Lodge and though the area for the ceremony was cramped, we still had a procession. Many citizens from the area were in attendance. It was especially nice for me to see Rusty, an old friend who's husband was a very good friend and mentor. My mom spent the afternoon at Rusty's house while Dad, Gene, and I attended opening Grand Lodge. The lodge furnished an oyster stew/chili supper after closing Grand Lodge. It was a fun day.
