Headlines: Gender bias creates a deadly outcome for women http://bit.ly/1qeSbd (via @News8Austin) FYI, girls. This is unfortunately factual.
I’m stuck at work until at least 5. This means I won’t reach the meeting until about 6:30. Sorry! We’re picking a jury & it’s slow going.
Actually, it’s looking bad for 5 even. FYI :(
First meeting practice is tonight at 5:30! Don’t forget you binders and schedules!
Masonic Temple offers new kind of scare →
If you like being forced to walk blindly through pitch-black tunnels or being suffocated by 15-foot inflatable walls that hug your body, then I wouldn’t recommend this haunted house.
But if you’re looking for whimsical and creepy insight on some of the most historical buildings in Michigan, then this one’s for you.
It’s Friday night! Everyone have fun tonight & stay safe. We love you.

Isn’t this a neat idea?
Sadly, the Harvest Dance & Festival scheduled for Saturday night is cancelled due to flooding at the Ludewig farm. FYI
SADLY, it looks like the Las Madres face painting on Saturday is cancelled. Just got voicemail while I was outside tidying up storm damage.
In sum, all Gilroy Rbow events for Saturday cancelled due to storm damage. Sorry, girls. Stay dry. It’s still raining out there.

We should do this in Gilroy and/or Morgan Hill, don’t you think? I’m sure people in the neighborhood are curious about us.

As more and more people are using Goodsearch and designating CRFGF as the charity they’re searching for, it’s starting to add up. As Rainbow Girls and supporters of Rainbow, I hope you and your families will all...
Important Message About Tonight
If this weather keeps up, San Jose and Santa Cruz, don’t feel bad about missing the meeting tonight. It took me an hour and a half to get to work this morning. There are accidents everywhere. Please stay safe. We should have a business meeting every term anyway, I am informed, so if it’s tonight, so be it. Gilroy girls who have a shorter drive, if you can come safely, that would...
October Update for Gilroy Rainbow
This is the update which appears in the local Masonic newsletters. Since my audience on the Internet seems to be mostly different than my audience in the newsletters, I thought I would post this article here as well.
Hello, Masonic family! I hope this note finds you all doing well and enjoying the first colorful batch of autumn leaves and pumpkins. As I write, a good rain storm is...
