From the Secretary

I held a practice session on January 12th in Grand Lodge for the new EAs. We also saw the 1st 2 parts of the L.S.O.M.E. For those who attended, I want to say I was impressed on your proficiency so far and am sure you will be ready for the 2nd Degree. For hose who did not come, I hope you are studying. I will hold another practice session in my home before the Degree. I expect all to attend.

 

FROM THE EAST

Brothers,

     Thank you for joining and sharing with me my other passion, Martial Arts at our last meeting. For a January meeting the turn out was great and went into the second tier.

      This February meeting will be back to business and RW Weigert, W. Grado and the Trustees will give the reports to us. I have asked Brother Pope to do a lecture if we have time after the Shriner’s lecture.

      The Fellow Craft Degree will be led by Past Master Curico and the Q&A by those who have been contacted such as Brother Gonzalas and Brother Hall. Other assignments went out by email and in the Bulletin

      As a Brotherhood of a charitable organization I ask of your help in joining me to raise funds for the US Marine Corps Devil Dogs in their fight against Traumatic Brain Injuries. I feel this is a good cause and one of many. Hopefully we can address ourselves to other causes one cause at a time like Cancer, Leukemia, St Judes etc.

      It is my pleasure to serve you as Worshipful Master because you are all so willing to participate and contribute. TEAMWORK. Yeah Team.

It is also great to see past masters return and be there to fill chairs when someone cannot make it. Yeah Past Masters!

 Thank you all and don't forget Valentines day and tell someone you love them It maybe the last words they hear
