FROM
THE EAST
Bretheren:
I can tell you that we are off to a
great start for this Masonic year. We had 20 in attendance for our first
stated meeting.
It was a pleasure to see the brethren
and to witness the presentation of the 50-year veterans emblem and
certificate to Worshipful Brother Donald Ford Ritenour. A beautiful
presentation was made by Most Worshipful George Harry Chapin, Past Grand
Master (1999). Worshipful Brother Don had a few memories to share of the
last 50 years of his Masonic travels.
I’m excited this year as I have a
great line of officers who have worked hard and are progressing in their
Masonic knowledge and ritual. I truly wish more members could see their
work. OH, YOU CAN, JUST COME DOWN TO THE LODGE!
Our stated meeting in
February will be the official visit of the DDGM, RW Brother Larry
Alexander. As always it will be a pleasure to receive him in the lodge
and hear him speak of the Grand Masters goals for this year. We will have
a dinner at 6:30 PM prior to the meeting at 7:30 PM. We will also have a
short program by our Newest Master Mason Chasen Peabody on “Early
American Masons”. Please come out and support him.
Our DIW, Worshipful Brother Mike King, has set attainable goals
for our district schools and I hope every Brother would take advantage of
this educational opportunity. The District schools will be held at
different lodges throughout the year. (See the events listing for times
and places).
Our monthly dinners
continue to be a success and I encourage all to attend. Bring a friend
(Masonic or not) and your family. Trip down, just your time, Dinner
$10.00, Masonic fellowship PRICELESS.
In closing if you have not been to lodge recently, please make an
effort to attend wherever you are, you will not regret it. Take some one
with you. Have a great month and stay safe.
Rex Rockhill
Worshipful Master
