FROM THE EAST

I hope everyone is having a great summer,
enjoying vacations, orjust kicking back, relaxing and enjoying life. I’m
also
hoping
that the officers had a little time to spend looking at their cipher book.
|
|
|
|
|
Now it’s time to kick it up a notch and
get with the program for the second half of the year. Meaning ... it’s
time for
Practice,
Practice, and Practice which starts August 20, 2006 at 6:00 p.m.
|

If you were to ask any Master or Past Master,
what gives you a good feeling in Lodge? I’m sure one of the top answers
would
be a full lodge room. When the Master looks around the lodge room and
finds all the seats on the side lines
occupied,
it is a feeling like no other. It seems to work in a positive light, not
just for the Master, but for everyone
involved.
It has a calming affect that causes a more relaxed atmosphere. This in
turn makes everything flow smoothly. I
believe
that is called Peace and Harmony. Help, Aid, and Assist, also comes to
mind for without all the help of the
brethren
this would not be possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Another form of Help, Aid and Assist
happens every 56 days in our Lodge. That would be the Blood Drive for the
American
Red Cross. Our August Blood Drive seemed to do exceptionally well. The
following is an email sent to
Worshipful
Brother Hocknell from the Red Cross Manager:
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The dedication and commitment of these brothers is
outstanding!
|
|
|
|
|
I will again ask the Masters of the 21st
Masonic District for their help. We will be marching in the Septemberfest
Parade
on
Saturday, September 9th. We will be meeting at Penn Bowl in the Acme
Shopping Center on Rt. 49 in Pennsville at
9:45
am. Brethren, we need at least 25 people to march in the parade according
to Masonic By-Law. We also have the
Masonic
Trolley coming. If any of the older brethren wish to participate in the
parade there are plenty of seats on the
trolley.
Come on down and enjoy the day.
|
|
|
|
|
Brethren, please keep in mind on September
6th we will be voting on 4 new candidates assuming the votes go well. The
Entered
Apprentice Degree will be held on the Third Wednesday of September which is
September 20, 2006 at 7:00 p.m.
We
will also be voting on whether or not to start a DeMolay Chapter in our
Lodge. I’m looking forward to seeing
everyone
again.
