Master's Message
March, 2010
Brothers;

We have eleven standing on the Entered Apprentice Degree with plans to install four more on the 15th of March.  Please make plans to attend.  Although not confirmed yet, we hope to have more Entered Apprentice Degrees conferred on March 27, 2010 at the Lodge.

Practice to receive the Most Worshipful Grand Master is March 1 with his visit being March 9 beginning with a meal at 6:00 PM.  Our March 5, 2010 Officer Meeting will be brief and we’ll go over receiving Grand Master Charles Johnson once again.  His March 9th visit will be an open one so family, friends, prospects, and other guests are welcome to attend.  Please call WBro. Bob Suggs (303.344.5676) or me to RSVP because we want to have enough food for everyone.

The Lodge Association will be hosting a “Colorado Hold’um” poker tournament as a fundraiser on March 20th, 6:00 to 10:30 PM.  The buy in will be $25.00 per person and anyone 18 years of age or more is welcome to participate and proceeds will help in the continued effort to spruce up the Temple.  The Past Masters of our Lodge will be honored with a dinner on March 23rd beginning at 6:00 PM prior to our meeting.

Fraternally yours,
Marvin Parsons, WM
 

For all dinners please RSVP to the WM at 303-693-5544 or WBro. Bob Suggs 303-344-5676.

    I would like to take this time to thank all Brothers for taking Lodge Offices for 2010.  I’ll do my best to serve our Lodge and would like to say thanks again to Worshipful Brother Richard Brown for his fine year.
    Also thanks to all Past Masters for being around and filling in for us.  We need your help to keep Aurora 156 on the right path.
    Thanks to WBro. Robert Brewer for installing our 2010 officers.  Thanks to WBro. Norm Lane for being Installing Marshall and WBro. Jim Hickman for his work as Installing Chaplain.

December, 2009
Brothers;
    This will be my last Message as the Master of Aurora Lodge #156.  It has been a Great Honor for me to serve this Lodge as Master for the past year.  We have had a lot of growth in Membership, improvements to the Lodge building, both inside and out.  I am humbled by all of the Brothers, Friends, and Families, who stepped forward to help anywhere they could, to assist with all that we accomplished in the past year.  My thanks to all of you who have been willing to help any and everywhere needed.  From cleaning out the plumbing, to building and ground maintenance, Mentoring new Brothers, Posting, and working with new prospects.
    Aurora Lodge #156 is on a path to doing many good things in the coming years.  We have brought in New Brothers and brought back some “old” Brothers.  And have many new prospects for membership waiting.  I take Great Pride in being able to say that I am a member of such an outstanding group of men, as you are.  I am sure I will continue to be in the future.
    We should never forget to thank  “our ladies” wives, girl friends and significant others for their support and the part they play in our Masonic lives.  Without their support we would not survive.  I would like to thank all of my officers for their strong support.  And wish the best to next year’s officers.  The next meeting December 8th will be election of next year’s officers and all Annual reports as required.  [refer to officers’ handbook]
REMINDER: There will be a practice for the 3rd Degree Saturday November 28th at 10 am.  The Degree will be December 5th at 10 am at Aurora Lodge.  Harmony Lodge #61 will join us in a joint presentation to raise three brothers.
Installation will be the December 12th at Noon at the Lodge.
    Once again THANK YOU for making my year a Memorable Experience.
Fraternally,
 Richard Brown, WM
