Dear Brethern,

The summer months are behind us and we are heading into the last months of the 2010 Masonic year. The Officers and incoming Officers have been working hard in preparation of next year. I am confident that you will be proud of the Officers and their performance of the ritual. So come on out, we look forward to seeing you and if you need a ride or need any assistance, we are only a phone call away.

I am actively soliciting you for any ideas you have in order to enhance your experience within Masonry. We all have great ideas and I would love to hear them. In my opinion, the key to our survival and growth will be how we evolve and adapt to our members needs and wants. One of my goals is to make sure every meeting different next year as well as making sure that we don’t have just another business meeting.

We have a lot of cool events still left this year and we love to see you there. There is nothing like sitting amongst your fellow Masons both in and out of the Lodge. I will leave you with this. “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” - Confucius

Fraternally,

Dear Brothers,

I hope that every one of you had a great and relaxing Summer.

During the last two months the Lodge was dark as far as conducting business meetings, but all the officers continued working hard preparing to perform future Degrees. We should be proud of all of them for their hard work, dedication and desire in making our Lodge the best in our District for Ritual work.

We still have a few events scheduled for this year. One is our annual picnic. It has always been a great success and I hope to see you all at the next one.

We are getting closer to finish the floor in our Lodge room, and when that is completed, our Lodge will be even more beautiful. Please come out and help when the call comes to finish the floor, installing the chairs back up, to clean and paint and do a general clean up. Even if you can’t perform any physical work, your presence will be appreciated and it will be good to see your smiling faces.

In a very few short months we will have the installation of new officers for our next Masonic year. Our work will continue on a straight line and with your input, ideas and participation we will have another great masonic year.

Fraternally yours,
Alex La Croce, JW
