Message From the East
BRETHREN;
AT OUR LAST GATHERING WE
HAD THE VERY DISTINCT HONOR OF
HAVING THE DDGM OF GREY
DISTRICT VISIT OUR LODGE. THE
EVENING WAS A MEMORABLE ONE
FOR ALL AND THE MASONIC
EDUCATION THAT WAS PRESENTED
BY BRO. GREG HEATHERS AND W.
BRO. DALE GRAHAM BEING THE
HIGHLIGHT OF THE EVENING.
ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11TH
WE TRAVELLED TO DURHAM LODGE
FOR A FRATERNAL VISIT AND WHILE
THERE THE BRETHREN OF DURHAM
LODGE CONFERED THE THIRD
DEGREE ON BRO. STEVE GABROWSKI.
THE WORK WAS VERY SKILLFULLY
HANDELED BY W. MASTER JOHN BELL
AND HIS BRETHREN AND I WOULD
LIKE TO AGAIN THANK THEM AND
ALL NORTH STAR BRETHREN WHO
TRAVELLED WITH US FOR A VERY
ENJOYABLE EVENING.
ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 16TH
WE ATTENDED OUR ANNUAL
CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY. THIS
YEARS EVENT WAS HELD AT DUAL
ACRES FARM. THE WEATHER DID
NOT CO-OPERATE IN THE WAY WE
WOULD HAVE LIKED, BUT ALL WENT
EXTREMELY WELL AND OUR
COLLECTIVE HATS SHOULD GO OFF
TO BRO. JASON MERVYN AND HIS
CREW FOR A JOB WELL DONE. ALSO
TO DURK AND ALMA DEVRIES FOR
HAVING US OUT THERE AND FOR
BEING VERY GRACIOUS HOSTS.
ANOTHER YEAR HAS COME
AND GONE AND WITH IT ANOTHER
JOURNEY BEGINS. IN JANUARY, WE
WILL BE MEETING TWICE TO DO THE
GOOD WORK OF MASONRY AND I
WOULD VERY MUCH ENJOY
EVERYONE’S COMPANY WHEN WE
MEET NEXT TO INITIATE ANOTHER
WORTHY MAN INTO THE SECRETS
AND MYSTERIES OF FREEMASONRY.
COME JOIN US AND WELCOME
IN SOME NEW MEN INTO THE
FRATERNITY.
YOUR FRIEND AND BROTHER
ALWAYS,
CECIL RAWN – W.M.
