Quarterly Communication
From the East: |
Fraternal
Greetings Brethren,
Congratulations to our own candidate
and to the
candidate from Moses Michael
Hays Lodge on taking their second
steps in Freemasonry! Thanks again
to
Wors. Sebastian Napolitano
and
David Ferrazzoli for
their kind assistance as acting
Stewards.
As promised,
R.W.
Graeme Marsden
and the
Brethren
of Rural Lodge
came through with a very
generous $500 donation, split evenly
for the two charities of our choice.
We thoroughly enjoyed their return
visit to Garden City Lodge and we
heartily thank them for the
opportunity to participate in such
beneficent charity and especially
for their Fellowship!
Special thanks to
Wor.
Thomas M. Harte,
and all the members of
the Nominating Committee, for their
diligent work interviewing and
proposing a very capable and zealous
slate of officers for GCL’s next
Masonic season! Volunteering to jump
back into a progressive
pillar officer role is a generous
and even heroic thing to do! Thanks
to all of you who routinely do
whatever needs to be done in
order to preserve the Lodge that we
all love. That said, we still need
another Steward to install and
should also have a few associate
stewards and deacons for those
inevitable times when the installed
brothers cannot attend a particular
communication. If you are interested
in participating and believe that
“rejuvenation” is our best way
forward, WE NEED YOU to
become an active member again NOW!
At
our next Regular Communication, we
will be
conferring the Master Mason
Degree on our candidate. Past
Masters who are interested in doing
particular Master’s work should
contact
Wor. Robert Brown ASAP.
Please come and support our
candidate and see him Raised to the
Sublime Degree.
Brother
John Ayotte/Chef Du Jour
finally returns following recent
surgery, to provide a sumptuous,
carved London Broil dinner and it
promises to be another great
night! Please take heed: We are not
ordering any “extra meals.”
Please
get your reservations, including
any alternate meal requests, in
early and do not
expect our JW to chase you for them!
While no one will ever be turned
away, we’ll only be providing PB&J
sandwiches, beverages and possibly
dessert items for those who show
without timely reservations being
made.
We are
again marching as a Lodge in the
Newton Memorial Day Parade on
Sunday, May 29th.
Please
let
R.W. Dana A. Jackson
know if you would like to
march. It’s fun; it’s only
about 1.25 miles and there is no
better show of attachment to and
involvement with our community!
We’ll meet at the Lodge at 2:15 PM
and walk over to Newton North H.S.
parking lot together. Please come
and support this important effort!

Dear Brethren,
It’s that time of the year once
again where letters will be sent in the next two weeks to those
brethren who are delinquent in their dues.
If your dues card does not say 2022 on it, your dues have not
been paid and your dues card has expired as of March 1st.
Please remit your dues immediately to avoid future actions
and additional expense to the Lodge.
It has come to my attention that
many brothers who still use AOL accounts for email may not be
receiving email from either me or the Lodge.
This seems to be a global issue with AOL as they appear to
deem any email containing four or more email address to be spam
despite the sending address being white-listed.
If you have not received email from me or the Lodge lately,
please check your spam filter or contact me.
Thank you.
From the Secretary's Desk:
R.W. Steve Cohn, Secretary
Quick Note on Dues:
Dear Brethren,
The Lodge has been notified that
there will be an increase of $2.00 in Grand Lodge dues for the
2022-2023 Masonic year.
All dues categories will be adjusted accordingly when the bills are
mailed in mid July. ![]() Steve Cohn, Secretary |
What have you done with your gift? |
We have received from the brethren
who have come before us, a gift,
that embodies all that is in the
spirit of our fraternity. This
spirit showcases the principles of
Freemasonry.
It is our responsibility to
take good care of it and make it
grow.
That responsibility is in
your hands.
What is that gift from our
Brethren before us?
It is the legacy of
Freemasonry.
Please share your gift.
