From The East

Past Masters, Officers,
and Members,

First, I want to thank you all for your contributions to the VA Hobby Cart. I'm sure they will be put to good use. Nice Job!

As you can see I have changed gears and have changed my donation request for casual dress this month. I've been asked by a family member of the craft for help supporting A Hug From Matt.

After a Mom lost her son to a prescription overdose, a local mother carries on her son's legacy ‐ and his spirit of generosity ‐ by helping homeless people and those suffering from addiction in Wilmington.

A Hug From Matt provides nylon bags containing essential items: blankets, gloves, toiletries, and non‐perishable snack, hygiene products and other basic necessities.

I believe several lodges have agreed to support this cause but I want our lodge to shine the brightest. I have always been impressed by the generosity of the members of St, John's lodge No. 2...thank you in advance.

The Gun raffle winners were drawn and Joe Jones won the 12 gauge Beretta & Mike Dickson won the 9MM ammo bundle. Congratulations!!

This Masonic year is coming to a close and we will be going dark for the summer. If you haven't been to lodge this year come and enjoy a night out with your brothers.

As always, I look forward to seeing you all in Lodge. Come out and share friendship, morality and brotherly love.

Fraternally Yours,
W∴M∴ Stephane G. Sabourine,PM

Attest: Robert C. Wright
