Worshipful Master's Message - Nov. 2007 Trestleboard

Brethren,
Our last meeting reminded me of many things I am thankful for including those who attended the November Communication, particularly our Veterans. MANY THANKS my Brothers!

Let us make this month’s dinner with our ladies. In this most joyful holiday season, we will share a ham dinner prior to the opening of Lodge with our families. Dinner will begin at 6:30 PM. In order to make certain there is enough you must con-firm with me the count of who will attend the dinner.

Take a look at some of the pictures and articles on our website, www.stjohns-no2-de.com, Always visit the web for additional information and advance notice of the events. You look to the website for forms for Lodge and Hall Co offers.

This month a repeat winner as Tom Stiles received the Master’s Hat award. Wonder what the Master’s Hat award is; you have to COME OUT to FIND OUT.

One of the ways we keep your dues stable is by fundraisers. We are selling Lodge shirts and other Masonic items. Pictures are on the website and you can email me your information to order them.

A special thank you to Brother James N. Hutchinson, PM who conferred the MM° on Bro. Mark Sturgis, for an outstanding job.

Additionally, thank you to Bro. Wayne Thomas for the repair of the Master’s podium. Although decades old, he was able to restore it to usefulness.

This month we are celebrating 789 years of Masonry. All Masonic birthday celebrants present will receive the blue 'forget-me-not' pin.

May the Great Artificer and Almighty Father bring to you and your family, the blessing of this holiday season.

Fraternally yours,

Herb Atkinson
Worshipful Master
