From the East of Garden City Lodge:
Dear Brethren,
Are last meeting turned into a very full evening when we encountered a “Mini Step-up Night” with superlative degree work from all of our junior staff of officers. The floor work was seamless and ritual was crisp and clean. My highest praise goes to Bro. Christopher Kelley and Bro. Ryan Arnold for there fine execution of their floor work as well as all of their ritual. Kudos are to be presented to our Senior and Junior Stewards who stepped up this evening as well; Bro. Richard Stevenson and Bro. Jeff Kennen who filled in at the last moment, all they were a shining example of a “being ready to go” when called upon by the Master.
I would like offer high praise to of our Junior and Senior Wardens for their fine ritual, being that was Bro. Donald LaLiberte’s premier attempt at the first-degree lecture and as always he “knocked it out of the park.” The Junior Warden has also informed me that in an attempt to better manage our accounts we are trying several different caterers on lodge night; he is looking for feedback on each experience. Please be so kind as to forward all comments, good and bad, to him via the information listed on the back of this notice.
I would like to offer a special “thank you” to Wor. Joseph Goldstein for his excellent rendition of the Four Cardinal Virtues. Congratulations, to Brother Francis Anthony Kelly on his fine execution of his third degree exemplification. I would like to welcome our newest Entered Apprentice. My Brother, when I mentioned to you during your Masonic journey has just begun it was truly and understatement and given its course and time I am sure you will find that it will be an experience of a lifetime.
I would like to reiterate some upcoming scheduled events. Our next meeting will be a “Ladies Night,” we will be going straight through our second degree work next month and be able join our loved ones on or about 7:00PM for what should prove to be a fabulous dinner and conversation.
Along with a scheduled fraternal visit from R.W. Paul Bushey, this dinner we will be visited by Miss. Jenn-Ann Caruso who the will represent our newest Masonic chapter in the Newtonville Apartments, The Rainbow Girls. She and her entourage will be enlightening us on the wonderful opportunities that the Rainbow Girls have to offer for young ladies ages 11-19.
Due to the scheduling of the upcoming religious calendar our Table Lodge is slated for April 8th and as we have in the we past we will be joined by Palestine Lodge and Boylston Lodge, I hope to see you all there and I am sure that a good time will be had by all. Regretfully; I must inform that those Brethren who have not fulfilled their financial obligations regarding Lodge Dues will not be able to attend the evening festivities. Please be so kind as to attend to this matter at your earliest opportunity.
In closing, please be sure check out the new and exciting interactive website that is offered by the Grand Lodge called www.educatemasons.org; it is extremely informative and answers many questions that you might have about Freemasonry.
Fraternally,
