Brethren and Ladies,
At our Stated
Meeting on September 1st,
we celebrated Constitution Observance with the singing
of many patriotic songs by Mr. Howard McGlone who was
accompanied on the piano by Patti Leidecker. I enjoyed
Howard’s voice, and all the songs that we so seldom
hear. He had us sing along with the songs that we knew
and read a little of the history of each of the songs
and the historic part that they played. It was a time to
reflect on our history and appreciate all the effort
that went into the Constitution and how much it should
be appreciated.
The presentation of the Hiram Award to
Brother Kenneth Heffley may be the highlight of my year
as Master. This Award is the highest honor that can be
bestowed upon any Member by his Lodge, and Brother Kenny
has always done outstanding work for his Lodge above and
beyond the expected. In the selection of this Award, the
Lodge singles out one who has worked to the best of his
ability to walk in the footsteps of the Master, Hiram.
THERE’S A MIRACLE CALLED “FRIENDSHIP”
THAT SWELLS WITHIN THE HEART, AND YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT
HAPPENS OR WHEN IT GETS ITS START, BUT THE HAPPINESS IT
BRINGS YOU, ALWAYS GIVES A SPECIAL LIFT, AND YOU REALIZE
THAT A FRIEND IS GOD,S MOST PRECIOUS GIFT!!!
KENNY THANKS
FOR BEING MY BROTHER AND MY FRIEND.
I want to thank Brother Clark Johnson,
last year’s Hiram Award recipient for doing such a good
job as Master of Ceremonies for Brother Kenny’s Award
night.
Just a reminder,
October 2nd
will be the opening of the 160th
Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge at 1 pm. There
will be members of the Lodge going every day of the
Grand Lodge Communication and if you are interested in
going please call Brother Ron Malone at the Lodge for
the time that we will meet to car pool over to Grand
Lodge. This year there are some very interesting
Recommendations to be resolved. One thing of interest to
all Masons is that Grand Lodge once again is raising the
per-capita charged per-member; this is one of the
reasons that we are proposing a dues increase for next
year.
Fraternally,
Les Bryan, Master
