Master’s Message – May 2012

Greetings Brethren:
I would like to congratulate all the Brothers who took part in the Master Masons degree which we did on April 16th. It was a great night and raising 4 brothers to the degree of Master Mason. And it was great to have a number of brothers sitting in Lodge to assist and encour- age our Officers in their degree work. Thanks to all.

Also, I would like to thank everyone that helped out on our Annual Spring Breakfast Buffet which this year in- cluded a Blessing of Bikes and a Blood drive for the RI Blood Bank. It was great to see the brothers participate and pitch in where needed.

The program for the May meeting will be a presentation from DeMolay. It will be an open program for all and I encourage any brother that has a son or sons that our teenagers to bring them along so they to can hear about DeMolay and how it helps to build character in young men.
The meal for that night will be Meatloaf and all the fixings prepared by our stewards. The cost will be $10.00 per person and any teenage boys attending that night will be guests of our Lodge.

A few important up coming Dates:
May 2 is our Stated Communication Dinner at 6:30 pm; Lodge opens at 7:15 pm

Fraternally,
Brother Robert Lyle WM
