Master’s Message – January 2011
Brethren,
I would like to wish all of our Brothers a Happy New Year, and invite you to attend Lodge sometime in the coming year. I know that many of you live a great distance from our meeting place in Oceanside, so I would request you to attend the lodge nearest to the place where you live.
I would like to welcome our new brothers, John Wise and Blake Lynch who were initiated on December 13th. We also have one more candidate, Jessie Heisler, who will be receiving his First Degree this month.
The Grand Master’s Project is “By Your Side” with the purpose of assisting nurses to be certified in oncology nursing. The Grand Master, Bill Bray, and his wife, Linda, are both cancer survivors and were helped by nurses with oncology training. The presence of a Certified Oncology Nurse can make an incredible difference in the quality of care, communication with patients and family, as well as the management of the fight against cancer. I would also hope that each of you, individually, would support this project to the best of your ability. I am planning events that will show the lodges support for this very worth while project. The first will be an afternoon poker tournament at 3 PM on Saturday, January 22nd at the home of our Sr. Stewart. For a $30.00 entry fee, snacks will be provided, and prizes for the last three chip holders.
I have included in the budget money for the lodge to comp your dinner prior to the stated meeting in the month that you were born. I am doing this as an incentive, in these financially hard times, to get you to come to lodge at least once this coming year. I hope that I will have the opportunity to greet you several times in 2011.
Fraternally,
Drew Middleton
Master
