Master’s Message

Brethren,

 

It is with a heavy heart that I report that Worshipful Brother Jack Gilmore passed away on September 8th.  He was a really good man, who will be sorely missed. A combined Masonic, Easter Star and Elks memorial service was held on Friday, September 11th. WorBro Tom Traver conducted the Masonic service attended by more than 30 Masons. Keep Jack’s wife, Irene, and their families in your prayers.

 

Congratulations are in order for Brother Juan Muriel was initiated on September 15th and Brother Rocco Motta was raised to the sublime degree on September 28th.

 

Brother Dan Spaulding received the Mason of the Year Award from the Grand Master on September 26th.  A well deserved honor.

 

I again ask that any Master Mason that has given his proficiency in the Third Degree please contact the Senior Warden for assignment as a candidates coach.  It is truly a rewarding experience.

 

WorBro Roy Youngblood and I will be attending Grand Lodge on October 2nd thru 4th.  I will report the events which occurred at Grand Lodge at our October Stated Meeting.

 

At the September Stated Meeting two resolutions were presented to the Lodge. The first will increase the dues by $10.00 per year. The second will provide the Secretary directions on what to do when a members who was Suspended for Non-Payment of Dues requests reinstatement. Both will be discussed and voted upon at our October 5th meeting.

Fraternally,

John Brooks

Worshipful Master

 

From The Secretary’s Table

Brethren,

 

With the death of Worshipful Jack Gilmore our own mortality is brought into clear focus. None of us know when we will see our last sun set.

 

None of us know when we will have that last opportunity to see our loved ones and friends, when we will have that last opportunity to tell them that they are loved and appreciated. For we do not know when we, or they, will be called home to that house not made with hands by the Great Architect of the Universe.

 

My regret is that I did not take the time to thank Jack for his devotion to God, his service to our country, his faithfulness to his family, his commitment to our fellow creatures, and his loyalty to our fraternity.

 

Thank you, Jack, and farewell until we met again.

Fraternally,

Roy Youngblood, PM

Lodge Secretary
