Greetings Brethren,
family, and friends to the December Lodge Notice. I hope that each
of you found time to enjoy a great day with family this past
Thanksgiving. For the first time ever, Carol and I went to a
restaurant for Thanksgiving and I chose to not have Turkey ... and
enjoyed every mouthful of this new tradition for us ! Our November
meeting was our Annual Brother Bring a Friend Night and it was a
wonderful evening. We had four prospective men as our guests that
evening. We all enjoyed a meal and they had a chance to learn about
who we are and some of the things we do.
R:.W:. Joe Passaretti, Grand Director of Ceremonies, gave a
wonderful speech on who the Masons are and had a movie to show us.
The movie was one I have never seen and by the rapt attention being
given it by all in attendance, I think it was new for most all
attendees that evening. Thank you R:.W:. Bro. Passaeretti on
assisting in bringing light to the Brothers of Collabergh-Radium and
our friends. It looks as though we will have a class of four ready
to start degrees in January. With that in mind, I am pleased to
announce that W:. James Kyriazis has accepted my request to be our
Lodges Degree Coordinator, which is different from being the Drama
Director currently being done by R:.W:. Mark Fytros. Brother
Kyriazis has always had a
high interest in the importance of good degree work, and clear
information on rehearsals and development of newer Brothers in
degree work and will be perfect in this new role for the Lodge. Our
December Lodge meeting will be the review of reports on petitions
and voting upon these petitions, as well as reviewing any end of
year reports as required in our by-laws. The end of January will
bring our Lodge's annual post holiday dinner ... to be held at
.....? The Reef, where we have gone for a number of years, is
undergoing a major renovation this winter and will be closed for a
few months. Any and all Brethren attending our December meeting are
welcome to make recommendations on a new location for this dinner.
If you have a recommendation, please find out if they have a private
room for 50 people guaranteed, at a price no greater than $40.00 per
person. As always, I hope to see you in Lodge, until then, stay well
and may you and your family have a wonderful Holiday season. |
