Fraternal Greetings Brothers,
I want to apologize for not attending the meeting. At the time my family was still without power. I heard that the Junior Warden prepared another great meal. As I have said, there is no better place to eat on a Thursday night than Boyleston Lodge. You will not get the quality of food for five dollars anywhere in this state. If you haven’t had the chance to eat, you are missing out.
On October 3, 2024, our stated business meeting was held. Thirty-nine brothers were in attendance. The Past Masters and the current and past Grand Lodge officers were introduced. Health and happiness were discussed and prayers were said for those mentioned and not mentioned. Minutes from August, that were dispensed last month, and September were read and approved. There was no correspondence at this time.
Voting then took place for a reinstatement as well as a demit for the same brother. A second demit was also voted on. All were per by-laws of the lodge. RW Ray Boland then thanked all officers and appointees for attending the Wardens meeting at Blythewood.
A berry tree is on the BBQ pit, which the Worshipful Master said he would handle. The secretary and treasurer gave their reports and were both in accord. There will be no work this month. There is an Awards Night on October 17, 2024. Please attend and enjoy a good meal and support the awardees. October 24 will be a Past Master meeting. If you are a past master please attend. This will begin at 6:30 p.m..
In these times of heartbreak, tragedy, and worst situations of Mother Nature, please remember to aid in relief of you fellow brothers. Be the example that masons wish to be. Check on each other. It is times like these where your mettle as a man and mason shine through.
Respectfully,
Steven Lourigan Senior Warden
