Trestleboard For May 2008
Lodge Calendar | Birthdays
From The East
Brethren:
Time flies. I hope this finds you all well. May will
be a busy month for Masonry in Northern Virginia and for Springfield
Lodge in particular. I ask you to support your lodge by attending
or participating in as many activities as your cable-tow allows.
On our stated meeting we will present a 50 Year Veterans
Award to our Brother Bennie Bough. We have a lot to thank our elder
brethren for what our fraternity is today. In their youthful years,
they worked in the quarries; now in their sunset years their work
and wisdom is to be appreciated. We will also have three called
communications for degree work. On the 13th we will raise a candidate
to the sublime degree of Master Mason, on the 20th we will pass
a candidate to Fellow Craft, and on the 27th we will initiate at
least one new candidate. Those of you who have worked with these
good brothers know their enthusiasm for the Craft is infectious.
Please make every effort to attend and participate.
Brethren, your lodge needs your support. We need more
members to learn parts to assist in the degree work and we are in
real need of catechism coaches. If you’d like to learn a part
or need to knock the rust off of one you had learned, please see
Worshipful Bob Somers, our LIW and DIW. Again, every last Wednesday
of the month is our District Instruction of Work School at our lodge
starting at 7:30. All line officers are expected to be present and
Master Mason are encouraged to attend.
Special emphasis is being given to the W. H. Wood
Ritual School which is being conducted this month on the 10th. It
will be held at Springfield Lodge starting at 8:00 A.M. Take advantage
of this great opportunity to learn and understand the Craft. All
Officers are expected to attend and participate; all Master Masons
are welcome to attend this educational event. Members of District
1-B will exemplify the FC degree. Please make an effort to attend.
Thanks to RW Marty Heaster, WB John Pearson and Bro.
JW Peter Terrill for a very nice presentation of Cleopatra’s
Needle at Manasseh Lodge #182 on April 18.
Looking ahead, on June 7th we will honor our ladies
on “Hawaiian Ladies Night” at Springfield Lodge for
their unconditional understanding and support. Please bring your
wife, daughters, mothers, sisters, and other ladies in your life.
Attire will be Hawaiian. We will start at 6:00PM. Aloha!
Sincerely and fraternally,
Romi
