Tidings From the East

I hope everyone had a pleasant summer while the Lodge has been dark. We are really fortunate to have shared our annual picnic last month with Rocky Mountain PHM No. 1. It is vital as Masons to nurture relationships
between Lodges. It provides us a chance to learn from each other, make new friends, and creates unity and harmony. This is our 2nd year with Rocky Mountain, and we plan to continue our friendship for years to come.

We are going to hit the ground running when we come back on Sep 11th, honoring the fallen from September 11th, 2001. This will be followed by a Fellow Craft degree on Sep 25th for Bro.’s Giuseppe Catanzaro and Kenneth Fields.

On Oct 9th we will conduct an Entered Apprentice degree, and on Oct 23rd we will be hosting Aurora DeMolay, who will show us their Opening and Closing ritual.

Our big finish will be a Master Mason degree on Nov 13th. We will be honoring members at our Awards Brunch and welcoming Grand Master Dave Reynolds on Nov 17th.

I had the honor of being in a platoon known as the “Cowboy” platoon when I was in the Army. We were the tip of the spear, and we got the job done because failure was not an option. I am similarly proud when I look at the achievements of our line of officers. Their hard work shows in our meetings and programs. When you visit, I know that you will have a memorable experience, and their fine work will be music to your ears. I encourage you to please come to a meeting and support the Lodge, and I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!

Fraternally,
Brandon A. Whittier
Worshipful Master
