APRIL 2006

From the East

Greetings My Brothers,

Fraternal Greetings to you and your families.  Join me in welcoming to the Craft our newest Brothers, Franklin Doyle and Jason Smith. Thanks to the Degree team for their good work on conferring the Degree.    

The 177th Annual Grand Lodge Communication will be held in Orlando, 28 thru 31 May.  The Proposed Legislation and recommendations of the Jurisprudence Committee will be read and discussed at our next stated Communication on May 2nd.

The outdoor Degree is scheduled for the 13th of May and at this juncture we are still looking for a candidate, hopefully one of our Lodges will come through with one. Masonic Association will be held on May 24th at Pineland Lodge No. 86, dinner at 6:30 P.M. meeting to follow.  At our last stated session the Craft voted to go Dark; on July 4th  which is the first Tuesday in July so mark your calendars accordingly.

Regretfully, I inform the Craft of  the passing of our District Deputy Grand Master R:.W:. Doyle R. Watson  who was called to the Supreme Architect on April 19, 2006.  Our condolences and prayers to his wife and family.  P.M. Steve Romeo's wife Jane is recovering from knee surgery and is progressing well.  Keep all of our distressed Brothers and their families in your prayers.

Finally, I leave you with this thought , the first duty and the foundation of a Master Mason is to live and abide by the points of his obligation.  God Bless the Craft

Fraternally yours,

Joseph Mark Manuz
Worshipful Master

From the Secretary

My Brothers,

    I wish to say thanks for those who have paid their Dues.  It does make the job a little easier when the response is to the dues notices is good. 

    The year is flying by and soon another Grand Lodge session will be over and we will have a new Grand Master, and if all goes well he will be from our district.

    I hope to see many of you at The Outdoor degree on the 13th.  Remember it will be in the Middleburg Tux. 

    I would like for everyone to check the Trestle board when received and if there are errors found, Please let me know so that I can straighten them out.  Thanks for your help. 

    I hope all a good month and health to all.
