Note: Unity Lodge here in Thorndike, has at the present time the 12th Masonic District Traveling Gavel. Lets be prepared for the crowd that will be after it! It takes at least 5 (five) Brothers to take possession of it, a number of Lodges are after it so lets hope the 12th District Brethren arrive in large numbers..

Note

From Your Secretary: Please help me keep the records straight by informing me of any change of address, change of status, etc. It also helps if you send your dues payments in early so that I do not have the extra burden of chasing delinquent members. … 2006 Dues Cards are available…. I am basically a lazy person and I do not want to be required to sent out correspondence to members regarding past due payments. Please have the courtesy to answer any correspondence that I send so there is no duplication of effort. Thank you to the Brethren who enclosed a donation along with their dues. If you need an application to give to someone you feel might like to join the craft, please obtain one from the Secretary or any of the Officers.

Masonic Thoughts

Consistency

An acquaintance seated next to R.J. Wrigley on a flight

to Chicago asked the multimillionaire why he continued

to advertise his chewing gum when it was far and away

the most successful product in its field.

Wrigley replied, "for the same reason that the pilot keeps

this planes engines running even though we’re already in

the air."

The opportunity that God sends does not wake up him who sleeps.

-------Senegalese proverb

 

 

 

Masonic Bits and Pieces

Perspective

 

Changing one thing for the better -- is worth --

More than proving a thousand things are wrong.

If a task once begun, Never leave it till it’s done.

Be the labor great or small, Do it well or not at all.
