Note; Messalonskee Lodge in Oakland, has at the present time the 12th Masonic District Traveling Gavel. Lets make the effort to get it at their next Stated meeting the 17th May 2005 Third Tuesday of the Month. It takes at least 5 (five) Brothers to take possession of it, a number of Lodges are after it so it may take more then five of our members.

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. At present there are 6 members with-out their current dues card. Equals $300.00 Outstanding to the Lodge. Brother if you do not have a 2005 dues card you are delinquent.. I am basically a lazy person and I do not want to be required sent out a lot of 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

If at first you do Succeed

Try something Harder

The difference between a successful career and a

Mediocre one sometimes consists of leaving about

Four or five things a day unsaid.

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

--Margaret Thatcher

 

 

 

 

 

Masonic Bits and Pieces

Perspective

The way my wife finds fault with me,

You’d think there was a reward

Those who work out our federal budget

Have a policy–

Really a honey–

We shall live on our national income,

Even if we must borrow the money!
