Note: Messalonskee Lodge in Oakland, has at the present time the 12^th Masonic District Traveling Gavel. Lets make the effort to get it at their next Stated meeting the 21^st June; 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.

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 13 members with-out their current dues card. Equals $750.00 Outstanding to the Lodge. Brother if you do not have a 2006 dues card you are delinquent.. I am basically a lazy person and I do not want to be required send 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.

IRISH BLESSING

May there always be work for your hands to do,

May your purse always hold a coin or two,

May the sun always shine on your windowpane,

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain,

May the hand of a friend always be near to you,

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Speek softly and sweetly. If your

Words are soft and sweet, they won’t be

Hard to swallow if you have to eat them.

I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I

got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned

in seven years.

He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.
