Coming events.

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 let 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
Change
The story of little Mary illustrates one way
in which change brings growth. One day in
Sunday school she was asked, "Who made you?"
After a moment’s reflection, the little girl replied,
"Well God made part of me."
"Part of you?" The teacher was startled.
"God made me very little," she explained,
"and I grew the rest myself."
Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle
---Thomas Jefferson
Masonic Bits and Pieces
Perspective
To the new baby — who will show his or her parents
the perfect example of minority rule.
Always listen to experts.
They’ll tell you what can’t be done
and why. Then do it.
