The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at the Stated Communication
December 3rd and December 17th 2018

                                                                                   FROM THE EAST:

My Brothers, as the end of the year approaches it is a time to take a look at all the things our Lodge has accomplished. You, the Brothers of our Lodge have much to be proud of. Know Brothers, you are the Lodge. It’s not the building or the location, and it is not the officer’s .It is you, who are the Lodge with your fellowship and ability to work together. I was told by a visiting Brother that he comes to our Lodge because he feels like a true Brother of our Lodge when visiting, and the warm reception he gets when he has the opportunity to attend. That says a lot about all of us as a Lodge. We have made many improvements to the lodge this year; but hearing a Brother from another Lodge say that we are a warm and inviting lodge is worth more than the material things we have done to our Lodge. We have been unfortunate to have lost many of our Brothers to the Celestial Lodge above, but we will not forget them. We carry on as I am sure they would want us to. The Lodge has gained some new, younger Brothers. They are our future and we need to keep them interested and involved. They have much to teach us as we have to them. How do we generate interest so younger people take a good look at what we are? More importantly, what we can offer them. I truly believe that becoming more involved with our communities will pay big benefits letting people know that we are still trying to making good men better My brothers, spread the word about our fraternity and just maybe we can stem the tide of declining membership and leave a living legacy for our children and their children . We are Master Masons, proud and steadfast but most of all we are Brothers. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your time with your families and friends.

Mark E King, Worshipful Master

Learned texts, publications, jurisdictional content (Monitors from other states), etc. All is welcome! As a permanent reading and research library for our lodge, a record of donations will be maintained and donors acknowledged.

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at the Stated Communication
November 5th,, 2018 and November 19th, 2018

FROM THE EAST

Brothers, we have just initiated 4 new Entered Apprentices to our Lodge. Thanks to R:.W:.Tom Aiken and all the Brothers who put on a great degree, and who took the time to practice, and make it an outstanding success. The lodge is having a raffle for an Apple I pad with tickets that are $5.each, or 5 tickets for $ 20. The drawing will be held at our breakfast in December. We have tickets available in the secretary’s office and officers of the Lodge have them also. Please help get them sold. Nominations for 2019 officer’s positions have to be submitted to the Secretary by the start of the first meeting in November, They are opened to all Master Masons who are members of new Smyrna Lodge No 149. The Lodge is planning on honoring our veterans by offering them free dinner at our November on 5th Stated Communication. The breakfast in October had to be canceled due to the lack of available Brothers to participate. We are planning to have a breakfast on Saturday November 24th from 7 to 11 am. Brothers, this has been on the Lodge calendar from the beginning of the year. Be sure to be there to help make it a success and support your Lodge. The lodge has had many improvements this year thanks to some very dedicated Brothers who have given their time and effort to see them through. I am aware of another task that needs attention and requires help from all the brothers to get it done. Our lodge is need of an all out cleanout. We have acquired a buildup of many old an out dated material around the Lodge that are in need of disposal. This, my Brothers is not a pleasant task, but I would like to see it done before the end of my year. The Senior Warden has taken on this task of seeing it get done. But he cannot do it alone, nor should he have to. He is planning on setting up a date, now that it has turned cooler to get this project done. He will have a signup sheet so please, let’s get this done. Thank you my brothers your assistance, it is very much appreciated. Mark E King, Worshipful Master.

FROM THE WEST

Greetings Brothers, From: Wayne D. Anderson Subject: Sunday Masonic Paper No 896 – Freemasonry and the Chinese Bamboo Tree Freemasonry and the Chinese Bamboo Tree W.Bro. Bill Hosler, PM Not long ago I saw a video of a motivational talk given by a man named Les Brown. In this talk, Mr. Brown began to explain how a person’s life and their success is like growing a Chinese bamboo tree. The Chinese bamboo tree isn’t easy to grow. In order for the tree to grow, the ground in which the seed is planted must be watered and fertilized every day without fail for five years, but the tree doesn’t sprout until the fifth year. After that five years, the grower’s patience and hard work are rewarded when the tree grows over ninety feet tall in that fifth year. Brown explains in the video how many people will allow the tree to die because they get discouraged doing all that work, spending all the time fertilizing the soil and watering the seed without seeing any progress from all their labors. After all that time, they have spent so much doing the necessary work in order for the tree to sprout without seeing any progress. They begin to lose faith in the process or their own abilities, or even worse, they begin to listen to naysayers and the tree dies when they give up the hard work needed to make the tree come alive. In today’s Microwave society where we want to start out at the top of the heap and success is assured, many of us will become frustrated when the goal we want to reach or the objective we have in mind doesn’t happen right away or fails to fall into place on the first attempt. Many times we get frustrated or dejected and we begin to listen to that little voice in the back of our head, or worse yet, those who don’t want you to succeed because of their
own agendas and prejudices. We give up and move on and the Chinese bamboo tree seed we planted will wither and die because we quit watering and fertilizing the ground in which it was planted. Brethren, in my opinion, Masonic renewal is much like that Chinese bamboo tree. In the decade and a half since I was raised to the sublime degree, I’ve began to get interested in the Masonic renewal movement. I have worked with many dedicated Masons who put their lives and treasure into the Craft with the hope of making Freemasonry grow strong again, and to help it take it’s legitimate place in society. But I also watch them grow weary in their labors and slowly give in to the naysayers who place obstructions in their path. They either don’t see the progress being made or the tree of their labors isn’t sprouting quickly enough, or even worse, their skin gets too thin when dealing with those who wish the Fraternity to stay as it has for the last half-century. Sadly they just throw their hands up in the air and leave our speculative quarries and give up on Masonry. It’s really sad for so many reasons. First of all, in just a few years I have been a Mason there has been tremendous progress, such as the mutual recognition of Prince Hall Grand Lodges (including in many formerly Confederate states), many jurisdictions have begun allowing business meetings on the first degree, more Masonic education is being introduced into lodge settings. In just the last decade and a half, our progress has been beyond what any of us thought could happen, just a decade ago. Every year the Masonic renewal movement continues to make progress, it may not be as fast as many of us wish it would happen, but progress is being made nonetheless. But if we want it to continue to progress we need to continue to work the soil in which we planted that seed so many years ago. Brethren, the Craft needs you. Each one of you to continue to advance and work toward making Freemasonry strong again. For each Mason who leaves our Fraternity is one less man to work in his local lodge, mentor younger Brethren and vote in Grand lodge communications. Like it says in the York Rite’s Virtual Past Master’s degree: “From a grip to a span; from a span to a grip; a two-fold cord is strong, but a three-fold cord is not easily broken.” We are all stronger as a group than we are as individuals. Each one of us has our own strengths and talents given to us by our Creator, whether you are a writer orator, ritualist, builder, cook…each one of us has a place in this Masonic renaissance. No matter who you are, we need you. Each of you is important and hard to replace. Brothers if you know a man who is thinking about leaving the Fraternity, try to convince them to stay and continue their labors. Explain to them how they make a difference to you, the lodge and to the Craft as a whole. If they have already left, try to convince them to come back and rejoin us in our efforts. If we want this fraternity to grow strong again we need each of you, your efforts and support.

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at the

Stated Communication

October 1^st, 2018 and Called Entered Apprentice Degree

October 15^th, 2018

FROM THE EAST

Hello Brothers,

We have again stepped out into the community with our support of the Edgewater Cub Scout Pak # 425. The lodge is now their place to meet and grow. This is our future showing both the scouts and their parents what we do and what part of the community we are. To add to this, the official ribbon cutting announcing to the City of New Smyrna Beach that we are part of the Chamber of Commerce. This is what being a Master Mason is all about. Supporting our community, and its members. For those you who have not been in the Lodge over the summer months, you are in for a very pleasant surprise. The electrical upgrade in the lodge is complete, and it is outstanding. We owe a great deal of thanks to one of our own brothers Art Horton for is dedication and determination to get this completed and close to budget. We will be starting our seasonal breakfasts on October 20^th, which is greatly anticipated by many of our local citizens. Again, am reaching out to the Brothers for your help to continue this venture. I hope that we will see some new Brothers show up to help make this a success. We will again be serving all you can eat pancakes, Worshipful Walter Layton’s homemade sausage, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits and tater tots. Breakfast will be from 7 to 11 am. Brothers, we are back to 2 Stated Communications a month starting on October 1^st. Officers we are back to our regular dress. On our second communications on October 15^th, I am dispensing with the Stated Communications and having an Entered Apprentice degree for 4 new candidate’s. Be sure to attend and show these Candidates your support. Plan on attending the Grand Master’s official visit on October 27, registration is at 5pm dinner is at 6pm. Contact DDGM Howard Chase whose phone number is on the back of this Trestle Board to RSVP and let him know how many to expect. Fall is here even though the temperatures don’t feel that way. Soon our snow bird friends will start returning it will be great to have them back in the lodge.

Mark E King, Worshipful Master.

FROM THE EAST

  My brothers we have been very blessed this year with the addition of several new brothers and petitioners. It just goes to show that Masonry is still viable and meaningful in our society today. The people that have recently petitioned to our Lodge are our future! They are the younger generation and the ones we need to reach out to. Next comes the hard part, keeping them interested in Masonry. We must keep them involved and moving ahead to keep them interested. We can’t leave them to try and find their own way. They need everyone’s involvement and support. Recognition is the first place to start. A friendly greeting when they come to dinner, a hand shake and talking to them about their interests during dinner. We are having an Entered Apprentice degree on Monday, October 15^th. 2018 the 2^nd meeting in October. I need YOU my Brothers to come out and help with the degree. You can take any position in a degree that you feel comfortable with. Be a part of the process of initiating new brothers. October 20th will be our first breakfast from 7am to 11am and I hope to see some new faces in the kitchen helping. You may not know that our Lodge will be sponsoring Cub Scouts Pack 425 located in Edgewater Fl. The Pack will be meeting at the Lodge starting in September. For information or to help contact the Junior Deacon Jon Bodien. The Grand Master’s official visit to our district is on October 27^th. 2018, 5 pm registration 6pm Dinner with program to follow. We need to have a good turnout as we are the host Lodge. The dinner if being paid for by the Lodges in the 13^th, District and there is no cost to you or your spouse to attend. Come out and support your Lodge and District. School is back in session, the buses are running, and our children are back at the bus stops. Be sure to make a full stop when you see their flashing lights,

Mark E King, Worshipful Master.

LODGE HISTORY CONTINUED:

The year 1926 began as usual with Degree and charity work being very busy. On February 15^th, 1926 the building committee presented the final plans for the new Temple. These plans were accepted and an advertisement for bids was placed in the newspapers. On May 26^th, 1926 a low bid of $51,433.00 was submitted by Brother Donald F. Douglas. A motion prevailed that this bid be accepted. Further motions prevailed authorizing the Trustees to negotiate a loan, and to sell all securities owned by the Lodge at no more than a five percent discount to finance the building of the Temple. On July 19^th, 1926 the building committee was authorized to negotiate the architect’s fee with Brother Eaton J Moughton. The Lodge also received a notice from the McCrory Stores, new owner of the building where the Lodge met, to vacate by September 1^st, 1926. The McCrory Stores changed its mind and allowed use of the building until April 31^st, 1927. On May 2^nd, 1927, Brother J. S. Duss Jr. reported the proposed sale of the mortgage the Lodge owned on the Canal Street lot at a $500.00 discount. A motion prevailed to approve this sale. During April and May 1927, the Lodge met in the Smith Building on Canal Street while a committee was making arrangements to meet at the Live Oak School. In June 1927, the Lodge moved to the school and remained there until our first meeting in the new Temple on December 5^th, 1927.

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at the Stated Communication

August 20^th, 2018

FROM THE EAST

Brothers I am very proud of our Lodge for the DDGM official visit. The support you showed our own Brother, R:.W:.Howard Chase and his Committeemen was an example for the other Lodges to build upon. We had 53 Brothers in attendance; Brothers who did not attend missed a great meeting. I would like to see this attendance at our August 20^th. 2018 meeting, the 3^rd. Monday in August. Dinner at 6pm and the Stated Communication is at 7:00pm. We had 3 Brothers who were Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on July 7^th, 2018, with the help of many of the Lodges in our district. Brothers, I find it hard to believe that we have to go outside our own lodge to get enough Brothers to put on a Master Mason Degree. We are the largest Lodge in the district with over 300 Brothers and should not need to go out of our Lodge to ask for help. We will be doing an Entered Apprentice Degree in September. The date has yet to be decided, but please take the time to come out and help with this degree I, no YOUR Lodge need your support. I plan on starting our breakfasts in October. It takes your help Brothers, to make this event happen. The money made on the breakfast will be discussed at the August Communications, so come out and see what the money will be used for. I hope to see more of you coming out to help. The lodge has a small group of Brothers who have given their time and effort to keep your Lodge going, they need you to step up, and do your part to help. Summer is here with all its heat and afternoon storms. The beach is the place to be.  Please be sure to watch out for all the families that come from all over our fine country to visit our piece of paradise.

Mark E King, Worshipful Master.

FROM THE WEST

Greetings Brothers, Masonic Etiquette

Freemasonry solicits no man to join it; it permits no man to make innovation in its body of principles and Landmarks; its Candidates come of their own free will and because they have heard good reports of its reputation and formed a favorable opinion of its work, and by all means throughout its entire system, and through all its bodies and Degrees whatever, by tradition, Landmarks, usage, custom, law, rule, Edict, Regulation, and Constitution, it is in every way secured that a Mason shall stand to it in an attitude of reverence and respect. Of that reverence and respect, etiquette is one of the forms.

In principle, Masonic Etiquette belongs to the empire of good manners, that code by which gentlemen the world over govern their conduct; but this principle with us is found to apply in two directions: on the one hand it becomes a manifested respect for the Craft as a whole; on the other hand it is a form of courtesy to the individual.

Long ago Lodges of Freemasons discovered the grave necessity of decorum; among the Old Charges to which every Candidate was required to acknowledge obedience, they gave the most prominent place to the sections under the general head of “Behavior.” Among the oldest of our records, the “Regius MS., written in 1390 A.D., emphasizes the necessity for paying due respect to the Craft. In the Constitution of 1723, published by our Grand Lodge in its Book of Constitutions, it is specified, “A Mason is obliged by his Tenure, to obey the moral law . . . A Mason is a peaceable subject to the Civil Powers . . . The Persons admitted members of a Lodge must be good and true men . . . You are not to hold private Committees (in defiance of the Lodge), or separate conversation, without leave from the Master, nor to talk of anything impertinent or unseemly nor interrupt the Masters or Wardens, or any Brother speaking to the Master, nor behave yourself ludicrously or jestingly while the LODGE is engaged in what is serious or solemn; but to pay due respect to your Master, Wardens, Fellows and put them to worship” – that is, pay them the respect due them.

LODGE HISTORY CONTINUED:

On April 20^th, 1925, a new committee was appointed to purchase a new lot on which to build a Temple. A lot on the corner of Live Oak and Andres Streets was found at the price of $5,500.00. A motion prevailed to borrow the money. That motion was rescinded on May 18^th, 1925, a motion prevailed to sell the lot on Canal and Orange Streets for $42,000.00 Eventually the purchase of the lot on Live Oak Street and this proposed sale of the lot on Canal and Orange Streets failed. On August 3^rd, 1925 a motion prevailed to buy the property on the corner of Washington and Hillsboro Streets at a cost of $15,000.00. Brother J.S. Duss prepared the deeds and the Lodge owned the property upon which the Temple now stands. The property was then known as the Abercrombie place and Hillsboro Street is now Riverside Drive. On August 5^th, 1925 a motion prevailed to sell the lot on Canal and Orange Streets to the Bland and Riggers company for $60,000.00. The money to be received, $20,000.00 down and the balance over three years at 7% interest. On October 5^th, 1925, Brother Eaton J. Moughton of Sanford Florida ws hired as the architect to build the Temple. No further significant action on the Temple to place in 1925. To be continued

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at the Stated Communication

June 18^th, 2018 and the Master Mason Degree July 7^th, 2018

                                                                                      FROM THE EAST

Brothers,

Now that the 189^th Grand Lodge Communication is over, it’s time to think about the changes that were agreed upon. Some of the changes can be put into practice today others will be up to each Lodge to implement in their own period. I am sure each lodge’s Worshipful Master will present this information to their Brothers at their next Stated Meetings. As we reach our halfway point in this Masonic year, I find that there is so much more I want to do. I would like to have a Masonic Education night open to all our Brothers from the Entered Apprentices to the Master Masons. I have asked several Brothers if they could put together a program for an evening this summer. Our own brother Right Worshipful Howard Chase is the new District Deputy Grand Master for the 13^th District. We are all be very proud of him. R:. W:. Chase’s official DDGM visit to our lodge is on July 16^th, 2108. Be sure to put this date on your calendar and plan to attending. We need to show him our support. My brothers, I am reaching out to you and want to see our Lodge full of Brothers when he comes. Our lodge is conducting a Master Mason degree for 3 of our brothers on Saturday July 7^th, 2018 at 9am. I have spoken to the 3 Fellow Crafts, and can I assure you that they are very excited about the upcoming Degree and becoming Master Masons. Brothers, please be sure to attend and make it a day that they truly will remember. Your support is so very important. Think back to the day you were Raised and support the newly Raised Brothers. There are several positions open in the Master Mason degree. If you can help, please let me know. Remember, we are going dim for the summer months with one Stated Meeting on the 3^rd Monday of July, August, and September. Our children are out of school enjoying their summer (BRAKE) make it a safe one for them.

I have authorized the wear of Lodge polo shirts for the summer (except for degrees).

Fraternally, Mark King

Greetings Brothers, Masonic Etiquette

As soon as a Brother enters a Masonic Hall to attend a Communication; he comes under the sway of Masonic Etiquette. If he is late he should not indulge in loud talking that may be heard in the Lodge and his demeanor toward other Brethren he may meet there should be courteous and respectful. Here, no more than elsewhere, does Masonry give any man license to take personal liberties with another! This is especially true if any Candidates are present waiting their call to the Preparation Room. This gives them the impression that vulgar conduct, levity, practical joking or other forms of disrespect are countenanced by the Craft. It is a misrepresentation of the Lodge and a discourtesy to the Worshipful Master, who stands to all Candidates, among his many other functions, as a host in the name of his Lodge.

The Tyler has it especially in charge to see that the Ante-Room, observes the same decorum as all other precincts of the Temple. While the principal purpose of his sword is to be a symbol of his duty to keep out cowans and eavesdroppers, it is scarcely a lesser meaning of it that he holds authority to maintain order at the doors, and to see that the portals are not profaned by disrespect. Moreover, the Tyler, if he rightly understands his own art, will see that the Ante-Room is kept clean and in order, the aprons neatly piled, books, newspapers and litter not left scattered about, a fitting place, in short, through which to make entrance into a Masonic Lodge. No person is to be admitted into a Masonic Lodge unless by permission of the Worshipful Master. When a would-be visitor appears, it is the duty of the Tyler to notify the Worshipful Master of the presence of the visitor. The Worshipful Master may appoint a Committee to examine the visitor and report to the Master concerning the visitor’s qualifications. If his documents are in order and if he has convinced the examining Committee that he is a Mason, then, probably, the Worshipful Master will grant him permission to enter. If a Brother is late, he does not enter the Lodge until permission is obtained from the Master through the Tyler and the Junior Deacon for him to do so; before entering he should see that his Apron and other regalia are already properly in place. He should enter through the Outer Door only, and in a manner to attract as little attention, and to avoid as much confusion as possible. If necessary, the Inner Door should he kept locked except when the preparation room is in use, to prevent Brethren entering and retiring through it, and this applies to Past Masters and Grand Lodge Officers as well as any other Brother. It is for use by Candidates only, and to permit it to be used otherwise is a disturbance or dislocation of the entire system of the ritual. It is the Tyler’s duty to see that this rule is rigidly enforced.

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at our Entered Apprentice Communication June 4th, 2018 and the Stated Communication June 18th, 2018

FROM THE EAST

Brothers, The month of May has been exciting. We awarded our Junior Deacon Jon Bodien’s son Erik with the Melissa Bassett Scholarship. Congratulations Eric! Also, our 3 Fellow Crafts returned a really great proficiency examination and are now scheduled for their Master Mason degree, on Saturday June 23, 2018 at 9am. We are also preparing for an EA degree on June 4th, the first meeting of the month. We presented several service awards to our Brothers that were well deserved. I am very proud and pleased to see so many of our brothers at our meetings, and those who have helped with the practice for our degrees. Please keep in mind that we need a lot of brothers to do a master mason degree, and if you can help in any part, contact the Secretary’s office. Our practices are on Thursday evenings at 6 pm, and you can always be a contributor. I am looking for some articles about Brothers who have been or served on special events in our community and our Lodge. We can add these articles to the Trestle Board, thus keeping our Brothers more informed. Thank you, my Brothers. Have and happy and safe Memorial weekend. Fraternally, Mark King

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at our Stated

Communications May 7^th, & May 21^st, 2018

                FROM THE EAST

Brothers,

as you know the Grand Lodge Communication is this month and every Brother is welcome to attend. I believe it is something that all should experience at least once. Keep in mind that your 3 principle officers are your representatives. As such, it is important that you make your thoughts and concerns about the Proposed Legislation known so that your delegates can vote for the best interest of our Lodge. I have been seeking bids for our air conditioner, so we have an idea on its cost when it comes time to replace it. It’s not in our budget this year but will most likely be included in next years. We have one person ready for the Entered Apprentice, and one prospective Entered Apprentice to have an Entered Apprentice Degree soon, along with our 3 Fellow Craft that are soon to be Master Mason. With these Degrees in mind, practice is a requirement and I hope to see more Brothers at our practice. The practices are on Thursday evening at 6pm at the lodge. The electrical project is moving forward, and I am looking forward to its completion. We also will be going dim during the months of July, August, and September with only one meeting a month on the third Monday of these month. We can still have degrees and practice during these months if needed.

Fraternally,

Mark King

                FROM THE WEST

Greetings Brothers,

Brothers Some Masonic Education

SUBLIME.  Of an elevating nature, that which causes the mind to complete that which is beautiful and uplifting. The Master Mason degree is referred to as the Sublime Degree.  SO MOTE IT BE.  So may it be, so be it Early Masonic literature often lists an amen, followed by so mote it be, after a prayer. The giver affirming his prayer; the listeners agreeing by either repeating the amen or saying so mote it be.  ORDER OF THE STAR AND GARTER. The highest order of knighthood in England.  ROMAN EAGLE.  The standard representing an eagle carried at the head of each Roman Legion; later a German order of Knighthood established in 1429. CANOPY OF HEAVENS.  Covering of the Lodge. Early Lodges met in the open under the canopy of the heavens. EAR OF CORN.  A symbol of plenty, usually replaced in the USA by a sheaf of wheat.

    Lodge History Continued:

On February 18^th, 1924, an offer of $15,000.00 was made for the lot on Canal Street owned by the Lodge. Since this property was controlled by the New Smyrna Temple Corporation, the offer was referred to it and the offer was rejected, the price having been set at $20,000.00. On July 7^th, 1924, the city of New Smyrna billed the Lodge $344.63 for covering the canal in front of the Masonic lot. An offer of $16,000.00 for the Masonic lot was rejected on September 1^st, 1924, and an offer of $20,000.00 for the lot was rejected on October 6^th, 1924. The first indication that the Temple Corporation might not be working out came to light on September 6^th, 1924. A motion prevailed to appoint a committee to borrow the money to pay off its obligations and dissolve the Corporation. This committee made no report in 1924. At the end of 1924, Lodge Membership was 199. To be continued

FROM THE EAST

Greetings from the East,

I am so glad the trip to Grand Lodge went well and was well attended. Walter Layton PM  did an outstanding job with the fellow Craft Degree for our 3 Brothers and 1 Brother from St Johns Lodge. You could see that much time and effort was put into practice to make sure it was done right, thank you. Brothers, our next event is the Lodge Easter Extravaganza on March 31^st, in conjunction with the city of New Smyrna Beach Easter Egg hunt. Please be sure to attend, we will need all Brothers to participate to make it a success. The first meeting on April 2^nd, we presented 1, 40-year Certificate and pin. On April 4th at our Lodge the Master Mason Association will be meeting for dinner at 6pm and meeting at 7pm. Take the time to attend and learn what is going on in the 13th district. The District Deputy Grand Master R:. W:. Donald Tucker will be holding an informational meeting on April 11th at New Smyrna Lodge 149 starting at 7pm about the proposed legislation that the Delegates from our Lodge will be voting on at Grand lodge. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to find out how you want the Lodge to vote. April will be busy as we will be having an Entered Apprentice Degree on our second meeting on April 16th. Practice for the degree will be held every Thursday evening at 6pm starting on April 5th at our lodge please let the secretary know if you can help with the degree.

Mark E. King, Worshipful Master

                                                                                   FROM THE WEST

Greetings Brothers,

I would like to congratulate the new Fellow Craft Brothers and the Degree team for a job well done. I would like you to read a part of an article from the March/April issue of the Scottish Rite Journal

“Is Freemasonry a secret society?”

“Freemasonry is a beautiful system of allegory and illustrated by symbols. We’re not a charity or religion. We do not exist to support others and present no way of salvation. So, how does it make men better? In the degrees, it is explained that we are to be building a temple. Solomon symbolizes-the builder or the most magnificent temple in the history of man. As we strive to build ours, each of us does so differently. I can tell you how to build yours and vice-versa. Remember that Freemasonry is a system of morality. We all take our obligation on the Volume of the Sacred Law because we believe in immortality. Without immortality there is no reason for morality. ”

To find out more read the article.

FROM THE EAST

Hello my Brothers. I am pleased to share all the good news our Lodge has been working on. We have been able to get our dish washer repaired, instruction on the use of the Automatic Electronic Defibrillator, and our building power washed. We’re having 2 breakfasts a month with very good support from our community and Brothers. Our SW Al Woodstock is in the process of replacing the 2 air conditioners in the kitchen. We will try and completing the electrical project and get bids on replacing the build’s air conditioner. We will be taking a road trip to the Grand Lodge in Jacksonville on Saturday March 10^th. We will leave from our lodge at 8:30am. Be sure to contact our secretary to let him know you are coming. The Grand Secretary M:. W:. Richard Lynn will provide lunch. This is a great opportunity to visit and see your Grand Lodge, and one that doesn’t” come around very often.  W:. Walter Layton will be doing the Fellow Craft degree at our March 19^th Meeting for 3 of our EA’s. Please attend and show your support for these Brothers. One more thing I must share with you, the Brothers who have been helping with the breakfasts could use a break. These Brothers have been at almost every breakfast we have had. I am Hoping to see some new Brothers at our next breakfast which will be on Saturday March 24th. Your support is needed to continue these breakfasts.

Mark E. King, Worshipful Master

FROM THE WEST

Greetings My Brothers,

It’s March and time for Spring. The first meeting March 5 is the time to approve the budget. March 10 we are travelling to the Grand Lodge. Leaving from New Smyrna at 8:30 am. March 13 visiting St Johns 37. We have a Fellow Craft Degree on March 19. We have been meeting on Wednesday evenings to practice for this degree. Hopefully by the time you read this, we will have installed 2 new air conditioners in the kitchen. With the approved budget, we will finish the electrical work and a few other projects that need work. We had the cables on the roof checked out and it looks like they will need to be replaced in 2 to 5 years.

That’s all for now. Take care and be safe.

Al Woodstock PM, Senior Warden
