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.

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

FROM THE WEST

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.

H. Al Woodstock III PM

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.

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.

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at our Stated

Communications February 5^th & 19^th, 2018

From the East

Greetings from the East,

My Brothers, the month of January is now history. In that history was our Installation of Officers and the loss of 3 Brothers who passed to the Celestial Lodge above. Brother John William Rogers passed on January 6^th, 2018, R:. W:. Harry Rosenthal passed on January 11^th, 2018. A Memorial Service was held at our Lodge for R.W. Harry Rosenthal on January 19^th, and attended by over 40 Brothers and friends, Brother Seth Rye who had been our Musician and served as the Grand Musician for M:. W:. Steve Boring passed on January 12, 2018. A Memorial Service for Brother Rye will be announced to the Craft when we hear from the family. The loss of these brothers is heartfelt and serves to remind us how close we have all become. The officers have been working on the budget and have budget the money to complete the electrical project and other repairs to the Lodge Building that have been placed on the back burner for some time.  We are very fortunate to have Brothers that are willing to be officers and take on the responsibilities that go along with each position. I have been asked to have the New Smyrna Beach Fire  Department come and instruct our members on the use of the automatic defibrillator.  I am in the process of setting up a time for the Fire Department to come in and train us along with the Eastern Star. We are having practices on Wednesday evenings at 6pm for now along with Daytona 81.  They are practicing for a Entered Apprentice Degree, and we working with our new officers to get them more familiar with their positions. I am planning to have a Fellow Craft Degree on the 2^nd meeting in March, 3/19/18. Practice will be starting for this degree soon and any Brothers interested in taking part in this degree should let me know or one of the officers of the Lodge. Brothers, be sure to put March 10th on your calendars, we as a Lodge are visiting The Grand Lodge of Florida in Jacksonville for a tour. We will be leaving New Smyrna Lodge at 9am and lunch will be provided by M:.W:. Lynn, the Grand Secretary, and all are invited. Our northern Brothers are also invited to come. Call or email the Secretary to let us know so M:. W:. Lynn has a count for lunch.

Mark E. King, Worshipful Master

From the West

Greetings My Brothers,

The month of January’s over and February’s upon us.  First things first …., It’s budget time. Your Senior Warden will be presenting the budget at our first Stated Communications in February. Next on the list, we’ll need volunteers to help repair ceilings in the closets upstairs and in the Easters Star’s office. By the first of March we will be replacing the two air conditioners in the kitchen. The Worshipful Master is working on getting the dishwasher repair. Let’s not forget our breakfasts this month. We need volunteers to help with this.

The January 1^st, 2018 Stated Communication has been cancelled

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at our

Stated Communication January 15^th, 2018

From the East

Greetings from the East,

As my year in the West as the Senior Warden comes to an end, I look back at the many accomplishments our Lodge has completed. Getting the fire escape painted, continuing the very popular breakfasts, our Easter Extravaganza with the Masonic Child ID Program, getting a powered projection screen installed on the north wall of the Lodge Room along with a projector, and completing the successful merger with our Brothers from Daytona Lodge No. 270. These are not small accomplishments. Our lodge has always strived to do more, and I don’t see that changing. I am very proud and humbled that you have elected me as your Worshipful Master for 2018. I will do my best to live up to your expectations as the new Worshipful Master of our Lodge. Remember, it’s not the Worshipful Master who makes the Lodge; it is the members with their commitment and support that makes a Lodge of Master Masons. Come out to the Installation of Officers on January 6^th, 2018 at 10:00am. Bring your significant other and enjoy the installation and lunch afterward. Thank you to Worshipful Walter G. Layton, for all the hard work you did in 2017. Last my Brothers, Happy Holiday and I hope you all have a very prosperous and blessed New Year.

Mark E. King

Worshipful Master

From the West

Greetings My Brothers,

Wow! I’m now a member of the friendliest Lodge of the 13^th District. Then you honor me by electing me the Senior Warden for 2018. So, my first order of business will be to congratulate our newest Entered Apprentices from the December 13^th, 2017 Called Communication. I welcome you all and if you have any questions feel free to ask. As your Senior Warden, I fully expect to support you, my Brothers, and our Worshipful Master in all our endeavors for the coming year and all future years. As always, be safe and take care.

THE BUILDING OF NEW SMRYNA’S TEMPLE

Continued: The Lodge was busy with Degree work doing several courtesy Degrees and having many done by other Lodges. Thirty ne Master Masons were raised bringing the membership of the Lodge to 158. The first action taken in 1922 regarding the building of the Temple was on February 20, 1922. A committee was appointed to select a cornerstone. The first effort to secure pictures of all Past Master was ordered on April 17, 1922. The first recorded Past Masters night was held June 5, 1922. A resolution to increase dues to $5.00 per year, effective January 1, 1923 was approved October 16, 1922. No further action was taken in 1922 toward building the Temple. On January 15, 1923 agents for the owner of the building notified the Lodge that the rent would increase from $30.00 to $45.00 per month. The Lodge then set the rent for all organizations using the hall at $5.00 per meeting. On May 21, 1923, a motion prevailed to increase the fees for the Degrees to $20.00 each. On July 5, 1923, a resolution was adopted requesting the New Smyrna Temple Corporation to elect the Worshipful Master, Senior Warden, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Lodge, to be President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively of the Corporation. Worshipful Master D.F. Douglas was named to vote our 291 shares of stock in the New Smyrna Temple Corporation. Another year ended with little progress reported on fund raising to build a Temple.  To be Continued

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at our Stated Communication December 6^th, and December 20^th, 2017

     From the East

Brothers all,

The end of the year is here.   This year has flown by and we have accomplished a lot.  At our last meeting we honored our Military members with a special dinner for them for Veterans day. We had 48 Brothers come out for that meeting. It was a very great tribute to them and a great way to say, Thank You to these brothers for their service.

The District Deputy Grand Master’s official visit was November 20th. He brought the Grand Masters message at that meeting and what great support we showed the Grand Master and our very own, R:.W:. Donald Tucker for bringing the Grand Masters word.

The first meeting of December we will have balloting for our 2018 officers. We have Brothers with their names in the hat for officer positions and I’m confident it will be an easy transition into next year with the interested Brothers.

We also have some new Men interested in being initiated into our fraternity. We have several petitions in and will be balloting at our next meeting on these future brothers.  We will be trying to fit in an Entered Apprentice Degree before the end of the year to show these Brothers “The Light”.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the officers for 2017 for making this year a huge success. It really made my year in the East an easy one. I would also like to thank all the Brothers of New Smyrna and other Lodges that came out all year to support our Lodge. The only way a Lodge can survive is with your support and by your showing your support New Smyrna Lodge #149 will thrive.

Thank You all for a great year

W:.M:. Walt G.Layton

From the West

As we end this year my Brothers, we have accomplished much. Adding new members, helping our fellow Lodges, supporting our community, and preparing new Brothers to lead us into the future. My time as your Senior Warden has taught me much, and pointed out my short comings. I have tried to learn from them. Our new Brothers from Daytona 270 have made themselves a part of our Lodge. I for one see it as a great success. New Smyrna Lodge has a bright future and a secure one as well. Our Worshipful Master Walter Layton has made us a Lodge well known among the 13^th Masonic District for our degree work and just as important, our fellowship. Attracting new Brothers and retaining are old members as well. The attendance at our meetings tells the story. The average attending at our Communications is 30. Not bad, and the 11/6 Stated Communications we had 47 Brothers present with 3 Petitioners at the Flag ceremony and opening pray. How great it was to look out from my station and see both sides of the Lodge Room filled. The month of December brings with it our elections for the coming year, and the great part is our Lodge will have a full complement of officers. Please remember to bring your dues cards so you can ballot on December 4th our first meeting of the month. I would like to wish everyone of my brothers and their families the best for the holiday season.  Tomorrow is just a day away make the most of today, and share your good fortune with someone you love.

THE BUILDING OF NEW SMRYNA’S TEMPLE

Continued: On September 20^th, 1920 a new building committee was appointed. This committee reported on December 6^th, 1920 that no progress had been made and the committee was discharged. A motion prevailed to elect a new building committee of five. This committee was to hold office until the By-Laws could be amended to provide for election of Trustees for specified terms of office. Several other motions prevailed on December 20^th, 1920. The dues were increased to $4.00 per year and the fee for the Master Mason Degree increased to $20.00. Both Brothers Keatley and Fullerton were presented Past Master jewels for 1920. On February 7^th, 1921, The New Smyrna Temple Corporation was formed and the fee of $63,50 to incorporate was paid the State. On May 2^nd, 1921 a motion prevailed that the Lodge buy $500.00 worth of common stock in the Corporation. A further motion prevailed that the Trustees of the Lodge deed and convey the lot at Canal and Orange Streets, owned by the Lodge to the New Smyrna Temple Corporation, in exchange for additional stock in that Corporation, in an amount to be determined by that Corporation. No further action was taken in 1921 toward building the Temple.To be Continued

The Worshipful Master requests your attendance at our Stated Communication

November 6^th, 2017 and November 20^th, 2017

                                                                                       From the East

The final papers are signed, and Daytona #270 is now completely merged with New Smyrna #149. Congratulations and Thank You to the brothers from both lodges.  I also would like to personally thank

W:. Howard Chase and W:. A.J. Winterwerp who put in many hours making this happen  I know there was a lot work involved, but you guys made it happen!  On the same note, I would also like to thank our Junior Warden Dave Drake, and his wife Kirsten, for putting out an outstanding welcome dinner for the members of Daytona #270, and every other dinner this year! Our breakfasts will be starting up again, with the first one being October 28^th at our lodge.  Brothers, we started these a few years ago and have continued. I hope our Brothers will come out and support our breakfast and our Brothers helping to make it a success. We have some new petitions coming in and being balloted on.  I would like to have these new interested guys initiated before the end of the year.  We have had a lot going on this year and I would really like to end it on a great note of having some new brothers brought in. Our next meeting, November 6^th, our newest raised Brothers will be proving their proficiencies before the craft. Come on out and support these Brothers! Any Brother that is interested in an officer position must have their paperwork in by November 1^st. I know we already have a few interested Brothers but if you are interested the time is running short. We also have the DDGM official visit on November 20^th, so please come out and support our lodge and the DDGM Donald Tucker, who is a member of our Lodge.  Let’s make him Proud!  Hopefully will see you all at our next Stated Communication on November 6^th.

Fraternally,

W:.M:. Walt Layton

                                                                                            From the West

The month of October has been a difficult one for all our members dealing with repairs left from hurricane Irma. Our lodge was spared but, as you all know that was not the case for 2 of the lodges in District 13. This has disrupted not just our Masonic Brothers but, the other appended bodies that used these lodges. New Smyrna Lodge 149 opened its doors for our Brothers in need and have supported them in any way we can, because that’s what Brothers do. It may be some time before Halifax Lodge No.81 may be able to return to their lodge, and Ormond Beach Lodge No. 326 is trying to make use of their Lodge as it is with much difficulty. W:. M:. Walter Layton continues to make our Lodge available to them should they need a place to meet. The merger with Daytona 270 is complete and a success, with the Brothers finding a new home here with us. We had the town hall meeting presented by Senior Grand Warden John Westerman at our Lodge. It was well attended, and many good ideas were offered. The month of November brings with it our District Deputy Grand Masters official visit to our Lodge at our second meeting of this month. Be sure to attend and support our Brother, DDGM Donald Tucker. Soon our snow bird Brothers will return to find many new Brothers that now share our lodge, I am sure they will be happy to be back and to meet them. Brothers, there are many committees to be filled for next year, and your Lodge Needs Brothers to fill the positions. Please let the Secretary know if you would like to serve on one or more of the committees. The holidays are coming with family and friends. This year will be more difficult for many because of the hurricane. If you are able, please donate food by placing it in the basket located at the entry to the dining room. Every little bit helps.

THE BUILDING OF NEW SMRYNA’S TEMPLE

Continued: The year 1919 began on a busy note. In addition to heavy Degree work, the Lodge was the host for its first recorded District Meeting. On March 19^th, 1919, a resolution was spread on the minutes and a gold star placed on the service flag in memory of Brother John Mooney, the first of our members to make the supreme sacrifice. He died in combat in France. Nothing had been recorded since January 1917, regarding the building of the Temple until March 19^th, 1919, when a Special Communications was called to discuss that matter. I could find no record of that Communication being held. On June 4^th, 1919 a motion prevailed to change Stated Communication dates back to the first and third Monday. A special School of Instruction was held here for the first time on October 1^st, 1919 with 70 Brothers attending. On October 6^th, 1919 a new building committee was appointed to erect a Temple. On November 3^rd, 1919 Donald F. Douglas was elected to this Lodge. He was a building contractor and in addition to being a very active Mason, he was the Brother who would eventually build the Temple. The Lodge, for the first time passed the 100 mark in membership closing the year with 107 members. The year 1920 was very busy. Twenty-one ne Master Masons were raised. On June 7^th, 1920 a new committee was appointed to seek aid from other Lodges to build a Temple. This effort apparently failed since a report from this committee was never recorded. On July 5^th, 1920, Worshipful Master Keatley asked the Lodge to request the Grand Master to relieve him and permit new elections to fill any vacancy that might be created. No reasons were recorded, however, Grand Master Cooper granted the dispensation and on July 28^th, 1920 George I,. Fullerton was elected and installed Worshipful Master. He served the remainder of 1920.To be Continued
