Masters note for August
It is organized as a fellowship of men, a system of morals, a philosophy taught by degrees through the use of symbol, story, legend, pictures and drama. It has served as a center of union among, different backgrounds, cultures, and countries. It serves as the means of conciliating true friendship among persons, who, because of differences, must have otherwise remained at a perpetual distance.
Quote from Harry S. Truman
It is true we at Weston come from different backgrounds, different countries, different cultures, different generations and different economic situations. We have all come together as brothers to learn from each other and to teach each other the great philosophy of Freemasonry. I am personally amazed at the wealth of knowledge our brothers have and I’m grateful for their willingness to share it.

The Littleton Block Party was held June, 9, 2018 and a group of brothers came out to man the beer tent to raise funds for the preservation of the Weston Masonic Temple. The new and stylish Weston Lodge #22 t-shirts even lured in an Elk or two.
The crowd was big and the lines were long. The brothers hustled to keep the drinks flowing, often running short on beer and ice. The new and stylish Weston Lodge #22 t-shirts even lured in an Elk or two.
By the end of the night, everyone was exhausted. However, it felt great to support a worthy cause.
The brothers turned out at the Boggy Draw Brewery on June 9, 2018 from 2pm to 7 pm to help raise funds for the preservation of the Weston Masonic Lodge. Flames leapt from the grill as WM Steve O'Donnell prepared the burgers and brats. The Boggy Draw had a great selection of craft brew to wash them down.
(The original announcement is below)
Nevada Lodge #4 A.F. & A.M. is Colorado's oldest and only Ghost Town Lodge originally chartered in Kansas Territory October 15, 1861. Nevada Lodge holds an annual Ghost Town Rising event and a large contingent of Weston #22 brothers were on hand to confer the third degree upon our own Steven Helms.
Nevada Lodge #4 opened on the Third Degree at 10 am June 2, 2018 with degree work beginning at 10:30 am. The lodge went to refreshment for lunch approximately noon and resumed in short order. Later in the day, dinner was served and labor dispensed with that evening.
Weston Brothers in attendance included WM Steven O'Donnell, SW Francisco Mier y Teran, JW Bruce Swedal, Sec Clark Skinner, Treasurer Loren Kohler, SD Benjamin Bridge, SS Thomas Hearn, PM Bob Sangster, Bob Helms, Joe Helms, Steven Helms, Randy Lutton, and Russ Bushman.
Weston Lodge #22 will be participating in the Ghost Town rising at Nevada Lodge #4. We will be conferring a Third Degree for one of our brothers. Dinner will be served and the times for the Degree work will be posted soon.
