MASTER'S MESSAGE

Brothers, this month I give you this quote from Ralph W. Sockman to ponder.

There are parts of a ship which taken by themselves would sink. The engine would sink. The propeller would sink. But when the parts of a ship are built together, they float. So with the events of my life. Some have been tragic. Some have been happy. But when they are built together, they form a craft that floats and is going places. And I am comforted.

The first thing I want to emphasize is that the Monthly Breakfasts at Weston Lodge will resume on October 10, 2020 from 8:00am -10:00am.

With Brotherly Love,
Worshipful Master

Bruce Swedal

Fall Table Lodge

Brethren, it’s time to enjoy Tales from the East at the Fall Table Lodge.  Past Masters will tell us about their most lasting memory of their time in the East.  Don’t miss out on the chance for an evening of friendship and brotherly love.  We will open at 6:00 pm, go to refreshment, enjoy a fantastic dinner with the Table Lodge following.

The cost for the Table Lodge is $20.00.  Bring your own Cannon!  Purchase ($15) or borrow one of ours.

Please RSVP at https://www.punchbowl.com/parties/6c0ed841b92bb9a8aaff

Online payment available at https://westonlodge.org/dues-donations/

Multi Media System

September 23, 2020 WM Bruce Swedal, SD Michael Cardoza, JS Josh Levin, Ron Pino and Michael Cardoza’s father installed the new 86" flat screen in the lodge room.  The photo does not provide the right prospective to the size of this screen.  It is HUGE!

Michael Marcus is currently developing a standard operating procedure that groups can use as a cheat sheet for its use.

Funding was provided via a donor (who wishes to remain anonymous) and the Weston Masonic Temple Association.

Chili Cookoff Plaque

Chili Cookoff Plaque

Earlier this year Weston Lodge #22 held its first annual Chili Cookoff.  It was great fun and all the entries were fantastic.  In the end, two chili's tied, forcing a runoff which was decided by a single vote.

Congrats to our first annual chili cookoff winner Ron Pino.

The plaque listing the winners can be seen in the dining area.

Weston Past Masters Pins

Earlier this year a committee was formed and a project launched to build two display cases. The first display case to house the pins for past masters of Weston Lodge #22.  The second display case starts a new tradition at Weston Lodge #22, allowing visiting masons to place their lodge pins on display.

Many thanks to Brothers Josh Levin and Daniel Croll in making this happen!

Clark Skinner Teacher Award

September 15, 2020 a small group of masons from Weston Lodge #22 came together to recognize Carolyn Moretti her exemplary service to the community by presenting the Clark Skinner Teacher Award.  Carolyn Moretti is the English Language Development Teacher and coordinator for the athletics program at Goddard Middle School in Littleton. 

Ms. Moretti was chosen by her peers to receive the award for her outstanding commitment to our children’s education in Littleton.
