MASTER'S MESSAGE

Masters note for October

Just try to make the world a better place for your having been there

Brother Jimmy Doolittle
My brothers we my think of some things a being of a trivial nature, but a smile, a hand shake, a friendly word or sharing a meal means the world to someone. We had the pleasure of doing this at the Easter Star Masonic Retirement Home. This special meeting was to be for the brothers there, it became for me at least a special meet for us. At the last minute I decided the brothers there didn’t need to listen to us speak about missionary we needed to listen to them. We heard how and where they were made masons, of masonry during the Second World War and of being 50 plus year masons. Our Weston brothers told of our time in masonry as well some like Clark and Joe with more than 50 years and others of just beginning their journey. It was a wonderful meeting and one I hope we do again

With brotherly love
Steve ODonnell
Worshipful Master

On August 11, 2018 a group of brothers met at Nevada Lodge 4 to welcome four brothers to the rank of Master Mason.  Nevada Lodge #4 A.F. & A.M. is Colorado's oldest and only Ghost Town Lodge originally chartered in Kansas Territory October 15, 1861.

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.
