Greetings to all the esteemed brothers of Weston Lodge Number 22,
I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. It brings me great pleasure to address you once again as we resume our monthly newsletter after a brief period of dormancy. As we all know, the past two months saw our Lodge go dark, but it was not a time of idleness. Instead, it was a period of great activity, dedication, and commitment from our officer line.
During this hiatus, our dedicated officers came together to orchestrate not just one, but two degrees. This extraordinary effort was made to ensure that Brother Matthew Baker can partake in our upcoming Master Mason degree, a momentous occasion that holds great significance for him and our Lodge. Furthermore, this endeavor allows us to extend a warm welcome to Brother Edward Baker, who can now attend the degree ceremony and share in this special moment with his grandson. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those involved in making this happen; your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed.
As we get back to our Masonic work after the summer break, I encourage each and every one of you to have taken the time to enjoy the great outdoors and stay active. These moments of rejuvenation in nature often provide us with the mental and physical fortitude required for our Masonic journey.
I'm pleased to report that our entry project is progressing rapidly, and we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Brother Chris Wilke for leading the charge in this endeavor. His commitment and dedication to the Lodge have been truly commendable.
As we look forward to the upcoming month, mark your calendars for this Saturday at 9:00 AM, as we have a Master Mason degree scheduled. It promises to be an event of great importance and significance, and your presence will be greatly appreciated.
Following the degree, we have something exciting lined up for our brethren - a Chili Cook-off! I am certain that this will be a delightful occasion filled with camaraderie and good food. So, bring your appetite and your best chili recipes as we come together to enjoy the fruits of friendly competition.
In closing, let us remember the true essence of Freemasonry – unity, brotherhood, and service. As we gather once more in our beloved Weston Lodge Number 22, let us continue to work together in harmony,
strengthening our bonds, and contributing positively to our Fraternity.
Fraternally,
Michael Cardoza
Master of Weston Lodge 22
