Local Federal Prison Officers Food Drive

Food Drive

The Community Services Committee is assisting with a food drive to benefit local federal prison officers who are affected by the loss of pay during the partial shutdown of the federal government.

The Community Services Committee will be taking donations of  non perishable food, toiletries, dippers (as a lot of them have small children) or cash at the next few meetings. Food or item donations may also be dropped off at the lodge at any time the lodge is open.

The local prison officers as well other federal employees negatively impacted by this shutdown are facing unique hardships.  Please give as much as your situation may permit without material injury to yourself and family.

A list of the community service committee members can be found on the Committee's page.

Meeting Room Gets New Window Coverings

Window Coverings 1
Window Coverings 2
Window Coverings 3

The lodge room received a huge facelift today when new window coverings were installed.  One close look at the old curtains was all it took to understand this change was long overdue.

Ryan Hite graciously donated curtains, purchased with his winnings from the last poker night.  Ryan's mother Mary stepped up to select and iron the new curtains.  Mark Costello (with Mary's help) gets an assist for the installation. You all are Awesome!

A huge thank you to all involved in making this happen!

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Masters note for December

“Set your course by the stars,
not by the lights of every passing ship.”
Brother Omar Bradley

My Brothers as my year as master comes to a close I would like to thank each and every one of you for a great year I will always remember. Weston Lodge does set its course by the stars keeping a true course in masonry. So as we would say after flying hot air balloons. “May the winds welcome you with softness. May the sun bless you with its warm rays. May you fly so high and so well God joins you in your laughter and set you gently back into the loving arms of Mother Earth.” 

With brotherly love
Worshipful Master and soon to be Junior Past
Steve O'Donnell
