Breakfast to Honor Veterans 11.10.2018

Weston Lodge #22 invited active duty military and veterans to attend a complimentary all you can eat breakfast on November 10, 2018 to honor their service to our country.

Thirty one active duty military and veterans honored the lodge by attending the breakfast.  Also attending the event were members of the local masonic chapters, the local Littleton community and Fox31 news.  The active duty military and veterans attending the event signed the flag of their service.

The members of Weston Lodge #22 wish to thank the members of the military (past and present ) for all you do.

Fifty and Seventy Year Awards

The November 7, 2018 stated communication was an open lodge event.  It provided a special opportunity to see the presentation of a fifty-year award to Larry Wullbrandt of Weston Lodge #22.  Larry’s wife Jane was in attendance for the presentation of his award.

A seventy-year award was presented to Bill Green of Casper Independence Rock #56.  Three of our brothers from Wyoming including; Thomas Hamm Deputy Grand Master, Wyoming Guernsey Lodge #49; Bill Elmore Worshipful Master, Casper Independence Rock #56; and Weston Hubele Senior Warden, Casper Independence Rock #56 drove from Casper, Wyoming to Weston Lodge #22 for Bill Greens presentation.  The act displayed the strength of brotherhood within the fraternity and reminded all present of our own obligations to our brothers.

MASTER'S MESSAGE

Masters note for November

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it”
Brother Douglas Mac Arthur
With all election BS we go through anymore this statement seems truer than ever. My brothers Freemasonry at times seems to be the only voice of sanity I hear, the only organization for the betterment of all men not just a chosen few. As masons we may disagree, but we should not go into every discussion with predetermined ideals, but should listen to our brother’s opinions.

With brotherly love
Steve ODonnell
Worshipful Master
