MASTER'S MESSAGE
Brothers of WestonLodge,
April has definitely snuck up on me this year and if you’re feeling the same way, perhaps it’s because of all that we have done as a
Lodge in the first three months of the year! This past month there were several events outside of our Stated Communications that
were both a lot of fun and very special to me personally.
On March 16th, Weston Lodge moved its charter for one night and held a formal meeting at the Eastern Star Masonic Retirement Home. The purpose of this meeting was to honor one of our very special Past Masters of Weston Lodge, Worshipful Brother Bill Cardarelle, just ahead of his 102nd birthday which is later this month. Worshipful Brother Bill wanted to attend one more meetings with the brothers of Weston and it was one of the greatest honors of my Masonic journey to oblige him. What’s more, 17 other Past Masters and 25 other Masons of varying degrees from seven different Lodges decided that they wanted to be part of this special event too! To see the light in Worshipful Brother Bill’s eyes while sitting next to me in the East was truly a blessing to behold. The night ended with a birthday celebration with cake and ice cream. I was very proud of the Officers and Brothers of Weston Lodge for the work we did this night and I hope that you feel the same way!
On March 18th we held a Table Lodge of Instruction at Weston Lodge and toasted to famous Masonic Inventors. It was a wonderful time with festive conversation, homemade dinner, and informative presentations. The most important part was that we had 28 Brothers in attendance. If you have never been to Table Lodge at Weston Lodge, or if it’s been a few years, I highly suggest you consider attending our next one in October - they are always a great time!
As I have said more than once, which is very intentional, the theme this year is communication. With this in mind, please be on the lookout later this month for a letter from me to be delivered to your mailbox. Yes, I am told the Post Office still delivers these ’snail mail’ notes! Enclosed you will find a calendar for the year as well as other important information and a small token of my appreciation for your continued Masonic engagement with our Lodge. I’m trying to put together a Past Master’s Degree Team for our lodge. Details on this will be in the letter, but if you are interested please reach out to me directly.
I’ll leave you with a quote from a long-time Master Mason: “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” With this in mind I ask you to try and come visit with your brothers of Weston Lodge and enjoy some fraternal fellowship. If you have not come down to Lodge for a while, I promise that you will be simply astounded by the energy and buzz around our building these days!
Fraternally,
Your Worshipful Master - Michael Cardoza
