Trestle Board March 2019

Few brethren in a Lodge of fifty years can name the hundreds who never held office, who have loved and labored and passed on. The Architect plans and the Master Workman directs the placing of stone on stone; but were it not for the Craftsmen who hew the stone and spread mortar and squared the walls, the building would not rise.

Dear Brothers. We must keep in mind that The Lodge belongs to us all; we are all gears that make this motor work. It is your presence at meetings, your knowledge of Masonry and your desire to learn more about the craft, what keeps the Lodge active and strong. Now more than ever we must be aware of our duties as Masons, to the Lodge and to each other. A Lodge with officers only, is but a building. A building with brothers united in fellowship is a Lodge. I am Aware that there are some things that must be done during our meetings. I also believe that The Ritual is the back bone of Masonry, and we must conduct our regular business as well. But to make our meetings more interesting we have some great speakers coming to inspire us to learn more about Masonry. In the end, it is your presence, your ideas and your knowledge that will make the difference. Come to Lodge and enjoy the fellowship after meetings.
