FROM THE EAST

                                                                                                                             

Greetings Brethren!

I want to thank all of the Brethren for supporting me and electing me as Master of our Lodge for this upcoming year. I am humbled, honored and excited to serve our Lodge in this position after 37 years of serving the last time. Wow! How things have changed and also stayed the same. I hope to see you in Lodge over the next year and if you can not make it to an event, I hope you will reach out so we can talk and catch up, possibly for an in person visit.

 

Our stated meeting in January will feature our flannel or fleece shirt night. Dig out those best shirts and wear them to our Lodge meeting!

 

I will be continuing the Sunday Breakfast with the help of Wor. Mike Daley Jr. on the Sunday after our stated meeting, all are welcome. The hot dog night on the Third Thursday and all are welcome to that event also. I do want to still have the Mastersd class as I think this is has been a good resource and I encourage the officers to attend and be part of the discussion.

 

I do want to continue our ritual discussion night. I will call it that because I think that our ritual is a discussion between the people involved. I think that sometimes people get afraid or scared when we label it a ritual night and the ones, we have had have produced some great conversations about pieces of ritual and the directions they have gone on from the original topic. I would encourage you to attend if you can.

 

Brethren, busy and exciting times are ahead for Star in the East Lodge, which is a great sign for Freemasonry in our area. None of it happens without your participation. I look forward, with great anticipation, to seeing you all once again!!

 

 

Fraternally,

Dwane Staples, WM  (DDSL@comcast.net) 603.682.5205

Special Notes:

 

- There is no warmth more comforting than surrounding yourself with good people who care.

- Star in the East is committed to being a Lodge that practices inclusion. Please, Brethren, if you would like to present a program, take part in Ritual, serve on a committee, or help with our dinners, we’d love to hear from you.

- Remember, our Lodge room is a sanctuary, free from the worries and tribulations of the outside world, where we all meet on the Level.

- You are someone’s impression of the Fraternity. Please dress appropriately for our meetings.​​
