From the East - November 2012 |
|
Remembrance Day is November 11. It is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who were killed during the two World Wars and other conflicts. At one time the day was known as Armistice Day and was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War. Some may also know it as Veterans's Day. Regardless...it is a time to pause and think about all those who went before us, those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and "salute" them. November for us in Lodge is about recognition, dedication and service. Officers in their respective stations will be advancing and establishing their Proficiency for degrees in lodge. It's a tense time, but a fun time. It's a moment where we watch and see how the next Masters of our lodge will perform. I wish John and Jesse all the best! December will be the proficiency of Kevin "Hank" Field. That is sure an event NOT to be missed either! But we will also have some fun! Table Lodge will be a time to have some food, some drink and conduct lodge. Grape juice or wine...will The Legend continue? Then our Annual Ball where we will have an advertising booklet to recognize those who support us. People that conduct business will be recognized. Come to the Ball and find out who they are! Finally, we will give thanks. We will thank those who have come before...we will thank those who are here and progressing forward...and we will thank those who have helped with all three. Remember to always say please...but most importantly say "Thank you!" "Ever remembering that we are traveling upon that Level of time..." Thank you for reading these...thank you for listening...and thank you for your Brotherly love and friendship!
Fraternally, Robert L. Thomas Worshipful Master
