From the East Brethren,

BREAKING NEWS: We were successful in capturing the 19th district traveling

gavel from Burlington Lodge Tuesday, April 28th. We are the third lodge to

capture it since the start of this contest in February. I am very grateful for the

willingness of my fellow brothers who traveled with me to claim this prize.

However, in the spirit of brotherhood, I don’t expect to keep it for very long.

Hopefully five or more brothers from another lodge will come to claim it. The

friendly competition encourages brothers to visit other lodges in the district

and learn something new in their travels. I am also proud to inform you that

the 19th district won the award for Best Grand Lodge of Instruction at the

Annual Grand Lodge Communication. It is a real honor to win this award as it

exemplifies your dedication to the craft.

Spring is in full bloom. As Mother Nature is shows us new growth of flowers

and trees as well as newborn wildlife, we as masons experience new growth.

Last month at the Annual Grand Lodge Communication, Most Worshipful

Anthony W. Montuori was elected as our new Grand Master. I had the

opportunity to attend the Masters Breakfast where he shared some insight on

his plans for the future of Masonry. One key point he made concerned

meetings. “They should be more than reading minutes and paying bills.”

Sound familiar? Another topic was that of guarding the west gate. We should

be particularly careful not to recommend anyone for membership unless we

are certain they will conform to our rules and guidelines. We won’t lower our

standards for the sake of more members. If we have good and wholesome

instruction, new members will seek us out.

When brothers come to us to learn, we want to make sure our lodge is

attractive and welcoming. Removal of rubbish and making minor repairs and

upgrades to our lodge will make our home new again. Our spring cleaning day

is Saturday, May 16th at 8:30 am. Whether its window washing, painting,

pruning or scrubbing floors, we need you! We’ll be there until 2pm but if

everyone pitches in a little, the work gets finished faster. The Regular meeting

is Monday the 18th. We want our lodge sparkling for the guests who come to

steal the gavel. Remember in masonry we only get out what we put in. I hope

to see you in the lodge soon.

Fraternally,

Jonathan Soltesz WM
