Weekly Master's Message

Greetings Brothers - well another meeting has come and gone with a great evening of fraternal friendship and ? We started the night with a fine meal of corn chowder, Tuscan bean and pulled pork sandwiches prepared by Brothers SW Rob Eubanks, SS Derek Jette, and JS Bob Donahue.

In Masonic spirit I decided earlier in the day that we would donate all the proceeds from the dinner to a Brother Past Master in Rhode Island who, with his wife tragically lost all of their belongings in a fire in their home. His wife is still in the hospital with severe burns. We will be sending them $255.00 to help them get back on their feet. I want to thank the Brothers for their generosity in helping a Brother in need.

We then proceeded upstairs and with Brother SW Cary Bentley presiding in the east, the FC degree was conferred on two brothers. Cary did an excellent job with the ritual work, as did all the Brothers who participated in the work of the evening.

On a different note, the deadline is drawing near for the Ladies At Table on February 18th. I've received many reservations, but still have some room. If interested you can send me an email or give me a call 860-634-3700. We always have a great time and I sure you will too.

Be Safe

2008 Family Picnic

Written by Mike Dodge

It has been the tradition (since 2001 at least!) that every summer the Lodge hosts a family picnic for all Brothers, friends, and family who wish to attend. The rules are simple: the Lodge provides the hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, condiments, and drinks, and everyone else brings either a salad or a dessert. This picnic is usually held at our August Communication, and is proceeded by a very QUICK business meeting.

This gives our families a chance to come on down and see each other, and lets our wives and children meet the other men (and their families) who we spend time with.

It is also an opportunity for some of our "snowbirds" to reconnect with their Brothers who DON'T migrate to warmer climtes during the winter months.

We look at this as a chance to have some fun. We spend a great deal of time doing fundraising during the spring and fall, and this is a chance to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labors.

Of course SOMEBODY has to do the cooking!

Lack of food or choices is NEVER a problem!

So if you are a Brother and are in the neighborhood, come one down! This isn't limited to Putnam #46 members only - just bring a salad or dessert and come join us.
