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 Table Lodge

Written by Mike Dodge

Every year, on the Saturday before Halloween, the ghouls, ghosts, and goblins rise from their crypts to come partake in a sumptuous repast down at the Lodge - our Annual TABLE LODGE!

These are just a SAMPLING of the pictures which await you in the Lodge Photo Album, so make sure you check those out!

To make all those ghastly ghosties feel right at home, the Lodge's collation room is decorated like an ancient funerary crypt.

Backdrops adorn the walls for that really authentic "creepiness"...!

The columns mark the front of the crypt, where the open door leads from their world to OURS!

The tables are set in celebration of The Feast of All Hallow's Eve.

At the head table, the Master of the Crypt maintains order through the power of his mighty ... leg bone.

And there, beyond the open doors of the Crypt, you can just barely see the "outside" world...

A full moon hangs low over the cemetery beyond our walls, while spiders spin their webs above.

There! Do you see what lies beyond!

Tonight we dine!

As darkness falls, the denizens begin their lumbering journey from their burial galleries to the table...

They come from far and wide, these lifeless creatures.

No longer bound by time or location, strange duos can be observed interacting in ways they might have never done while still animated by the breath of life.
