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 Annual Meeting and Fumigation
Written by Mike Dodge   

In December, 2008, the Lodge held it's usual Annual Communication and "Fumigation".  This is a yearly event, and the photos are in the Lodge Photo Album.

Bro. James T. McWain, RW Grand Junior Warden, attended on behalf on MWGM Robert J. Stika (who was attending the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania), and received the visiting delegations.

As usual, lunch was homemade oyster stew, prepared by WB John O. Brandt, Jr., WB Dean E. Bunnell, and Bro. Robert B. Parker, and served by the ladies of Betty Putnam Chapter #106, OES.  Our Eastern Star Ladies also provide homemade apple pies, which is topped off with Vermont cheddar cheese supplied by MW Cedric L. Smith, MWPGM of VT and Grand Secretary.

Following lunch, the Brothers returned to the Lodge room for the "fumigation".  The cigars were distributed, and all lit up at the appropriate time.  During the fumigation WB Theodore C. Rupar was elected to succeed RW John S. Rhoads for WB Rupar's second term in the East.

Following elections a semi-public Installation of Officers was held with MW Stanley S. Sheldon, Jr. acting as Installing Officer.
