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
