Master’s Message June 2008

NUTLEY LODGE NO. 25

Free and Accepted Masons

Greetings from the East Brethren,

 

The Grand Master’s theme for this year is “Focus On Community”.  Nutley Lodge has been reaching out to the local community in many ways this year.  From the Nutley Parks clean-up, to our involvement in the History Fair, to donating our Hall to local groups, Marching in the Memorial Day Parade and our upcoming Blood Drives, to name a few.  More Nutley Lodge Community Outreach Programs are planned.

 

When I think of ’Focusing On Community’, it reminds me to also Focus on our “Masonic Community”.  Our Masonic Community consists of all our Brothers from our Blue Lodge, to our District and Grand Lodge Brothers, and to those Brothers whom we may meet in our travels.

 

As a result of  also Focusing on our Masonic Community, Lodge attendance and participation has dramatically increased.  Additional plans have been made to include District Events, such as our upcoming Father’s Day Pancake Breakfast and the formation (via our DDGM) of a District Wide Group Web Site which will enable Brothers from all Lodges in our District to keep abreast of current affairs through out the District. 

 

Our agenda for the year has been ambitious and we are now reaping the fruits of our Labor.  We have toiled in the quarry and made rough stones smooth.  We are all witnessing the rejuvenation of our Lodge. 

 

Despite all of our success, our Focus must continue to remain steadfast and true and never deviate from the established principles and tenets of our great Fraternity.

 

In this fashion, we will continue to grow and prosper, which will further enable us to spread the cement which binds us all together into one Sacred Band of Brothers.

 

Finally Brethren, I encourage all members to attend Lodge and get ’FOCUSED’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sincerely & Fraternally,

W.B. Wayne A. Petermann
