Master's Message

         

Master’s Message Q1 2009

 

Mentoring is the most important service you can provide to a brother!  The lodge can perform 1st degree after 1st degree, however without experienced brethren stepping forward to help our newly obligated brothers pull aside the veils of allegory, digest the lessons presented and help them learn their obligations we cannot effectively make good men better!

 

Two truly dedicated brothers WB Ken Wilson and VW Joe Finotti have carried the entire mentorship load for the past several years.  Without their work we could not have made a single Fellow Craft nor Master Mason, their work has been exemplary!

 

I ask each of you to fully examine your Cable Tow using all the light you have gained from Masonry, the experiences you had from your Mentor and find the time to help our lodge grow.  The rewards will far surpass the time you invest.  I will pair you with an eager to learn brother, our goal is to return to “Proving Up” in open lodge within the next 3 months.

 

In addition if any brother is having a difficult time driving after dark or knows someone who is please let me know and I will arrange rides.

 

Our first official visit of 2009 was to Franklin #5 in January.  We had six brethren who were able to attend an excellent time was had by all.   Please join us on the 6th of February when we will visit Port Orchard Lodge #98 at 7:30pm.  Then the 9th of March we will visit Renton Lodge #29.  Transportation is available contact me via email or phone.

 

There will also be a visit to Hama Hama Lodge #35 Prince Hall in Bremerton, date will be decided by the next stated meeting. Plan on joining us, the fellowship and shared fraternalism is outstanding!

 

This coming Wednesday the 21st is “All Masonic Night: hosted by the Scottish Rite dinner will be FREE and start at 6:30pm.  RW Mike Sander Grand Junior Warden, he will be detailing his program for his year as Grand Master. Transportation is available contact me!

 

As you can see this year is starting at full speed, do not get left behind or worse left out!  Join us and experience Masonry at its best!

At the June Stated Meeting we voted to raise the fees for the degrees to a flat $300.00 regardless of age and also raised the yearly dues to $100.00 per year.  Seems gas and my waist line aren't the only things going up.

In most cases, the raise in dues makes life membership much more attractive for most of you.

If you are between the ages of:

18 thru 35 your one time fee..$450.00

36 thru 45 ........................... 400.00

46 thru 55 ........................... 300.00

56 thru 65 ........................... 250.00

66 and over ........................$200.00

If you need help in spreading out the payments, let Ken know.  We have ways!

Fraternally,

Chris Gunnell
