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
