FROM  THE EAST

June 2010

My Brothers,

 Our first meeting in May as mandated by Grand Lodge Constitutions was the election of officers for the ensuing year. It is my honor and privilege to be elected Master again.

 Several years ago, in 2003, two lodges merged with the hope of forming, in time, a new stronger lodge. It was a new beginning, or if you will, a new foundation. Now seven years later, we have a lodge where brothers wait to get into line, help out during degrees, or support the lodge by being regular sideliners and coming to lodge for the fellowship. Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

 The second meeting of the month was a second degree. We passed five brothers to the degree of Fellowcraft.  I must tell you my brothers, it was a very special evening. W∴ Pete Lupo did a fantastic job in the East. Bros. Al Vargas and Josh Sundquist did a great job with the questions and answers. Bro. Andrew Lupo did his usual great job with the working tools as did W∴ Steve Miller with the charge. Bro. Michael Geller finished up his year as Sr. Deacon in great fashion and will now move on up to the Jr. Warden’s chair.

 My thanks to the brothers who also contributed by acting as conductors during the degree and also came down to the rehearsal. A very special thank you to W∴ Bart Forvath of Spartan Lodge who presented the ‘Middle Chamber’ lecture. To all of this my brothers there is something else I must add, dare I say it, the night was fun, yes fun. We all worked hard, very hard, to put on this degree and to do competent ritual, and excellent ritual it was, but it was the fellowship and brotherhood at the dinner before and the collation after the meeting that helps make our lodge a fun place to be on meeting nights.

 With each new brother raised, a new brick is added to that foundation. In addition to the five Fellowcrafts, we already have on the trestleboard for the fall, a new class of eight and possibly ten applicants. How tall will our lodge grow? As high as the heavens!  At this moment the sky is the limit!

 Our first meeting in June is awards night. It promises to be very special as we will be honoring several brothers for their many years of service to the craft. The second meeting of June, will be our annual installation of officers for the ensuing year. The  Installation will be a tiled meeting and I welcome and invite all brothers to please come down and support your lodge.

 May everyone  enjoy the summer. Have fun, but please be safe and I will see you all again in the fall.

 Fraternally,

Jay

FROM  THE  SOUTH

 Just a reminder, I have made arrangements for us to go out to dinner with the ladies on June 4th.  We will be going to the Davenport Press Restaurant located at 70 Main Street in Mineola.  The cost will be $35.00 per person all inclusive.  If you would like to join us, please send me an e-mail or call me at my office at (516)252-1442. If I am not in, leave a message on  voice mail and I will add you to our list.

 See you all at the next meeting..      

Peter

FROM  THE EAST

March 2010 

My Brothers; 

The first meeting in February was cancelled because of the snowstorm. This was to have been a ladies night with a Valentine’s Day theme. Hopefully as we move toward spring we can plan another similar evening to include our ladies. 

On Februray 22nd, at the School of Instruction, which this year, was the annual Grand Lecturer’s Convention, our Lodge was one of three Lodges in the District that qualified for the Potts Award. For those of you who are not familiar with this Grand Lodge Award, in order for a Lodge to qualify, all Lodge Officers, from the Master to the Jr. Master of Ceremony must be in attendance at the Grand Lecturer’s Convention. We were fortunate to have those seven Officers present and an additional nine other Officers and sideliners for a total of sixteen present, a great showing for the Lodge. Thanks to the dedication of these Officers and sideliners, Our Lodge will be presented with the Potts Award at Grand Lodge Session in May. 

The second meeting of the month, on February 24th, was the first of two consecutive Third Degrees. On that evening, we had the privilege of Raising five of our Fellowcrafts to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. We will Raise Two more Brothers on March 10th with the assistance of the Spartan Fellowcraft Team who will portray the drama in full costume. Our Officers did an excellent job with the ritual of the Degree, starting with our Sr. Deacon, Bro. Micheal Geller who turned in another great performance, making us all proud. 

A special thank you to R∴W∴ Charles Catapano, our District Deputy Grand Master, for again gracing our lodge and assisting us in the degree by conducting one of the brothers being raised. A big thank you to Bro. Jay Alweis who sat in as Tiler for the evening, to Bro. Andrew Lupo who presented the Working Tools, Bro. Al Vargas, Bro. Josh Sundquist and W∴ Peter Lupo who portrayed the three ruffians and to those other brothers who were conductors and assisted in the Degree. 

I would also like to thank Wˆ Evan Griffiths who came down from Connecticut so that he could take part in the raising of Bro. Richard A. Rattan. He was one of the brothers from Connecticut who were instrumental in introducing Bro. Rich to Masonry and then proposed him to our lodge for membership.

The March 24th meeting will be a business meeting and a presentation of the Walk About The Lodge Program for our  newly raised brothers. As most of you should know by now, the real purpose of a Masonic Lodge is to turn men into Masons and, as we move into April, that is just what we will be doing. Our Trestle Board is constantly growing, and at the present time we will have at least five (5) and possibly seven (7) candidates for our next First Degree. 

My Brothers, we are seeing the rebirth of our Fraternity. Come down to the Lodge and help make a difference. Meet and talk to our newly raised brothers. Pass on your knowledge. Greet those brothers that you have not seen for some time. The number of the lodge, #1126, F. & A.M., is constant, but everything else has changed. Become part of that change. 

Jay

Our congratulations to our newly raised members, Bro. Angel L. Aponte, Bro. David Billig, Bro. Eric Hecker, Bro. Samuel J. Pinto and Bro. Richard A. Rattan. We look forward to a long and successful Masonic career for each of you as members of this lodge.
