Master’s Message – February 2023

February 2, 2023John QuirozFrom the East

Brethren,

Our next Stated communication and dinner will be Wednesday February 8th – As per lodge tradition, it is our night to honor the ladies as we will invite the ladies and guests into the lodge room for our annual Valentines/Sweethearts presentation.

As the Rainbow girls will be joining us, the Feb Stated dinner will NOT include dessert (by design), however the Rainbow girls will be there  to  “auction” off desserts. We will be auctioning off both whole and by slice pies/cakes. The intent for the whole ones is to take home with you (or at least wait until after our Stated meeting to share). If you want, you can always buy a slice for another at your table. So be sure to bring some cash and/or checkbook.   During our Stated, the Rainbow girls will be giving the Ribbon Talk followed by a short presentation.  

I am also pleased to announce that the long-awaited Brunch will kick off on March 11th. This is Sunnyside’s normal Stated meeting date. At this meeting in March, it will also be the Grand Master’s Official Visit. The brunch is free and open to all members and bodies (including their families) that meet in our building. The brunch starts between 11:30 and noon, right after Sunnyside’s Stated meeting. Ladies normally meet at the lodge for fellowship around 9:30am. I do ask that Masons attending the brunch come to Sunnyside’s Stated meeting which starts at 10am.

  • Feb 4th –  Ritual Practice 1pm
  • Feb 8th – Stated meeting, 6:30pm Dinner, Meeting at 7:30pm

Words from Famous Freemasons

It has not been my fortune to know very much of Freemasonry, but I have had the great fortune to know many Freemasons and have been able in that way to judge the tree by its fruit. I know of your high ideals. I have seen that you hold your meetings in the presence of the open Bible, and I know that men who observe that formality have high sentiments of citizenship, of worth, and character. That is the strength of our Commonwealth and nation.

— Calvin Coolidge
