Masters Message February 2012 Print E-mail

Greetings Brethren,

Hope this message finds warm and safe in the comforts of what we call home. Let us not forget those around us that may not have the luxury of adjusting the thermostat up a few degrees to take off that cold chill. We should remember to give as liberally as we can without injury to ourselves. Giving and helping is a Mason’s tenant that should not be reserved to just the holiday season.

I am happy to announce that the “Scotch & Stogie” night was a huge success. It should be noted that we cleared $400.00 for the “good of the Lodge”. I would like to thank a few Brothers’ that have made it possible. Brother Steve Catanzaro for providing the venue and delicious food, Brother Eric Chaika for his expertise of selecting and providing us with some truly fine cigars and lastly to Brother Andrew Sholes for (as always) managing the money and running the raffle. To all others that made donations in any form, I thank you. We had nearly 50 people attend and it was made up of both Masons and non-Masonic friends. As every day passes we are getting closer and closer to eliminating our deficit. Collectively between the add book program, dinners and raffles, and our 50/50 lottery I foresee a gross income of $13,800.00. By the end of my term, the Lodge should net close to $8500.00!

Ahh…those glorious words, “The end of my term” While mentioning that statement it is important that ALL Past Masters get in touch with the Secretary on your availability to meet and discuss next year. We still have a break in “the line” and we need to meet so we may plan to keep the momentum and good moral we have experienced this year.

I am proud to make the announcement that Redwood is the first Lodge in the in the State to initiate a candidate that is 18 years old. The ceremony was held as a courtesy in Overseas Lodge. I would like thank the Master and Officers of Overseas, as well as our own Secretary for a job well done. Redwood welcomes Josh Kaufman in being brought to light. It is truly a milestone for Rhode Island Masonic as well as Redwood history.

This Month brings us Valentine’s Day. We will have a Valentine’s Dinner to include our ladies and significant others. Please call and make your reservations early. This dinner will be an open event, so please invite family and friends to join us.

From The Secretary: Your 2012 Dues are Due Now.
I am in the process of dropping brothers who have not paid dues for 2010 and 2011. If you think that you are one of the ones I may drop, please CONTACT ME. We are in the process of cleaning up the membership roles so we only pay Grand Lodge Assessments on Brother’s who pay them to the lodge. The Lodge can no longer afford to do this.
