FROM THE EAST:
Brothers,
At this time of thanksgiving, it is important to keep your brothers in mind. Call a brother just to say hi and to check in on him. Thinking about your brothers and checking in on them will take a few minutes of your time, but if you’re having a bad day, it will bring you up and might even make you smile. Also remember our shut in’s and check on them, just to say hi and that they are not forgotten.

Kevin Schmidt



FROM THE WEST



FROM THE SOUTH

Hello
I hope everyone is doing well and recovering from all the food from the Thanksgiving Holiday. If you missed our meeting in November, I am sad to say you missed an excellent Thanksgiving meal that night. As the Junior Warden I especially enjoyed it because several of the Brothers brought a dish and it came out really excellent. Oh yeah talking about all this food reminded me that we are cleaning out the refrigerators out. If its your and you need it and do not want it thrown out. Please market with name and date. Thank you.
I would like to congratulate R.W. Ed Slauson 32 ° for getting his KCCH ( Knight Commander of the Court of Honor) as stated in the Welcome to Scottish Rite quick reference guide. Masters of the Royal Secret who distinguish themselves by zeal, devotion and active services to humanity and/or the Fraternity. My Brother in my eyes you exceed that! Also I would like to Congratulate Illustrious Dominick Tesoriere. For receiving is 33°, You are an inspiration to the District.
Since I am congratulating people, I guess I should congratulate all the Officers that have been Elected and Appointed for 2022. I look forward to working with you all.
Please remember that there is only one meeting in December. So please come see us Tuesday, December 14.

Brethren,
Here is a brief list of some symbols found on Masonic Jewels and their meaning, taken from Insignia of Office & Honor by Arturo De Hoyos, 33°
All-seeing Eye. The Great Architect of the Universe sees all, and rewards humankind according to their actions.
Anchor and Ark. A life well spent and a deeply-rooted hope.
Beehive. Cooperation and industry.
Chisel. Discipline, and the advantages of education.
Coffin. An emblem of Mortality, reminding us of our common end
Crown. Nobility or royalty
G. Initial letter of God and Geometry.
Gauge. A reminder of divided time and proportional work.
Gavel. An emblem of authority. Also, the force of conscience.
Holy Bible, square and compasses. The rule and guide to faith and practice, undeviating proper conduct, and the circumscription of appetites , desires , and passions.
Hourglass. A reminder of the brevity of life.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays

JW Marc Dicaprio




From the Secretary's Desk:

Brethren,

Another Masonic year has come to an end. St Johns has had lots of happenings and as many events and upgrades. 2022 Dues cards invoices have been mailed out. If you don't received yours, please make sure your address in Grand Lodge's Circumscribe is correct. You will notice there are a couple of voluntary donations added to your invoice. When reviewing these donations let us not forget our OBLIGATIONS, and give from your heart. Tiz the season for giving, shopping and family. Please be cognizant of your surrounding when out in the public sector. Stay safe and remember to LOCK you vehicles and cover your packages when shopping. PS apologies for the glitch in transmitting the Nov. trestle board on time.

Fraternally,
W:. Mitchell R Franklin PM,32*
