FROM THE EAST:



Brother’s
The other day I was having a bad day and things just seemed to go from bad to worse. I was knee deep in my job and trying to multi-task doing lodge work. When I was talking to my officers and getting frustrated with the answers I was getting, it made matters worse. Things got a bit out of control and things were about to be said that would not do anyone any good. Then the SD put us in our place by saying something I needed to hear and remember. My Brothers, “Let us be united, and practice with diligence the sacred tenets of our Order. Let all private animosities, if any unhappily exist, give place to affection and Brotherly Love
Brother’s. That was the one thing I needed to hear. We recite the opening and closing charges at our meeting, but do we hear what is being said? Or do we choose to let it go in one ear and out the other?
WM:. Kevin Schmidt

FROM THE SOUTH



Hello from the South,
Hope this finds everyone well. Things have been busy around the Lodge; everyone has something going on and that is wonderful. I would just like to ask that everyone, not just “the ones in charge” keep an eye out and help keep things cleaned and straightened up. Remember our fraternity don’t live up to a higher standard, we make the standard. (Look throughout history)
By the time you are reading this our pork butt fundraiser will be completed and I sure hope you all got in on it. Several members of the Lodge will be up all-night smoking them der butts.
I would like to remind everyone that the Sorosis Club in Orange City has asked for our help with their Annual Haunted House. They need help with construction and cast while its open. I have helped in the past and it has always been a good time. If you are interested contact me.
If you haven’t been to Lodge in a while, you really are missing out. We have some excellent Brothers coming up. Come tell your stories to them. Ignite their zeal to learn and reignite yours. We all win.
May Abundance fall on all who read this and spread to everyone they gaze upon.






From the Secretary's Desk:

Brethren,

I am Very Proud to say, That aside from the NPD's from 2020, there are N O brothers in peril of being
suspended for NPD in masonic year 6021AL. Well done Good and Faithful Servants, Thou has been faithful over these things. The GMOV is happening this month in Deland, I hope all have made their respective RSVP's to DDGM Dishman in time. I hope to see your there.
