​Greetings Warden's and Brethren,
 
At our next communication we will be welcoming
a reprehensive from the Westerly Ambulance Service 
who will give instruction on how to use the
AED machines that we have in the temple.
 
Regarding Ritual, we still hope to have our
EA get passed to FC through a "Courtesy
Degree".  That would mean we
would be raising our FC to the Sublime Degree of
Master Mason in February. This would be
"Step Down” degree, meaning after our
Annual meeting in January we would step
back to the chairs we are currently in for the 
Master Mason Degree.  We will be
rehearsing for the Master Mason degree
between now & February.

​Greetings Warden's and Brethren,
 
Well, it looks like our FC will be ready to do
their proficiency in October. We have also
been told that Mt. Vernon Lodge will be doing
their FC degree on Thursday, October 21. They
have generously offered to do a curtesy degree
for our FC. This will allow us to hopefully raise
our Fellowcraft to the Master Mason degree in
December or January.
 
We will also be starting something new in
October which I hope will continue with every
Franklin Lodge meeting going forward. I do
not feel we get any assistance regarding
"Masonic Education" or specific education or
how we "Make Good Men Better".  Therefore,
we will start doing it ourselves. During
Collation after ever meeting we will be doing
"Masonic Jeopardy". 20 Questions, 10
Masonic and 10 General Questions to help
educate us in everything we do on a dally,
seasonal, business and social basis. "We make
Good Men Better” can't just be a tag Line. We
actually, have to do the work to make us all
better Men.

​Greetings Warderns and Brethren,
 
I hope your refreshment break for
summer was both restful and enjoyable.
September starts labor and with it we
will be taking our new brethren through
Trestle Board readings. We also have a
memorial service for late W. Brother
Bill Penhallow. The service will be
Saturday, September 18th. I am asking
as many brethren that can make it to
please attend. W. Brother Penhallow did
a lot for both Franklin Lodge as well as
the Craft over the man decades he was
active. I'm asking all brethren to meet
at the lodge at 1:00 pm. Service will
start at 1:30. There will also be a
collation after the service. The meal for
our September meeting will shaved
steak.
