April 2021

Greetings Warden’s and Brethren,
Well, I personally am getting pretty optimistic about the future.  Today 4/5/21 both Lady Elaine & I received our Covid vaccine.  I was able to go to Wood River in RI and was lucky to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, so in two weeks I’m immune, or so they say.  My darling wife had to go to the Westerly Senior Center where she could only get the Pfizer dose, so 4 more weeks till immunity kicks in for her.  But, definitely a very positive outcome.  I have gone over Grand Lodge protocol for voting and want to bring up some points at our next practice and meeting.  We do this ritual O.K, but we need to start doing it “Spot On” and that starts with me.  Only some detail work needs to be done by myself and 1 – 2 brethren, and nothing major, but will make it look sharp.  Aprils meeting will have more from Br. Juan Sepulveda regarding his last video we saw when we were in “Virtual” lodge.  I think these are great and want to include them in our teaching of new brethren.  Mays meeting I hope to have a presentation on sharks, done by a local who has a shark museum downtown.  I think this will be interesting, after all, I don’t think there is anyone who saw “JAWS” for the first time in a theatre and doesn’t think twice before going to the shore (Jersey term) and going into the water.  Personally, I only do “chlorine oceans”.  Hopefully we’ll have a meal in May.  Hope both you and family are doing well.
