Much as the fall weather has come on us
fast, so too has October passed and
November approaches.

We shall be seeking to accomplish two main
events this coming November meeting.
One, we shall enjoy a visitation from a
Brother from the Collegivm, Dr. Josh Irizarry,
who will engage us with a program on his
much acclaimed topic: "Was Confucius a
Mason?" This is sure to be an invigorating
presentation, to say nothing of the
discussions that could follow.

In addition, we have received requests for
Masonic Relief from our Brethren in the
Carolina's and the other affected
Southeastern States, in the wake of the
hurricanes. It is our intention to raise funds
through the meal and a raffle to make a
donation. We would appreciate any
donations to the raffle, as well as any other
contributions in kind, to this cause of charity.

I think it would be quite fitting for those
organizations to have Masonic charity as a
reason to give thanks this coming
Thanksgiving! I look forward to all of you
attending!

Wardens & Brethren,

October has come to us, and a busy month it
is looking to be.

Sunday the 7th is the Columbus Day Parade,
and Franklin Lodge will be marching again!
Please join me and the other officers as we
bring Light to our Fraternity.

October the 10th is our regular
communication, wherein we will be passing
brothers to the Degree of Fellowcraft. The
officers have done an outstanding job
roaring back from Summer’s relaxation to
the significant work that this degree entails.

20 October is the Grand Lodge Open House
in Providence. DDGM Gil has specifically
asked that we make the trip up if we can to
support.

21 October is the Special Ladies Luncheon –
for which there is yet time to RSVP if you
haven’t!

The 27th is a Halloween Party being put on
by the Rainbow Girls, for any of us Brethren
with young kids.

Like I said, a busy month indeed! I look
forward to sharing in all these good labors
with you all!
​
Fraternally,
Joseph Giancaspro
Master, Franklin Lodge #20
