January 2021

Brethren,
Well, as of this date it looks like 2021 is going to be just as exciting, scary, challenging, costly and unpredictable as 2020. The above feelings are only the tip of the iceberg, since we all face different situations depending on things like age, work status, health issues of not just ourselves but other family members, having to stay home because kids are not in school, losing your job or having hours/ tips drastically cut. I myself manage a liquor retail store and get personally close to about 250 people a day.
If I get elected to the Masters Chair again, I hope to be able to bring some fun presentations to our monthly meeting. I have a tour of both a distillery as well as a brewery and winery being put together. This should be a lot of fun, because it will include “Free Samples” of the products. Could not do this in an Open Lodge, so need to take advantage of these situations and have them work for us. You will be getting an R.S.V.P. invitation to each of these meetings. Free sample will be sent to all who say they will attend.
And yes, I am working on getting Free and Accepted Mason’s into the Thanksgiving Day parade. This will probably take another year or two, but hopefully the smallest state in the union can have a big impact on the future of Masonry.

​See you in 2021.
