From the East

October 2017

Wardens and Brethren,
 
It’s amazing how time flies during a year. It just hit me that I only have a few months left of my term. I honestly must say that I have enjoyed my time in the east. Unfortunately though, I will not be presiding over our October meeting. I am scheduled to have back surgery the day before, so I am handing over the craft to Brother Senior Warden Joe Giancaspro for the night.  I am confident that he will execute the work of the evening flawlessly.

Last month we accomplished a lot of work and business at our meeting. For those who had missed it, Most Worshipful Grand Master Peter Iacobucci and Past Grand Master Richard Ault presented W.: Bob Raby with his Grand Master’s Award via skype video call. It was a tremendous amount of fun and MWGM thinks it’s the first virtual presentation, at least in our jurisdiction.  

Last month, the By-Laws committee presented Franklin with their proposed by-laws, and after discussion, we have moved it forward to vote upon in October’s meeting.   As a reminder, any changes to our bylaws needed to have due notice and be recorded in the previous meetings minutes to vote on them, which they have been.  They also require two-thirds majority to carry.  My thanks once again goes out the committee for the tremendous amount of work put forth.
​
Finally, our work for the evening will be the EA proficiency, followed by the FC degree on our three candidates.  With me not going to be available that night, I know this has put some added pressure on our officer line, but I know they will give our candidates a great degree.
 
I am still hoping that I can make it to the meeting in some way, to support our brethren, our lodge and our candidates.
 
Fraternally and Respectfully,
Bro. Ralph E. Brunson
Master
