Worshipful Master's Message for October, 2004

     Brethren,

                       At our September Stated Meeting, we honored our Past Masters. There were 21 in attendance, even one from Atlantic City. What a great night to thank these Past Masters for building the Craft to pass on. Thank you to all our Past Masters.

                    By the time you read this, the One-Day Class will be history. Greenleaf Lodge had 19 new members in the class, plus 4 earlier this year and 1 transfer for a total of 24 members for the year. Thank you all who worked so hard to reach this level. We need to work one on one with each of them so they can learn the things they missed in the One Day Class. "To teach them our Craft." We still need petitions to show our new members the traditional way of conferring Degrees.

                    COMMERCIAL!!! Our 122'nd Annual Banquet is on Monday, November 1, 2004. Come meet General Harry Trexler and have a fun night with your lady. Mark your calendars and write those checks now. Also, Bus Trip to New York City to see the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday, November 6, 2004. Fun for all ages, cost is $105.00 for bus and show. Please do not wait until the last minute to sign up.

                    At the October Stated Meeting, Brother Jerry Hamilton from Philadelphia will be the speaker. I have heard him at the Pennsylvania Research Lodge and he is very good. I think we can all learn something about Masonry from him. Plan to attend.

                    See you at the Stated Meeting. As always, no test to get in.
