Trestle Board

Message from the East

Brethren and Family Members,

We have a big schedule for the next couple of months.  We will be conferring degrees on several candidates.  In April, we are having a Brotherhood night at the An Poitin Still restaurant.  This is an all guys night for food and fellowship.  Bring your potential candidates for Masonry out so they can see the brotherhood that exists in our fraternity.  In Nay, we will be hosting Worshipful Brother Dr. S. Brent Morris, for an evening of a discussion on Dan Brown's book "The Lost Symbol".  This meeting will be open to Masonic and non-Masonic family and friends and will include some form of dinner beforehand.

Brethren, Warren Lodge needs you!!  We have access to a beautiful building and room to hold our meetings.  We need your help to fill this room.

With the Spring and Summer approaching, time with family is important.  We are trying to make our Lodge more socially friendly.  If you have an event that you would like your Lodge to sponsor, or hold, please let me, or one of the officers, know.  This could be a picnic, bal game, auto race (dirt track or drag race) or anything else that we could include family and get to know each other better.  I believe that our children and grandchildren are the future of our Lodge.  Only through the activities and getting them involved can we expose them to Masonry.  Wivers /families play a big part in our Lodge as well.  Most wives want to know where their husbands are spending their time.  We are trying to make our lodge more family friendly so that our wives can see the kind of people you are spending time with.  Wives and family members, this invitation for ideas is open to you as well.  The phone numbers are in this communication.

 

Hope to see you at Lodge!!

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Ralph A. Fowler, Jr., PM

 


 

From the Secretary

The Lodge is reviving its Telephone for emergency notices and Funeral Notifications. A copy of the first draft, reflecting largely Line members, local Past Masters, and active members is forthcoming. If you would like to be added to the list, we will need your phone number. There are no duties attached with this system, other than making one or two phone calls if you are assigned that duty.

There are a significant number of proficient York Rite Masons now members of Warren Lodge. In fact we have sufficient talent within our Lodge alone to confer the Degrees of the Royal Arch Chapter and the Council of Royal and Select Masters. If there is interest among our members, the presiding officers of Druid Chapter and Hiram Council will sponsor an extraordinary event: Members of Warren Lodge conferring these six York Rite Degrees on Brothers of Warren who so desire. This would be scheduled for the last Saturday in October 2003. Please contact me if you are interested in being a candidate, or if you are already Exhalted, Received and Acknowledged, to help confer the degrees. (410 288-4281). The work would be done at the Temple at Bonnie Blink in full costume. Are you still seeking further Light?

Warren Lodge No. 51 has a web site that you may visit:
www.mdmasons.org/gl/No.51/default.htm

This site, for now, is an electronic version of this Lodge Communication. If there is a Lodge member who would like to work with our webmaster, Bro. Tom Velvin, we can make this site even more interesting. If you do a search on the Internet, you will find there is another Warren Lodge No. 51, located in Portland, CT. We have been in communication with them recently. They were founded about the same time we were. There is a lot of interesting Masonic information available for those who explore the world wide web. If you have the opportunity, look about and keep looking for further light.

Avrum "Al" Tamres, P.M.
Secretary
