From the East

My Brothers, My apologies for missing the entire month of May. It was unavoidable due to work. I trust and know that our S.W. Alex Ferrari did a great job sitting in the East for me.


As you know we are approaching our annual Grand Lodge Communication starting May 29th - June 1st. It has been and will continue to be in my eyes one of the greatest honors, to be one of your representatives and expressing your voice in the future legislation of this Great Fraternity. We still have one piece of legislation to discuss and get your opinion on how we vote before heading to Grand Lodge. We will be talking about this on the first meeting in May. I look forward to seeing you all there, I’m sure our J.W. Has a nice meal set for us.


God Bless.

Fraternally,

W∴ Anthony W. Denton

From the South



Brethren, greeting from the South!


I started taking note of the headcount of Brothers and guests having dinner and would like to share with you:

  • 12/16/2021: 25 people

  • 02/03/2022: 25 people

  • 02/17/2022: 32 people

  • 03/03/2022: 28 people

  • 03/17/2022: 50 people (DDGM visit)

  • 04/08/2022: 35 people

  • 04/21/2022: 45 people

  • Average: 31 people

I am happy to see our Lodge thriving. During the last meeting on the Entered Apprentice degree, we had in the room pretty much all 9 Lodges from our District. Our degree team put a remarkable degree again, and I am very proud of them.


I am committed to providing a delicious dinner. I have a special thank you for my Stewards Brothers Nick Richard and Jesse Mercado and Brothers Sam Goldstein and W:.Hal Peritz. They are Amazing Brothers and a great team.


I hope to see a full Lodge again at our next meetings. Count me in!


I offer special prayers for our Brothers and families in need. I am always a phone call away from those who need me.


Fraternally,

J.W. Rafael Salles



 


From the Secretary




Fraternal Greetings Brothers.


May is a big month for Florida Masons as we attend Grand Lodge at the end of the month. If you have never attended a Grand Communication, you are missing a fine example of fraternal comradery. A huge ball room with more Mason’s than you have ever seen. The opening ceremonies are beautiful as Past Grand Masters as well a sitting Grand Masters from our various Jurisdictions (States) enter. The East is arranged exactly like a lodge room where the Grand Master opens Grand Lodge in Ample Form. Do not cheat yourself out of wonderful opportunity, attend a Grand Communication.


As we are now in May, Brothers who have not paid their 2022 dues are six months in arrears. Please avoid past due letters and kindly remember your obligation when you signed your petition and supplement form, and remit dues on a timely manner.

Just to remind you, the lodge is not able to accept charge cards, but we do accept PayPal, checks and of course cash.


Brethren, please always contact the Secretary for any membership or dues related information. No other officer of the lodge maintains these records or files. Also remember to inform the Secretary of any home address, phone, or email address changes.


Fraternally,

R:.W:. Mike Sinatra

Secretary

My Brothers,


With the importance of education in the Ritual work of our fraternity we are blessed to have such a strong District instructing team available to help. We are excited to provide a School of Instruction every Saturday morning at Harmonia Lodge including at Open Books every third Saturday (WITH A GOURMET BREAKFAST FOR $8.00) prepared by chef Lou. We will also be providing a School of Instruction the first Monday of the month at every MMA meeting. We are delighted and eager now to welcome ALL Masons, that includes Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts to Open Books with an RSVP to me from their Worshipful Master or Secretary of his Lodge. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments or would like information on receiving a proficiency card for the hard work you have put in. We are also now in the process of putting together a District competition team in the Fellow Craft Degree, please contact me to join.


Fraternally & Sincerely,

R:.H:. Sal Musumeci 25th District Instructor

The Grand Lodge of Florida encourages all members of the Craft to further their knowledge of Lodge operation, especially those concerning the Elected and Appointed

I am impressed with the style and thoroughness of the Trestleboard. Although I have not been to BocaDelray Lodge in a while, I hope to return in May. Thank you to all my brothers who have been in contact during my illness.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Brother Bill Greenberg
