KEITH DREIER, GRAND MASTER F. KEITH DREIER Grand Master Brothers, we have reached that time of year when each of us has a greater good in mind. The month of December is a special month for everyone as we approach that special day of the year and a new beginning. Why is it that in the month of December every person has a bigger smile, a greater feeling for mankind? What is so different than the other eleven months of the year? Is it that we are too busy to stop and REACH OUT TO A BROTHER? Our fraternity teaches us to help those in need. Do you all remember the line in the Entered Apprentice Degree that says “this is to remind you of your now poor and penniless condition, should you find a brother, more especially, a brother Mason in like poor and penniless condition, you should come to his relief as liberally as possible, without detriment to yourself or family”. Does it say anything about only in the month of December? Let us each take our obligations seriously and remember that we are a fraternity that builds itself with good men by taking good men and making them better. Let us each as we approach the end of 2007 and the new beginning of 2008 make an effort to have the same passion toward each other and our fellow man in each and every month as we do in December. Let us all not forget those who are less fortunate. Remember that we are responsible for those brothers and sisters that reside in our Masonic Homes that are under our Masonic Care. To help them have full, enriching lives, Debbie and I invite you to support them through the Fruits of Our Labor program. Why not adopt one of them for a day or two? Fruits of Our Labor donations go 100% directly to the Masonic Care residents. What a wonderful gift for them at this time of year! The month of December also brings about another time of year, election of officers. The election of officers is a very important event in the life of our lodges. A time when we must elect a brother to govern the lodge as Master. He must be true and trusty, a lover of the fraternity, one so qualified to preside over them in the capacity of Master. He should be exemplary in conduct, easy of address, steady and firm in principle, well skilled in the ancient charges, regulations and landmarks of the order. This brother will lead the lodge for the ensuing year and must be ready to guide the lodge and its members for the betterment of the fraternity. Let us not forget “That from the Craft we came so to it we must all return”. Choose well my brothers, for the next several years will determine the future of our beloved fraternity forever! As the Holiday Season is upon us, Debbie and I wish each of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God bless you and keep you in his Holy Spirit. ‘MASONRY MATTERS’ Freemasons District Deputy Grand Master Mitch Phillips (right) presents a check to Marshall County High School Principal Trent Lovett, with Marshall County Chapter Representatives looking on. The Marshall County Freemasons are once again finding ways to give back to the community. Recently, representatives from the Briensburg No. 401, Calvert City No. 543, Hardin Berkley No. 567, T.L. Jefferson-Benton No. 662, Doric No. 737, and Alford No. 925 Masonic Lodges met with District Deputy Grand Master Mitch Phillips to present donations totalling $2,051 to Marshall County High School Principal Trent Lovett as part of a newly implemented agenda known as “Masonry Matters.” The program was initiated by Supreme Court Justice (and fellow Mason) Bill Cunningham, whom after speaking with members in the area about the relevance of the Freemasons in society today, encouraged local members to raise money for aiding Marshall County students to participate in school activities, or even just basic needs, that might not otherwise be able to afford them. “It’s an unbelievable help,” said Lovett. “You don’t ever, especially in our position, want some- one to miss out on something because they couldn’t afford it.” All contributions are purely free will, and go toward such things as field trips, extra-curricular activities, school clothes and supplies, and any other school related areas of need. The only stipulation is that each student assisted be informed that funds were provided by the Marshall County Masons. Initial fundraising took approximately two months of simple “passing the hat” during business meetings at the six county Lodges, though the program is set to be an ongoing process, with donations to be made to Marshall County High School on a monthly basis. The program is the first undertaking of its kind by the Masons in the area, and currently Marshall County is the only participant, though the Masons hope the idea will catch on, particularly in the remainder of the district which is composed of three counties: Marshall, Graves, and Calloway. 1 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 15 17 18 20 28 29 Grand Masters Itinerary December 2007 Grand Junior Warden Reception Middletown #732 Fraternal Relations Meeting Scottsville Children Night McKinney #631 Red Cross Banquet Fred M.

MCHS school administration and the children who will benefit, I’m sure couldn’t agree more. by Mary Garrison Tribune-Courier Reporter MASONIC HOME JOURNAL December, 2007 JOSEPH R. CONWAY, P.G.M. Grand Secretary HOLIDAY SEASON As yet another year comes to a close, and we prepare to celebrate another Holiday Season, many of us are again saddened by the loss of family members, close friends and Brethren. It is a strong and understandable human trait to have these feelings of sadness, and even despair, in remembering those who were with us at this time last year- but have since been called to their heavenly reward. However, in the beginning there was a great promise made to us by the Grand Architect of the Universe that should gladden our hearts and bring eternal light to crowd out this darkness of sadness and despair; His promise to care for those who put their trust in Him. With that happy thought in mind, we can take great comfort in the knowledge that our loved ones are in the arms of a loving and caring God, and are enjoying eternal bliss. So as we move into the spirit of this meaningful Holiday season, on behalf of the Grand Lodge Office Staff, Mary, Christy, Jamie, Jeanne, Peg and yours truly, we wish for each of you the happiest of the Holiday Season, and may the “Reason for the Season” keep each of us mindful of our obligations to exemplify the tenets of our Fraternity, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth; those tenets revered by Freemasons worldwide!! GRAND LODGE OFFICE CLOSED The Grand Lodge Office will be closed, Monday, December 24 and Wednesday, December 26, 2007, for the Christmas Holiday and Monday, December 31, 2007 for New Years.

REED, Editor Emeritus year, how easy it is to overlook some of the routine functions the lodge Secretaries must perform to keep our records current. Listed below are several items that should be taken care of as soon as the information is available. LIST OF LODGE OFFICERS AND MASONIC DIRECTORY FOR 2008 The next task facing the Grand Secretary's Office is compiling the Masonic Directory. At the end of November each lodge should have received a form on which to list the officers elected for the year, the address and telephone number[s] of the three principal officers and the Secretary. As soon as the officers are elected, please complete this form and send it to the Grand Secretary's Office as quickly as possible in order that we may process the information for the Directory. DO NOT hold up the notice if a Junior Officer has not been elected or appointed at that time. It is important that the Master and Secretary be listed in the Directory- any of the other officers may be reported at a later date as they are elected or appointed. Please note that you are to identify each officer by name and Lodge membership number. This procedure will reduce the opportunity for error in the Lodge Officer listing. For the Directory to be meaningful, we must have it available as early as possible after the beginning of the New Year. If the completed form from your lodge has not been received in the Grand Secretary's Office before January 10, 2008, there is a good chance the officers of your lodge will not be listed in the Directory. Please do not let this happen. Also, on the same form, we ask that you furnish the exact address, or location, of your lodge so that it can be easily found from the information Page 3 provided in the Directory. It has come to our attention a number of lodges have relocated -- or their address has been changed -- with the old address still listed in the Directory. Hopefully, with the information you provide, the new Directory can be brought up to date. IRS REPORTING FORM Also, on the bottom of the Lodge Officers form mentioned above is a space to list the information required by the Internal Revenue Service from each Subordinate Lodge. The information received from the Subordinate Lodges is compiled in this office and a summary transmitted to the IRS. Failure on the part of a Lodge Secretary to respond may result in a visit from an IRS Representative -- and there are penalties involved that could be imposed for failure to report. Be sure the form is signed by the Lodge Secretary and the seal of the Lodge is placed thereon. Thanks to the elected and appointed Grand Lodge Officers, the Brethren, my family and guest who visited Hiram Lodge No. 4 on the occasion of Awards Night at which I received my 50 year Grand Lodge of Kentucky Masonic Veterans Award. It was a very pleasant and humbling surprise, even though I had to endure a mild and somewhat revealing “Roast” by the Grand Master and a selected few. Freemasonry is said to be a way of life—but it is the Brethren that keeps it alive and relevant. Thanks for making the occasion a lasting and memorable night for me THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle; every cubic inch of space is a miracle. — WALT WHITMAN, LEAVES OF GRASS GENERAL CARL DON BLACK INDUCTION INTO AVIATION HALL OF FAME General Carl Don Black, recipient of the President’s Award from the National Sojourners, was inducted into the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame on November 3, 2007.

MASONIC MEMBERSHIP CARD I hold in my hand a little scrap of paper 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches in size. It is of no intrinsic worth, not a bond, not a check or receipt for valuables, yet it is my most priceless possession. It is my membership card in a Masonic Lodge. It tells me that I have entered into a spiritual kinship with my fellow Masons to practice charity in word and deed; to forgive and forget the faults of my brethren; to hush the tongues of scandal and innuendo; to care for the crippled, the hungry and the sick, and to be fair and just to all mankind. It tells me that no matter where I may travel in the world, I am welcome to visit a place where good fellowship prevails among brothers and friends. It tells me that my loved ones, my home, and my household are under the protection of every member of this great Fraternity, who has sworn to defend and protect mine as I have sworn to defend and protect theirs. It tells me that should I ever be overtaken by adversity or misfortune through no fault of my own, the hands of every Mason on the face of the earth will be stretched forth to assist me in my necessities. And finally, it tells me that when my final exit from the stage of life has been made, there will be gathered around my lifeless body, friends and brothers who will recall to mind my virtues, though they be but few, and will forget my faults, though they may be many. It tells me that, and a great deal more, this little card, and makes me proud yet humble, that I can possess this passport into a Society of Friends and brothers that are numbered in the millions.

Form for Changing Address on Masonic Home Journal December, 2007 MASONIC HOME JOURNAL MASONIC HOME, KY 40041-9999 CHANGE SERVICE REQUESTED Masonic Community Outreach On November 3rd Wickliffe Lodge used their monthly breakfast to raise money to help the Tim Tipton family with the expenses they have incurred over the last year and a half while their daughter Jessica has been in and out of the hospital. The Master of the Lodge, Leon Blankenship, presented Jessica Tipton a check for $775 on November 13. Mr. Tipton said Jessica was home from the hospital for good and is in remission at this time. She will only be going back to the hospital for periodical checkups. Jessica is looking forward to returning to Ballard County Middle School after the Christmas break. Wickliffe Lodge serves an “all you can eat” breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, biscuits, gravy, juice, milk and coffee from six O’clock until ten O’clock for $5 the first Saturday each of each month. One hundred and fifty eight people had breakfast with the Lodge and many of them made extra donations. A number of people sent donations that were not even at the breakfast. The members and officers of Wickliffe Lodge want to thank everyone that came out for their support in this effort and invite you to eat with us next month on the first Saturday in December. Pictured Leon Blankenship, Master of Wickliffe Lodge # 625, presents a check to Jessica Tipton.
