From The East
B
rethren,
Last
month we initiated three new Entered Apprentices. All of our officers
did a fantastic job with the ritual and gave our youngest new members an
experience to remember. We had a great crowd for a night at the end of a long holiday
weekend, and I hope that everyone there was as impressed by the work of the evening as I
know the candidates were. I know that sometimes ritual can be tedious for those of us who
have seen it many, many times, but let’s not forget the work that goes into it and that it’s
always someone’s first time seeing it. If you come out to support the candidates I guarantee
you’ll get something new out of it yourself.
This month we’re trying something a little different. After our meeting we’ll be having a Festive
Board! A festive board is very similar to a table lodge in form and function. There are seven
toasts, a U shaped table, and a ton of fraternity. The major difference is that a Table Lodge
occurs in open Lodge as part of the official meeting, and a Festive Board happens after the
meeting is closed. Since the lodge is closed during a Festive Board we have a little more
freedom and flexibility with the toasts and the way the whole meeting is conducted. If you’ve
never been to a Festive Board, it’s sure to be an exciting experience!
Beyond our meeting this month please look to attend the following social and service events
coming up soon:
•
February 7 – Family Bowling at Lucky Strike at 2pm. Please contact Bro. Jeremy Harold
for details and to RSVP at either jharold64@yahoo.com or 617.501.5707
•
March 21 – Cradles to Crayons Service Event at 10am. Please contact Bro. Tommy
Nogueira for details and to RSVP at either tomnog83@gmail.com or 781.223.2744
•
As always all of the upcoming events are on the calendar at themasslodge.com under the
member portal, so if you haven’t registered yet, get to it!
Looking forward to seeing you on February 16th!
Cordially and Fraternally,
