Trestle Board

From the East My Brothers, What, March already? Wow, the year is flying as we slipped the brunt of heavy winter weather blanketing much of the eastern seaboard.

Meantime, those of us taking part in the degrees stay sharp, we have…

From the East Brothers, We begin a new year, and with it we should all renew our interest, reflect on our journey thus far, and buff our pride in our fraternity. Read a book on Freemasonry, watch a video, and never stop learning. Not one of us is here by accident. We have made commitments…

From the East Brothers, this year for me has been one of the most exciting, humbling, enriching, challenging and most of all FUN experiences of my life. I have loved serving our great lodge this year as Master, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your trust and faith in me to lead.…

From the East Greetings Brothers! The importance of the third degree can’t be overstated. On Saturday morning June the 14th, we will raise three new brothers as Master Masons in our wonderful fraternity. This is the last time we will have to make an impression on these men with regards to their degree work. It…
