Brethren,
Spring
is just around the corner.
The days are growing warmer, and the sun is
shining longer.
As that glorious orb intensifies, it energizes
many of us to emerge from our indoor hibernation to become more active outside
our homes.
Shortly,
we will have tickets ready for our first of 2 fundraisers we have planned for
the year.
The plan for this year is to hold a daily ticket drawing
in June for cash prizes and another daily ticket drawing for guns or cash in
November.
As with last year’s fundraiser, there will be 1,000
tickets for each one and the winners will be based on the daily number.
We need the help of all brethren to make these
fundraisers successful so that we can continue our charitable work and do much
needed maintenance on our lodge hall.
As
soon as the tickets are available, I will let you know.
On
this day in history, March 7th:
1850
- Senator and Brother Daniel Webster spoke out in support of the Compromise of
1850, which sought to maintain a balance between free and slave states.
This was a very controversial piece of legislation
because it called for the return of fugitive slaves but was pivotal in keeping
the South from seceding for another 10 years.
1876
- Alexander Graham Bell receives a patent for the telephone. Although he is
credited as the inventor of the telephone, the principles of the telephone were
discovered by an unconfirmed Freemason, Antonio Meucci, in 1849 and he had a
working model by 1859.
1939
- Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians record the song, “Auld Lang Syne,” that
was adapted from the poem written by Brother Robert Burns in 1788.
1965
- Civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery that turned violent when the
marchers were attacked by state and local police.
I hope to see you in Lodge. Our program for March will be on Brother
Edward Jenner, the inventor of the smallpox vaccine.
Fraternally,
Michael Brundage, WM
Being neither a Christian nor a Jew, a Muslim nor a Hindu, being
a Democrat nor a Republican.
Being black, white, Hispanic, Asian, nor Indian.
Being rich nor poor, has anything to do with me amongst my brethren
behind this door. Only my trust
in God, the faith in my brothers, and the charity given to mankind because
of my actions matter in this place.
I AM A FREEMASON
