Brethren,
 
As January comes to close and February is closing in fast, we all know what means. Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it. As Masons we need to not only think about spending too much on flowers or chocolates for our spouses.  But also, the spouses of our deceased members who may be alone.  So, if you know anyone in that situation please reach out. And wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day.

 On January 20th the raffle committee met and discussed what our major fundraiser will be.  We went over all the prizes, cost, etc.  Although there are a couple of items we need to sort out.  I plan on going into February’s meeting with list of prizes and the members will be voting on it.  I know this will be a huge accomplishment in our lodge. Since we haven’t done a big raffle like this one since 2019.

 January 28th at 7:00 PM, our monthly School of Instruction will be at Honesdale Lodge #218.  Members at 7:00 PM and Masters and Wardens meeting will be held at 7:30 PM. Our participation has been low the past couple years at these meetings.  So please Brethren if you’re available that night, it would be great to see some new faces and maybe we can take home the traveling gavel.  Where it belongs in Waymart.

Fraternally Yours,

James Armstrong, 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
