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
