Greetings my Brothers,
The conferring of the FC degree has been cancelled. We are looking towards January to confer
this degree
Woodlin Lodge #30 will be giving Christmas baskets again to our widows & orphans this year.
At this point in time we are discussing the various directions we will be taking regarding the Childrens’ Christmas Party. We are not sure if we will be receiving toys from Toys for Tots due to economy.
It has been suggested that we give $20.00 checks to each child as well as having a party for them
with snacks. Why checks? Giving gift cards creates a problem (no idea as to how many cards to purchase). We have a $500.00 donation (from RW James (Butter) Allen for the Christmas party plus monies from the Square Club.
There also was a suggestion that we forego the Christmas party and concentrate on Widows & orphans.
Whatever decision is made the Christmas baskets for Widows & orphans will be take be done.
A warm hearted thank you to RW John Prewitt for another donation of $200.00 for the repair of our lodge. RW Prewitt has given a total of $800.00 for the repairs of our lodge. Again, on behalf of the lodge, we truly thank you.
The Jewel Award Banquet will take place on Jan 28th 2011. As chairperson for this event I am requesting that you forward all ads by January 5th 2011. Ads are $40.00 full page ($45.00 with photo)
$25.00 ½ page and $15.00 ¼ page.
Ticket cost: $65.00
Khufu Temple #120 A.E.A.O.N.M.S. will be having a Wild- Wild West Cabaret Saturday January 8th 2011 @ the Pennington Road Fire House - 8PM until 1:00 AM – BYOB—Cost $25.00 p/p
As stated in my last trestle bd. the bar has been showing a nice profit; however changes for the bar are still in order. One specific problem I am addressing is the noise factor (from music). We do not want to offend our neighbors nor have a problem with the Bordentown Police Dept. Our music venue will be changed.
All rentals of the recreation room will be on Saturdays. RW Frank Herron is the bar & building manager and all rentals will go thru him.
My brothers, lodge dues are due as a matter of fact they are overdue. Show cause letters have been mailed.
Respectfully Submitted,

Greetings my Brothers,
First off may I take this moment to thank all the brothers who supported our cabaret on Sept. 11th 2010.
A special thank you to Princess Chapter Leah Chapter for their participation. They really made it a fun & successful evening.
We will be working closely with Princess Leah this year on other affairs & events and I am quite sure this
relationship will continue in future years.
My Pillars & I have devised a new method in running the bar and it is working. Please adhere to any new changes you may encounter. These changes are in effect to make the bar a profitable entity for the lodge. Please keep in mind no one is permitted behind the bar without the request of those who are working the bar. This includes myself because those who are working the bar are responsible for the
receipts of the bar.
Please consider the selection of two brothers from our lodge to receive the Jewel Award this year. The selection must be made at this upcoming communication October 5th 2010.
The EA Degree is scheduled to be conferred at our November communication, please govern yourself accordingly.
The Grand Lodge Raffle is not doing as well as expected. I know the economy is suffering, but please push those raffles. We benefit as a lodge as well as the Grand Lodge.
My brothers, lodge dues are due as a matter of fact they are overdue. Show cause letters have been mailed.
I will be holding a breakfast, as before, for our Senior Brothers on October 30th 9AM @ Woodlin
Finally, my brothers, our Senior Warden Anthony Hale will be opening and closing our October communication. This is due to the fact that I suffered a heart attack and had two stents implanted
last Wednesday due to a 90% blockage in two arteries, although I feel well my cardiologist insist that I
recuperate at least three weeks.
Respectfully Submitted,

I trust everyone had an enjoyable summer.
I, for one, learned a great deal this summer which I will speak on at later date.
We encountered a break in the water service line in August . The matter caused us to have to close the the lodge for a few weeks. Luckily we were on refreshment. In terms of the repair we were quoted a price of $250.00 for the repair, which we paid. We were told by the township to add a shut off box, we were then informed the total repair would be another $750.00 totaling $1000.00. I learned a great deal from this incident. In order to make this repair we had to use monies we had saved for the roof. Rest assured the roof will be repaired.
RW E.G. Brown loaned the lodge the money to pay the
insurance ($4100) at 6% interest
over a twelve month period. The condition regarding this loan is that it will
not be amortized. Meaning we have a monthly note of $362.17. The bar along with
the affairs held by the Square Club will have to generate the funds to cover this
note. We will be diligent in keeping
track of every penny that is generated by these entities. Brothers we must support the Square Club programs and the bar to meet
our obligations.
Rentals must be paid in a timely manner. A tally sheet of all drinks in the bar will be established and only those brothers or sisters working the bar will be allowed behind the bar, because they will be responsible for maintaining accurate records of all drinks sold. As far as the sales of fish sandwiches, the number of fish per case will be counted therefore giving us an accurate account of all sales per case.
I once said do not mistake kindness for weakness. Changes have been taking place in Woodlin & changes will continue until we are on a firm foundation and if more changes are needed they will be instituted. I am only the beginning of this change my Pillars are on the same page.
You my brothers won lodge of the year for the Masonic 2008-2009 year. We can do this again with some hard work & dedication.
I could become complacent and hold my monthly meetings and let things remain status quo, but I don’t believe this is why I was elected to this office. I believe we must continuously move forward. Doing nothing will give you nothing. I have found that in most cases those who criticize the most do the least.
Foremost is the fact
that dues are over due. Dues were due July 1, 2010. This is your lodge, my brothers, please pay your dues to help
keep our lodge open. We do have regular bills to pay monthly.
September 3rd
Princess Leah will hold a chat & chew @ Woodlin starting @ 7PM. Some of us
will get there late due to Consistory degree work and the fact that some of the
brothers from Woodlin will be receiving degrees.
September 7th
– Woodlin Regular communication. Voting will take place re: those who
petitioned for membership
September 11, 2010 Woodlin's Square Club is having a cabaret at

Congratulations also
to R.W. James “Butter” Allen who was elected to the position of GRAND SECRETARY.
Congratulations to RW

Chair
Congratulations to

Greetings my Brothers,
I trust everyone is being careful in all the high temperatures we have encountered. Please stay
hydrated and stay out of the sun as much as possible.
I am back as your Worshipful Master for a second term. To be honest, I was all set to come out of the
East. Being Worshipful Master is a rather tedious and all consuming job. I do have two fantastic
pillars in Senior Warden Hale & Junior Warden Sapp. I am also blessed to have intelligent &
hard working line officers. Serving the craft of Woodlin Lodge #30 is a tedious job, but it is also
a rewarding one. As Worshipful Master I and my officers are hear to serve you and do what is
best for the craft. We had a goal last year in renovating the Lodge room. Many sacrifices had to be
made to accomplish this goal, but you made those sacrifices in terms of financing & labor. I only lay
plans on the trestle board & you, my brothers, implemented those plans and met with success. We now
a lodge room we can all be proud of. I thank each & every one of you.
This year we are going to concentrate on more family oriented programs, community programs
including the schools and also focus on charitable programs. Yes, we will be at labor again, but we
will also have fun. We will work hard and also play hard. This will be a year of bettering our position
in the community. Our Senior & Junior Wardens have some great ideas which we need your support
to implement. Through our Junior Warden we had a very successful Gospel Cruise. Those who did
not participate missed a fun filled day. The gospel cruise was & is just the beginning of what I see as
a year of brotherhood in its truest sense.
At our District meeting in June, I turned in our calendar for the year to our DDGM, Woodlin was the
the first lodge to do this You will also receive this calendar. We have included in the calendar three
church visitations, I trust you will join us in these visitations.
I am very excited about this coming year. July 3rd our Senior & Junior Wardens are sponsoring
a Family & Friends day at Woodlin. There will be activities for all. The children can enjoy
themselves in the Moon Bounce, face painting and free hot dogs, hamburgers, juice and
cotton candy. Deserts will be sold as well as fish sandwiches. The bar will be open for the adults.
September 11th we will be hosting a cabaret at Foster Military Lodge. Tickets are a mere $15.00.
Every brother of Woodlin should be there as well as their guest. I am quite sure each brother
can sell at least 6 tickets to this affair. I will have 20 to 30 guests. Assume your responsibility to
Woodlin and make this affair a success. This affair could& should be a sellout.
“ We do have a roof to be repaired” .
I want to take this moment to sincerely thank you for your support during my past
administration.
“WE” (you & me) accomplished a great deal within the lodge. You gave of your finances,
you gave of your time, you gave of your talents. Without the aforementioned we could not
have accomplished the goal I had set before you. Please give this administration your support .
In the very near future you will be presented with a program that can save you & the Lodge
money and create a residual income for the Lodge.
Congratulations to RW Pressley who has been called upon to pursue his destiny to become
a Deacon in his church.
I had the pleasure of attending all 5th district installations and I can proudly say not once
did I travel alone. Nor did I travel alone to the District Meeting.
There is so much more I could speak on but I will save the rest for Lodge meeting.
We will be marching on July 4th in Mill Creek Park, Willingboro with Foster Military Lodge #67.
I will be emailing you in reference to the time of the march
GOD Bless Woodlin Lodge & the craft.

Greetings my Brothers,
Please be advised that our June Communication will start at 7PM. We have a number of
issues to be addressed and I don’t want the brothers out late.
This is the last trestle bd. you will receive from me. I hope that those in the past were informative
and hopefully kept you abreast as to what was happening at Woodlin, the fifth district & the
Grand East.
I want to take this moment to sincerely thank you for your support during my administration.
“WE” (you & me) accomplished a great deal within the lodge. You gave of your finances,
you gave of your time, you gave of your talents. Without the aforementioned we could not
accomplished the goal I had set before you. There is more to be done. Please give your
same support to our new administration.
Our newly initiated brothers will show their proficiency at the beginning of our meeting.
RW Pressley did an excellent job as Dean of Instruction as well as Past Master George
McConnell, who put together the degree teams and worked with these teams to insure the
degrees were done correctly.
I will be visiting the B. Bernice Young Elementary School this June to give them a pizza party
in the name of Woodlin Lodge #30 F&AM PHA. I had challenged them to read 50 books,
when Bro. Bacon & I read to them during read across America month. Their teacher kept
a log of their readings and the challenge was met.
Grand Session June 27th – 29th
If you have not purchased your tickets for the Gospel Cruise (June 5th) please contact
Brother Ronald Sapp (609) 498-4554.
We are nearing our goal in raising the money necessary to repair our roof. All donations
will be greatly appreciated
As a reminder lodge dues are due July 1st 2010. Please meet your responsibility &
obligation & pay your dues in a timely fashion.
It has been an honor & pleasure serving you as Worshipful Master and again I want to
thank those who supported me & made a major goal of mine to become a reality, namely
the renovations of the lodge room. I have been truly blessed by your support. We did it
without the use of lodge money.
As far as the WM dinner dance, the committee has encountered several date conflicts;
therefore you will be given ample notice as to when and if it will occur.
Our Website address is http://www.mastermason.com/woodlin30pha/
Again please give your full support to our incoming administration, they have an abundance
of ideas & plans for Woodlin Lodge #30.
Live in peace & may the God of love & peace delight to dwell with you
