From The East
Greetings, Brethren!

Greetings Brethren
Appears we will have some new candidates for April, May, and June. I knew two of them prior to joining, due to becoming friend then a brother to Bro John Herrmann. Also we may have a few more due to communications I have received.

The gavel raid went well for us at Boylston Lodge. We brought 6 brethren from our lodge. We are attempting another raid at Joel H. Prouty Lodge on the 26th. . I would have written this prior to us going there, hopefully we are successful. My goal was to have a traveling gavel at each of our stations. One East, West, and South, for two reasons. First, it looks impressive that we are out collecting traveling Gavels. Second, it gets our brethren out to visit other lodges and meet a great bunch of guys from all over.

We had a great speaker for our February meeting. Bro David W. Faulkner spoke about the Shriners and the hospitals. More especially the burn institute in Boston. It’s a miracle what they can do for children with burn scars. The Shriners need everyone’s support and more members.
With April coming up I will be running our semi-annual paintball event. This time we will have the Worcester Demolay boys to contend with and hopefully some of the Rainbow girls.

A notice to all the brethren that have not or can not come to our meetings. You have been missing out on our amazing collations. They’re not what they use to be thanks to our Sr. Steward, Bro. Mark Rossi. He is a phenomenal cook! Dinner starts at 6:30 and I invite everyone. Please drop me an email so he will have a head count. There are always left-overs so don’t by shy if you can’t get in touch with me in time.

From The South
Brethren,

Greetings Brethren, It is my pleasure to inform you that brother Rossi is preparing an especially wonderful collation for the month of March. We will be having chicken cordon blu, as well as homemade rice pilaf, salad, and a type of quiche known as Easter Pie. All are welcome and encouraged to enjoy the continued efforts of Brother Rossi's labors. Bring your appetite.

Fraternally,
Bro. John Herrmann,
Junior Warden
