Secretary’s Corner
Welcome to Bro.s John Cumming, and P. Eric
Hottenstein on their transfers from other
Michigan Lodges. Congratulations to Dennis Frye our
Mason of the Year for 2008.
On behalf of the Officers I would like to thank David
Lindsay for purchasing 2 Poinsettias and delivering them
to Julia Parnacott and Verna Berecky in the Alma Masonic
Home. Brother Dave has done this for the past 10 years that
I know of.
Last year (2007) we had a very busy year with 12 Business
meeting, 19 Special meetings, and 5 Memorial, along with
participating in Plymouth 4th July Parade and a Corner
Stone Laying Ceremony at out site of our old building.
Plymouth Rock raised 6 new Master Masons along with 1
restoration, 3 Transfers from others Lodges, and we are
waiting on final paperwork for 1 more transfers and will
ballot on 2 more members for restoration in January. There
is still 1 Entered Apprentice and 1 Fellow Craft to complete;
due to their work schedule they have been unable to finish
their Degrees. Our Members also spent countless hours at
the new Lodge getting it into shape for our use. We had 8
dinners for ourselves this year and cooked 8 Charity
breakfasts at the Plymouth Elks along Several members
made 12 visits to members who were in the hospital or at
home ill, and last we had 10 Officers practice and 2 Schools
of instructions.
This year will be starting a little slower than the past couple
of years. In 2008 we will have 3 members eligible for 40
years, 5 eligible for 50-year, 5 eligible for 60-year, and 1
eligible 70-year recipient.
Brothers and our Widows this is just a reminder but if you
move please let me know so I can keep your mail going to
the right address. I have 150 pieces of mail returned each
year for unable to deliver because a member has moved.
Special Thanks
On behalf of the Lodge I would like to thank the
following members for their donations since our
last Trestleboard, Clifford Smith, John Allison,
Gordon Sutton, Wilmer Norris, Matt Turnbull, Raymond
Michaels, Charles Cox, Dennis Frye, and Wilfred Robinson.
In Our Thoughts
Gordon Sutton sent me a letter and asked me to tell
everyone Hi to all and have a very Happy Holiday Season,
and if you ever go to Florida stop in he would like to see
you.
Don and Kathleen Grupa sent a Christmas Picture that said
“We miss our family at Plymouth Rock”. The Lodge also
misses them and their children Wyatt, Ella, and Thomas.
Julia Parnacott sent a card thanking the Lodge for her
Poinsettia and had it placed in the Chapel for everyone to
enjoy this Holiday season.
God Bless
