TIDINGS FROM THE EAST,
Brethren,
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas season. This
time of year always seems to bring out the best in people, and good friends and
family gather to share good times.
This time of year also brings with it a very special event in our Lodge: Installation of Officers. This
year’s Installation went very well I thought, and Plymouth Rock has a new crop of officers who are
ready to give their best efforts to see our Lodge grow and improve. I would estimate about 50 or
so people attended and were treated to some excellent vittles and great fellowship.
I am very pleased and proud to say that the event was attended by three generations of Slessor
Masons. My Father, Doug, who is in the process of transferring his membership to Plymouth
Rock from his former Lodge in Ft. Myers Beach, FL, my son Stephen who is already a member,
and myself. This year we also had a Grand Piper in attendance to add to the moment.
Thanks go to Dave Machin of Moslem Shrine’s Highlanders Unit for his musical gift. Special
thanks are in order for my wife Kim, Al Booth, Sr., Dick and Lisa L’Heureux, and Joe and Cara
Polak. Without their hard work and support, this event could not have happened. I am also
grateful to all those who acted as Grand Lodge Officers. Their graciousness in filling these
important roles is much appreciated.
To those I may have forgotten to mention, I am sorry, as everyone’s efforts made this a very
special night for me and my family.
The officers of Plymouth Rock # 47 are meeting prior to our January Business Meeting to
develop an agenda for the coming year. Topics sure to be addressed are MI-Chips Program,
further developing our new Masonic Center to enhance rental revenue and charitable
contributions.
If you have any ideas for the Lodge you would like to share with me please come to a meeting or
contact me personally. My sincere goal is to make Plymouth Rock Lodge #47 a better Lodge. This
will indeed be a challenge as my predecessors have created a very tough act to follow.
I wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2008. I hope to see you in Lodge soon!
