Brethren,
The year is quickly winding down, but we are no less busy. Likely, more so now. This month we will be receiving the Travelling Gavel, proving a Worthy Brother and hearing some masonic education from R.W. Bro. Hatsis and the Grand Chaplain R.W. Bro. David Spencer.
We will also be delivering the travelling gavel on March 27 to Carleton Lodge in Carp. I look forward to having as many members of the lodge as we can for this very important ceremony. I will have reminders sent out during the course of March.
Next month we will be holding elections for the upcoming Masonic Year followed by our Step-Up night. May will culminate the year with the installation and investiture of Officers in May / June.
As I stated at the commencement of this Masonic Year, travelling is very important to the long-term viability of the Craft and I would appreciate as many of you as are able to accompany me over the next few months to please do so, if your cable tows allow.
S&F,
Derek Brook
Worshipful Master
Acacia Lodge No. 561 G.R.C. in O.
