Brethren of Acacia,

I would like to, once again, commend everyone at Acacia, as well as the brethren from other lodges for making our Raising of Bro. Reid last month a very crisp evening, and I trust a memorable one for our brother.

This month’s meeting will be no less busy as we remember the fallen with an empty chair ceremony, as well as a couple of masonic education presenters.

We will also be proving our recently minted master mason as he proves his proficiency in the third degree.

As the winter season quickly approaches, please remember that the safety of everyone in attendance is of the utmost importance, so please ensure your vehicles are winterized and ready for whatever weather the next 4 months will bring with it.

We will also be doing another third degree in January at our official DDGM Visit and I look forward to seeing the exceptional work done last month, extended to another brother being raised to the sublime degree of a master mason.

See you all at our next CGP, November 12th, as well as our regular meeting on the 19th.

Derek Brook,
Worshipful Master,
Acacia Lodge No. 561 G.R.C. in O.
