Brethren,
We are at that time of year again where we say goodbye to another year and openly welcome what will be a very good year ahead if all goes as we plan.
This month we will be having a very short meeting followed by our annual potluck, that honestly, without our better halves, would really be a bit lacking.
So, this month will be a short meeting, but then in January we hit the ground running with a Raising in January, followed by the travelling gavel, elections and installations.
While we get busy at this time of year with everything that happens around the Holiday times for everyone, let us remember that those nearest and dearest to us may like to hear from you if you don’t stay in regular contact. Loneliness at this time of year is a major health concern and a phone call or visit can go a long way.
I look forward to seeing you all in the next couple of weeks for our CGP and regular meetings. Remember in your hearts, those that we have lost this year both inside and outside of the lodge.
Derek Brook,
Worshipful Master,
Acacia Lodge No. 561 G.R.C. in O.
