Brothers of Acacia,

Well look at that it is the end of another Masonic year. I am excited for the future of Acacia lodge and for the Officers that have chosen to move forward.

As this is my last message of my year in the chair of King Solomon. I thank all the support and friendship from Acacia for helping make this year go by fast and with ease. We now embark on a very big discussion in the next couple meetings about Acacia venue let us remember that as Freemasons we support each other and help each other in this decision. Let us all remember what is a Freemason. Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.

Hope to see you all at CGP on May 1st and at our Regular Meeting on May 16th. CGP meeting start at 7:30 pm and the Regular meeting start at 7 pm for our installation.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Frank Sigouin

Brothers of Acacia,

As I missed the March Regular and Emergent meetings, I would like to thank W. Bro. Don Learning for assuming the Master’s Chair and Initiating two new Brothers. Welcome Bro. Iain Reid and Bro. Jan to Acacia. Thanks also to the Brothers from Edinburgh for their support at both meetings.

Next meeting is our annual election of Lodge Officers for the 2023-24 Masonic Year. We will also conduct a memorial for Bro. Rev. Canon Ebert Hobbs who passed away on March 20, 2023.

Hope to see you all at CGP on April 3rd and at our Regular Meeting on April 18th. Both meetings will be held at 7:30 pm.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Brothers of Acacia,

Well it is already March and we only have a few months left in this Masonic Year. We extend a warm welcome our new Brother, Mathew Van Seters. Great job everyone on Mathew’s First Degree.

As we head into this month, we have two more candidates to Initiate. We will have some visitors helping this month as we have a few members out of town, or unavailable.

We are bringing the Traveling Gavel to Russell on Monday March 20th. Let’s have a good turn out as this is the DDGM’s home lodge.

Hope to see you all at CGP March 6th at 7:30 pm and at our Regular Meeting on March 21st at 7:30 pm.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Brothers of Acacia,

With a good turn out at our Official visit last month, I like to say Great Work everyone. Thank you to those who reached out to our seldom seen Brothers and reported back on their situation during our yearly Roll Call. A big thank you also to the Brothers who came early to clean and set up the Lodge.

This month we are receiving the Traveling Gavel and we are initiating a candidate to our family at Acacia. The DDGM may be in attendance.

Hope to see you all at CGP 6th February at 7:30 pm and at our Regular Meeting on February 21st at 7:30 pm.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Brothers of Acacia:

I hope everyone is well rested and healthy. As we finish 2022, I was very pleased with the great turn out we had at our Christmas Potluck Festive Board. Thanks to our Senior Warden, Bro. Derek Brook, for all his hard work in organizing the potluck and for those helping out. Brothers of Acacia, I appreciated your participation at our December meeting and for helping to bring back our traditional potluck after it was cancelled for two years due to the Pandemic.

As we enter the New Year, with half our Masonic year still left, we have our DDGM night, the traveling Gavel and some upcoming First Degrees in the next few months. It’s going to be a busy time for Acacia. Please make every effort to attend our January meeting when the DDGM makes his Official Visit to Acacia.

Hope to see you all at CGP on January 9, 2023 at 7:30pm and at our Regular Meeting on January 17th at 7:00 pm.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Frank Sigouin

Brothers of Acacia:

It is that time of year where we celebrate good festivities with loved ones. As our last meeting of 2022, we are having our traditional potluck dinner. After three years it’s time to reacquaint ourselves with family and friends.

This meeting will be short one. We will have a memorial to W. Bro. Donald Williams, Past Master of Acacia Lodge 1995-1996.

Hope to see you all at CGP on December 5th and at our Regular Meeting on December 20th 2022 at 7:30pm.

Merry Christmas and to all a Happy New Year.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Brothers of Acacia,

First, I would like to congratulate our newest Master Mason, Bro. David Perkins. Special thanks are extended to the Shriners Degree team who did an exemplary job of Raising Bro. Perkins to the Third Degree. We were also pleased to welcome our District Deputy Grand Master R.W. Bro. Jim Bowman who attended this Regular Meeting on October 18, 2022.

Bro. Chris Zuger, was ably invested as our Inner Guard by W. Bro. Don Learning. October has come and gone. November is the time to remember our past and present veterans. We will be conducting our Empty Chair Ceremony at our Regular Meeting on November 15, 2022. We will also be voting on a Candidate for Initiation, Mr. Mathew Vansetters.

As most of you are aware, W. Bro. Sam Roberts has indicated he will be putting his name forward as a candidate for DDGM for Masonic Year 2024-25. I fully support this announc ement and woul d we l come comments from any of the members of Acacia Lodge with respect to W. Bro. Roberts intentions.

In closing I hope you had a happy Halloween and enjoyed the spooky costumes that visited your door.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
