A message from the Worshipful Master

As August approaches, I wanted to take the time out to express how well Manasseh Lodge has been functioning since I took over as Master last December. In all regards, things have gone better than I could have ever expected. I want to take the opportunity to not only thank my Officers (all of whom have performed above and beyond what is required of them), but also all of our other members, visitors, and Appendant bodies who have pitched in and helped out. All of you are the reason our Lodge has been successful. 

Last July, we had a wonderful Scholarship Program in which 7 lucky students were recognized at our Lodge for their scholastic hard work. We also had a great dinner cooked for us by Destiny Court Amaranth Ways & Means, so I again would thank them for all they've done as well. Lastly, we had a very patriotic program on Freemasonry & The Founding of the American Republic provided by our District Education Officer and thrice Worshipful Master, WB Joe Martinez.

This August, not only do we have our next Stated Communication but is also the month Manasseh holds its annual International Family Day, a celebration of the various different cultures that encompasses our Lodge, filled with all kinds of food, games, music, and more! Our dinner will be provided by Amaranth Grand Court & Means. We will have a presentation from our Lodge Educational Officer, Brother Sam Marso. It will be on The Significance of the Masonic Charges.

May the Great Architect of the Universe bless you with wisdom to guide your actions, strength to support your labors, and beauty to inspire your works.

"What nobler relationship than that of friend?   What nobler compliment can man bestow than friendship?"   
 
                                                                                               - Ill. Bro. Manly P. Hall, 33°
