Brethren,
Greetings from the East,

Wild Geese

Wild geese always fly in a V formation and travel as a community.   As each goose flaps its wings, it creates’uplift’ for the birds that follow. When a goose falls out of formation, it feels the drag and resistance of flying alone and promptly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it. Geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
   When a goose gets sick, is wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it, until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.
    A lot can be learned from these silly birds, do you think? Each Brother is an important part of the body of our lodge. We all need help sometime, and we all need to be aware of those around us who may need help, a simple thing such as a ride to lodge, can be all meaningful.

Fraternally,
Worshipful Master
Randy Eaton

 SECRETARIES MESSAGE

 

First, I would like to thank all the Brethren who have updated their mailing address and e-mail addresses. It really helps when we have all the right information. Second, I would ask every Brother to check his wallet to see what year dues card he is currently carrying. If it is still 2010, then you owe for 2011. If it is older, then it is more than one year. The Lodge currently has greater than 30 members who have not paid dues, some for more than one year. Check your wallet and do the right thing. I don’t want to send reminders!

 

Fraternally,

Michael Penney
