From The West
Our Snow Birds have gone and we are getting use to a bit more
room on our roads, and hopefully a hurricane-free summer,
Fingers Crossed.
I have been busy since my last entry on the Trestle Board. First
of all, Thank You to all who supported my Brother and I in a
local Charity 25 mile bike ride.
With the help from the brethren and the patrons of the English
Pub we raised just over $2000.00 for C.A.N. (The Cancer Alliance
of Naples). The following weekend I was off to the Bahamas for a
short weekend cruise with my wife, Teresa.
We were underway on Friday Night and arrived in Nassau on
Saturday morning. When the Ship is in Dock the most outstanding
sight on the skyline is a very large square and compass of the
Local Lodge, I made my way there but alas there was no one at
home, (next time I will try and get an Appointment).
Next
up will be my first trip to Grand Lodge in May. I have not had
the chance to go previously but I am looking forward to it
immensely. I hope you will join us but for those who don’t,
I will of course fill you in upon our return.
Finally, a lot of the work that happens at our Lodge is done by
just a few of the brothers. You know who you are. If anyone
would like to volunteer some of your time please come and speak
to me and I will steer you in the right direction. Of course, an
ongoing thanks to our Brother Junior Warden, Deacons and
Stewards. Your hard work doesn’t
go unnoticed!
Also, special thanks to
R:.W
Jim Kershaw,
WTom Stuart,

Bill Meurer, Brothers Miguel Prado, Khris Klock
and
James Calamari
for their assistance with the sale and breakfast.
Our Worshipful Master’s
absence offered my first visit of the year to the East at the
end of April and promises more opportunities for me this summer.
Please be respectful of his situation and keep his family in
your thoughts and prayers.
See you in Lodge BrothersJ
