Brothers,
I hope this message finds you and your families in good health and good spirits. As we move through another month together, I want to sincerely thank each of you for your continued support, involvement, and commitment to the Lodge. Whether you’ve joined us for a meeting, helped out with a project, or simply carried the Lodge in your heart, your contributions do not go unnoticed.
As a friendly reminder, if you have not yet submitted your membership dues for the year, now is the time to do so. Dues help us keep the Lodge running smoothly and allow us to continue the important work we do together. To those who have already taken care of this, thank you! Your promptness and support are greatly appreciated.
Let’s continue to move forward together, guided by brotherly love, relief, and truth. If you have any questions, updates, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always here to help.
Yours in Brotherhood,
Danny Cordeiro
Secretary
As another year passes since you were raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. May your dedication and commitment to the craft lead you to a fulfilling and enlightened journey ahead.
