This month’s program will be a presentation from WB R. Andrew Benn on the second half of his presentation on the Roman Empire.
Greetings Brethren,
Hopefully, you all have been enjoying the dry-er weather! I’d like to once again thank all of those who have been practicing for the MM Degree and coming to rehearsals. Just a reminder that we will be conferring the Master Mason Degree on our Candidate this upcoming Saturday at 10 am. Anyone involved in the degree I ask that you get there at 0930. With that being said we also have our FINAL full rehearsal this Wednesday at 6 pm. I will be there at 5 to run lines if anyone needs it.
Also, there are a few key dates to keep in mind for May. Grand Lodge Annual, East Bay Past Masters Association as well as our own stated communication. Those dates are listed below. For our program this month, WB Benn will be presenting The Roman Empire Part 2 with a lot more time than he was allotted for Part 1!
Dinner for this month will be Chicken Parmesan over pasta costs $13. Please please please get your reservations in for dinner. We do not order extras.
We hope to have an update from the bylaw committee to see where we are at. We will also be designing, printing, and selling the calendar raffles during the entire month of May. Calendars will be $20 a piece and participants can win multiple times throughout the month.
I look forward to seeing everyone.
Don't forget to get your tickets to the Annual Banquet which will be held on Monday, May 20th at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. Tickets are available at Grand Lodge for purchase. Please reach out to Brother Secretary for any additional information.
Yours in the craft,
Manuel J. Benevides
