Notice of Regular Communication of St. Alban’s Lodge No. 6 Wednesday, October 14th · 7:00 PM
Master’s Message
Greetings, St. Alban’s Brothers,
Usually I have quite a bit to say for my Master’s Message each month. I’m honestly drawing a blank slate ahead of our October stated communication.
The first 6 months after our annual were jam-packed with activities, visitations, and a potential merger with another local lodge. After our usual summer pause, it’s been back to work. But because we don’t have any active candidates, it seems a little slow. We have been preparing for our Fellowcraft degree taking place in October. I’m hoping for an easy degree night. There has been a rumor of potential new candidates on the horizon; only time will tell.
Brother Roger Belmore successfully put together a fabulous calendar raffle, and has been drawing lucky recipients daily to begin the month. We hope Brother Tim Pray will be putting on a Scotch tasting sometime in the early winter, tho he is still gathering the information. Also in October, a gathering of lodges named for St Alban will be taking place in CT this year, on the weekend of October 23,24 & 25. See a member for more details if interested in attending to see what all the fuss is about. Our Bristol lodge has hosted the weekend event twice in the last ten years, just for factual comparison. Far out on the horizon will be our annual holiday gathering. After a vote of members present at the last meeting, we decided on Sunday, December 6 th, in the early to mid-afternoon. A Yankee swap will be taking place too. I think that’s all the news fit to be printed!
Yours in the craft,
Andrew Daigle, WM
