My
Masonic Family Members,
The year
continues to be fantastic in the Lodge. We are really busy with
events and doing good work. Additionally, your Lodge keeps growing,
with more applications coming in almost every month.
As you
read this, your Lodge Officers just completed the First Degree
Initiation of Brother Andrew Macias. My thanks to the Officers, you
all did a great job and you are all get representatives of our Lodge.
As you
also read this the Annual Superbowl Party when off without a hitch.
There was lots of Fellowship, a lot of fun, and we exposed some new
young men to this Fraternity we all love. I wanted to thank all those
that attended – specially my wife Janet, Brother Schrekengast and his
wife Ruth and his guests, Brother Booth and his wife Bonnie, Brother
Gladstone, Brother De Luca and wife Kimberly and his guests, Brother
James Wong with his fiancé Janae and his guests, Brother Giuliano
Mirabella (Happy Birthday Giulio), Brother Larry Carr, Brother Ben
Carr, our Lodge Sweetheart Diane Sickles, and everyone else that
showed up, Again, it was a great game and it was great fun.
I am
proud to announce that Brother Harry (Ben) Benezette was selected by
committee to be the Hiram Award recipient from our Lodge this year.
Brother Benezette has been a Master Mason in our Lodge for almost 61
years (next month makes it 61 years), rarely misses a Stated Meeting,
and is a solid figure of what a Freemason should be. Brother
Benezette has been active in the Lodge for a very long time and it
means a lot for a Lodge to have consistent, supportive, and active
members like Brother Benezette. For me personally, it always
comforting to have our long-time Brethren like Brother Ben in the
Lodge – it shows that we must be doing something right.
Congratulations to Brother Benezette for being honored with the Hiram
Award.
Speaking
of long time members of the Lodge. We are looking for information on
two of our members. Please contact me if you have any information on
Brother John L. White and/or Brother Kenneth R. Jackson. Some how the
contact information for these two Brothers has gotten misplaced.
Finally, I am pleased to announce that
the Golden Trowel Norwalk Lodge has a new website up and running.
Please keep in mind that this is a continual work in progress. The
website is: GTNmasoniclodge.com. I encourage you to visit the site
and see our voluntary efforts in progress. My thanks to Worshipful
Larry Williams and Brother Stephen Hall for their generous efforts. I
see this as another giant positive step forward for our Lodge. Gary
