Brothers, this Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015, we will be holding an emergent communication to confer the Entered Apprentice Degree. Please come out to support our new brother. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:30PM
Location: 692 E Bay Ave, Barnegat, New Jersey 08005
Hello Brethren, due to the pending weather the degree scheduled for tomorrow night is cancelled. We will still be having rehearsal tonight.
On Feb 9, at our meeting we will be having a guest speaker. RW Vincenzo Salce Grand Chaplain for the Grand Lodge of NY as well as the Junior Warden of Garibaldi 584 will be coming to discuss the history and tradition of their EA degree. For those Brothers not familiar, Garibaldi Lodge performs an EA degree that is very different from ours. Thousands of Brothers travel from around the country to see this degree performed. It is extremely impressive.
RW Salce is also a Brother in:
Ancient 1 of the York Rite
Morton 1 Comadarty
Honorary Brother of the Grand Orient of Italy
Hope to see you at the meeting.
– Bro. David Rosen
Brethren,
First of all, let me thank you for putting your trust in me to guide the Lodge through another year. I could not have asked for a better supporting officers line to support both myself and the Lodge. Next, I would like to thank WB Robert Caffyn for tending to his duties in the great fashion that he did. Although the Lodge was left in great shape, there is much work that needs to be completed. The Lodge started its official toy drive this year, and it went fantastically, raising money and buying almost 120 toys and clothes for needy children. Wonderful job by all! I thank you for all of your support. I think some people, including myself, live in a bubble. They do not think of all those in need during the Holidays. I can tell you all that after helping with the toy drive, I understand what being truly needy means. Children asking for basic things such as shoes, dress shirts, and food. Brethren, I ask that if you know of someone who is struggling, please help if you can or lead them in the right direction. Remember that it is always better to give than receive. Finally, brethren, I wish the best for you and your families in the New Year.
Fraternally Yours,
Jeffrey Rawley, Worshipful Master
Happy New Year from the brothers and officers of Mariners Lodge.
Remember to be safe, drink responsibly and have a designated driver. Have a happy and healthy 2015!
The brothers of Mariners Lodge cordially invite you to join us as we install our next line of officers. We will begin promptly at 1PM on Sunday, December 14th, 2014 at Mariners Masonic Lodge #150, 692 E Bay Ave, Barnegat, New Jersey 08005
This is an open installation and all brothers are encouraged to include family and friends.
