Master's Message
Our November meeting was a very enjoyable evening. My thanks to V.W. Bro Giroldi for his always interesting masonic education, and to Bro. Beasley for telling us about your trip to Texas and sharing the masonic history with us.
With the festive season approaching fast, we, as Masons, must stop and remember the reason for the season. Let us remember those less fortunate than us in your prayers and in your charities. At our December 19th Meeting it would be especially nice if we could all bring some non-perishable foods for our local Food Bank. May the joy of the season be with you all.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Fraternally yours,
A.E. Fyfe, WM

Remembrance Day Service
Brethren,
WM Albert will NOT be available on Friday, November 11th, to represent the Lodge and lay the wreath at the Remembrance Day Service. He is asking if there is a Brother who might be available to do this?

Master's Message for May, 2014...
Brethren:
I would like to again congratulate our officers and the degree team on the excellent work they did last month in putting on the MM Degree. I would also like to congratulate our newest Master Mason, Bro. Zhang on his dedication to the work and the excellent manner in which he proved up in the Fellow Craft degree.
Thank you to all of the brethren who travelled to Mizpah Lodge for their third degree. We had twelve of our members in attendance which was fantastic! Thank you to WBro Alvis for filling in for me in the east. I enjoyed the sun and warmth of Puerto Vallarta and was hoping to bring some back with me but to no avail.
I would also like to thank WBro. Fyfe for serving as JW for the past three months. We all wish him the best of health and know we can continue to count on his regular attendance and support. Thank you to WBro Dunlop and VWBro Giroldi for volunteering to assume the JW’s chair – I greatly appreciate your support and know the lodge will continue to be well looked after during times of refreshment and fellowship. Lastly I want to thank RWBro. Nick Richardson, WBro. Bob Burns and Bro. Cordell Dyck for volunteering to bring refreshments to our May meeting.
I encourage all of you to come out this month to support your officers and the Lodge in spreading the cement that unites us into one sacred Society of Friends and Brothers. We look forward to having a large turn out for fellowship amongst our Brethren.
Fraternally yours,
W. Bro. Roger Cowan
W.M.

Master's Message for April 2014...
Brethren:
April will be a very busy month. Our regular meeting will be held on Easter Monday April 21st and I would like to thank W Bro Alvis for agreeing to fill in for me as Worshipful Master as I will be away on holidays.
It is a coincidence that the celebration of Easter is about our Lord’s promise of resurrection and rebirth and we will again be putting on the M.M. degree in April at an emergent meeting on Tuesday April 8th. Also we will also be traveling to Mizpah Lodge on April 15th to witness a MM degree in the Canadian rite performed by York Rite College. We will car-pool to Medicine Hat and leave from Brooks Lodge at 6:00PM on April 15th.
I encourage each of you to reflect on the teachings and symbolism found in the MM degree and come out to welcome our newest brother as we raise him to the sublime degree of a Master Mason at our emergent meeting and also join us as we travel to Medicine Hat for a unique educational experience in the Canadian Rite.
Lodge officers and members of the degree team are reminded that we will be holding a practice on Sunday, April 6th at 1 PM in preparation for the MM degree.
Brethren did you know that a lodge is opened by the Worshipful Master in "due form" which means according to ancient usages, customs, laws and ritual of the Grand Lodge. That a Grand Lodge is opened by the Grand Master in "ample form" meaning he has the power and authority to deviate from common ritual to save time. At our last meeting the Grand Master exercised his right of “ample form” during the closing. He declared the Lodge closed with one stroke of the gavel.
Fraternally yours,
W. Bro. Roger Cowan
