From the East
Charles A. Beckhardt Jr. PM. BRETHREN:
I want to congratulate Brother William Rogers for his fine job in conferring the first section of multi-candidate Entered Apprentice degree on four new Brothers. Brother William Davenport, PM, did the lecture in great style as usual. If it has been a while since you witnessed degree work in Lodge, come on out and see, meet and support your officers as they confer the three degrees to new Brothers.
We had a wonderful installation on January 19th. Your newly installed officers and other invitees will meet on January 28th to put together a plan of action for Sincerity Lodge for 2012. More information will be forthcoming in a later communication.
Your Lodge again has made contact with three High Schools to participate in the Maryland Masonic Charities Scholarship Program. As you may be aware, the Maryland Masonic Charities awards 50 $1,000.00 scholarships to deserving High School students.
On another note, as a reminder, if the snow emergency plan is in effect in Anne Arundel County, THE LODGE WILL BE CLOSED.
Congratulations to Charles L. Hendricks Jr. for achieving 50 years as a member of Sincerity Lodge # 181. This is quite a milestone in the life of our Brother.
On February 2nd, 7:30 P.M. we will catch up on our regular business.
On February 16th, 7:30 P.M. we will have an abbreviated meeting, close Lodge and discuss and conduct a Maryland Masonic Memorial Service. This will be open to family and friends.
On March 1st, 7:30 P.M. we will vote on a petition for Timothy Martin.
On March 15th, 7:30 P.M., if found worthy, we will confer the Entered Apprenticed Degree on Mr. Timothy Martin.
On March 25th, at 3:00 P.M., Your Lodge will conduct the Religious Service in the Chapel at the Maryland Masonic Home.
As I mentioned in our last communication, we will be sending you copies of our new By-Laws once we get them approved by the Grand Lodge.
For those of you who know Brother Frank Olah, PM, I have received word he is in rehab at Future Care North Point, 1046 Old North Point Road, Baltimore, Md. 21224.
His room # is 103
Also, Brother Benjamin Sheppard Jr. PM is not feeling well. His address is 1230 Newfield Road, Baltimore, Md. 21207. I’m sure our Brothers would like to hear from you.
THOUGHT FOR THE NEW YEAR:
An Old Indian Proverb stated this observation:
“You will be known by the tracks you leave.”
My challenge and hopefully yours will be to:
(1) Leave a track of Brotherly love. (2) Leave a track of Relief and (3) leave a track of Truth.hope this communication finds you in good spirits and excellent health as we begin a new year. As is my custom, I like to start with the positive.
“MAY OUR SUPREME ARCHETECT BLESS AND KEEP YOU SAFE AND HEALTHY TILL WE MEET AGAIN”
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Charles A. Beckhardt Jr, PM.
Worshipful Master
