Message from the District Deputy Grand Master
Of Eastern District
Brethren: I am extremely honoured and privileged to serve as the Grand Master’s representative for Eastern District for the ensuing year. I am particularly grateful to the members of Cornwall-Corinthian Lodge for submitting my name, and to the brethren of the District for supporting their nomination. I have thoroughly enjoyed the support and guidance from all brethren within the District which has better prepared me for the responsibilities and duties of my office. My theme for the year will be: “Building through Participation”. Our fraternity is not without challenges, especially with respect to a declining membership. I look forward to working together to ensure that Masonry remains vital and vibrant throughout our District. I plan to achieve this goal by having the Lodges work together in sharing resources and information. I would like to have maximum on-going participation in district events including the meetings of the Masonic Associ-ation of Eastern District whilst maintaining the material relating to your lodge on the District web site. Working together as a team will most certainly make this an achievable goal. Best Fraternal Regards, R.W. Bro. Len Finnamore District Deputy Grand Master 6814 Riverview Drive Cornwall Ontario, K6H 7M1 613-662-5427 [email protected]

FREDERICK EARLE EATON
MASONIC MEMORIAL BURSARY CHARITABLE TRUST
The Trust is commonly referred to as the: Frederick Earle Eaton Masonic Memorial Bursary Fund, however the full legal name is as it appears at the top of this page. The “FUND” was established to honor the late R.W. Bro. Frederick Earle Eaton and to commemorate the great contribution he made to Freemasonry in Eastern District.
R.W. Bro. FREDERICK EARLE EATON:
R.W. Bro. Eaton was the Worshipful Master of Cornwall Lodge No. 125 in 1929. He was made a Life Member in 1952, and elected D.D.G.M. of Eastern District in 1946. He was the No. 1 Charter Member and first Worshipful Master of Corinthian Lodge No. 669 in 1952. He passed to the Grand Lodge Above on June 7, 1965. R.W. Bro. Eaton was a Supreme Ritualist, serving as Installing Master for Cornwall Lodge No. 125 from 1940, Corinthian Lodge No. 669 from 1952 as well as many other Lodges in the District.
HISTORY OF THE BURSARY FUND:
1963 - The Past Masters’ Association of Eastern District passed a motion to establish a Bursary Fund with a minimum Bursary of $100 for a deserving student who was a Mason or the Son or Daughter of a Mason of the District, with preference given to a student pursuing theological studies.
1967 - Application made to have the Fund registered as a Charitable Foundation and final approval was not obtained until November 30, 1974.
Presently – The Bursary is very popular within Eastern District with over 50 applications being received each year. Each application needs to be supported and signed by a Mason in good standing within Eastern District with successful candidates receiving $250.00 to help them with the cost of their post-secondary education.
