Greetings Brothers,
February is a short month, as we all know, but how quickly it has gone by. We have been dealing with a pretty tough winter, but Harmony has stayed active as we always do. Bro. Jr. Deacon Mickey Torgan has been meeting with our four candidates working diligently on their lessons. Bro Jim Hopper, our Senior Steward, is working with Mickey as he prepares for his 2015 class.
Adult night for the month was a entertaining trip to The Piano Bar in Providence. Many of you enjoyed the fellowship of friends, brothers, and their ladies along with snacks, music, and many laughs. Once again, thanks to Missy Edwards for putting this evening together.
Worshipful Todd Derksen and the Fellowcraft Club were busy at a charitable night out at Crossroads R I. Our brothers cooked and served pizza to our less fortunate. We should all thank Wor. Derksen and our Fellowcraft brothers for giving time to this worthy cause.. That night gave us a chance to show others who Masons are. Todd, that was a great idea.
March starts out with the Bro. Henry Rossi 36th Annual Game Dinner on Sunday, March 2 at the Cranston Portuguese Club from 1 to 5... it is a weekend project that brings many brothers together for fun and fellowship. Call and ask James DiBiaso what you can do to help.
At our Regular Communication, March 4, the DDGM Gary Kaufman will be visiting. This is RW Kaufman's official visit and RW Dave Armstrong's last as District Grand Marshall to our lodge. Medals for fifty tears of Harmony membership will be presented to several Brothers. That evening, Sheriff Karen D will be speaking about Domestic Violence and the growing concerns of our state. Let's fill the lodge that night.
Fraternally,
Ed Diggle, Worshipful Master
