PineCastle Lodge #368 Digital TrestleBoard
September 2009
Worshipful Master Worshipful Master David Garavano
Last month was another busy month for Pine Castle. We Passed five Brothers into the Fellow Craft degree and they are actively pursuing their studies so they can be Raised very soon. A large round of applause to Brother Art Johnson and his team. Great job Brothers!
 
My Brothers, if you haven't met some of our new members you should at least drop by the lodge on Tuesdays or Thursdays to meet them. There appears to be more energy in the lodge then there has been for many years. 
 
On September second we will receive our District Deputy Grand Master into Pine Castle Lodge for our Official Visit. It is very important that we show our support to not only our lodge but to the DDGM. Supper will be served prior to the meeting at 6:30PM so come on down have a great meal and enjoy the company of your Brothers.  Officers remember you need to wear a white dinner jacket and tux pants for this meeting.

My brothers if you know any of our members that have been suspended for non payment of dues and would like to be reinstated please have them contact me. The Grand Master has established an amnesty period for those Brothers but we must know who they are.   To those Brothers that have not paid their 2009 dues please don't become one of the aforementioned Brothers.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer off. It has been a hot one. 
To the Master Masons of our Lodge I would encourage you and your spouse to consider becoming a member of the Eastern Star. It is something the two of you can enjoy together. 
 
Our order needs the support of the lodge and we greatly enjoy our relationship with Pine Castle Lodge and are proud of the fact that Masonry is starting to grow but, in order for us to be able to assist the lodge, we need to grow with you.  The Eastern Star runs parallel with Masonry and exists for the purpose of helping support the widows and orphans of our Masonic Brothers.
 
The cost is small, the returns are priceless.
Ric Murdock, Worthy Matron 
Rainbow Assembly #6
Rainbow Assembly #6 
Our meeting for September will be on the 6th of the month at 3PM.
It would be greatly appreciated if some of the brothers could come out and join us.  Pine Castle is very proud of our Rainbow Assembly and the more we participate the better they enjoy doing their work.
 
Mom Norma would like to remind everyone that we are collecting items for our military. The complete list of needs is on our bulletin board and on our website HERE. Please collect items over the summer and bring to the Lodge in October.
