Brothers,

As my last message to you, I want to congratulate the new officers of Pine Castle Lodge and wish them all the very best in 2011.  I have seen the incoming master's schedule for next year and I can tell you that we are in for a very busy and productive year. 
 
This past year has been focused on the lodge finances and establishing some contact with the out of town / state "wayfaring brothers", as well as making opportunities for the new brothers to show us their stuff.  We have had a lot of new experiences this year, which was very important at this time in the Lodge.  Thanks to the brothers who have understood the goals and supported them....it's to you that we owe our progress this year.
 
Next year will likely be very traditional, except for one important difference.  The incoming master has a terrific grasp of not only the importance of tradition, but a good understanding of how important it will be to provide the kind of interest and involvement that will be needed to keep the new brothers coming back. 
 
There are 3 facts in masonry that we can all agree on...that the BLUE LODGE BROTHERS are the backbone to the fraternity...that our OBLIGATION is the backbone to the blue lodge and that COMPASSION is the backbone to our obligation.  When we push aside or pass over brothers who are ill, subdued, out of sight or less fortunate...we do our lodge harm.  For those of you who understand my meaning, I only ask that you try to keep some compassion in every decision that you make next year.      
 
Our lodge installation will be on Sat. the 8th at 7:00.  Come out and support our incoming master and officers!
 
I hope that all of you are having a wonderful holiday season.
Worshipful Master

Best Regards,      
Gerry Rushton, Worshipful Master

Rainbow Assembly #6
rainbow logoThe holidays are over and Pine Castle Assembly is getting back to work. 

We are growing!  On  January 2 we will have balloting and elections & on January 16, we will initiate another member for our Assembly as well as a girl for Hope Assembly.  On January 23, we will install our new officers.

We invite all Master Masons and Eastern Star to attend the initiation and installation.  We will be escorting and presenting the gavel talk at 4 Masonic installations in January including our very own Pinecastle!

Thank you for your support and we wish you all a happy, healthy and safe new year.

Sincerely,
Mom Norma

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a SAFE New Year!

The Worthy Patron and I would like to thank Sister Norma Savoley for opening her home to us for our Chapter Christmas Party.

On December 30th, the Chapter put on a New Years Eve Eve Party. Everyone had a great time, thanks to Sister Michele Guest, who planned and put it all together!

Our next meeting is January 3rd, and we will have Grands and Past Grands, with a covered dish dinner @ 6:30PM.

January 17th, we will honor Brother Burt Brim, Past Grand Patron.

Hope to see everyone at the meetings!

With Star Love,

Hi Everyone,Webmaster

I hope by now you have all been to our website. I do my best to keep it as up to date as possible but I need your help. The website should be a community effort with information provided by everyone.  If you have an event that you would like to see on the calendar or would like to have a page specifically for your event please let me know. If you see an error anywhere on the site please let me know (preferrably with the correct information) so that I can fix it.

The newest addition to the site is Hiram's List. It's a classified/want ad type of system similar to Craig's List. You can list anything on this section for sale or give away with photos and description. I am limiting listings only to Master Masons and their families. You need to register on the site to make a listing so if you have questions or need help please let me know.

My next goal is to get an online Master Mason Business Directory so those that prefer to use a brother for needed work can find them easily. Watch your email for more information.

Thanks,           
Trey Rapp
