From the East

 A MESSAGE FROM THE EAST

W.M. Jim Villhauer

We had a very busy April with a Denver Rescue Mission serving opportunity, a Lodge visitation to Fidelity Lodge 19, Education from our DGM Dean McConnell, proficiencies, stated meetings, Crawfish boil event that was put on by Paul Revere lodge.  May is shaping up to be just as busy with our summer picnic looming right around the corner. Masonry is alive and well as we have experienced within our own lodge and the other lodges we have visited and interacted with. This proves that Masonry is a contact sport and is enjoyed best actively. 

Be sure to bring donations of non perishable food for Food for Hope that can be used for student / family use and will be collected at the lodge. Things that can be added to student lunches or items that can be used at home for families in need. Food for Hope serves the North West and Metro areas.

The Masonic Fraternity is one of the oldest men's premier fraternities  that is steeped in history. What started as "operative masons" building the majestic edifices of Europe and the mason's guilds of the middle ages has evolved into one of "speculative masonry" where we build better men through moral, ethical and social responsibility and the support of charity to others. Masons and Freemasonry has played important parts through history, are you the next piece of the puzzle in history ?
