WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE

RIGHT WORSHIPFUL BROTHER

FRANK J SCHMUTZ SR

Brethren:

My how time flies when you’re having so much fun.

It seems like only yesterday we were preparing for the New Year, and here it is already.

February, the month we celebrate the birthdates of two of our great Presidents, Worshipful Bro. George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. Also there is Valentines Day, a day of happiness, joy and love.

Brethren if you missed our January meeting you missed a very fine Fellowcraft Degree done by your officers.

Please make every effort to come out to out to a February meeting and enjoy the fellowship of brotherly love of sharing an evening together with your fellow brethren.

To all our sick and distressed brethren I send my prayers and hope for a speedy recovery

Fraternally yours:

RWB Frank J Schmutz Sr. Worshipful Master
