Thursday March 26
District Lodge of Instruction
On Thursday evening, March 26, 2009 at Paulsboro Swedesboro Lodge # 157 instead of our normal District Lodge of Instruction,
there will be a Table Lodge. I am hoping for a good turnout from the brethren of our district. Attendance will be taken as if it were a
regular DLI but the evening will be strictly for the enjoyment of the brethren and to encourage the lodges to have them once again. I
know most of your trestle boards have gone out for March so please spread the word. I will need a head count by March 20th so that I
can have an idea how much food we will need as well as how many tables I will need to set up. You will hear more about this event at
our DLI on Thursday, February 26, 2009 at Williamstown Lodge.

WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE

WB RYAN C. MORRIS

 

Dear Brother,

We are moving forward quite nicely through our Masonic year. We have new petitions coming in every meeting, which is great for the building of our lodge. I would like to thank RW Bro. Pat Dayton for all of his time and effort the he has put into leading and organizing the mentoring classes. The mentoring classes are provided for those who want to learn the Masonic ritual. We have been meeting twice a month and they are working out great. As exemplified, by the great EA degree that Brother Paul Santangini performed for the first time. I do believe that if we can continue with this mentoring program and get even more brothers to attend it will only make our lodge stronger. In addition, it will relieve the amount of work that RW Bro. Pat Dayton and RW Bro. Dave
Downing are asked to perform. So look for the upcoming meeting dates remember that this program is open to all brothers, officers, Past Masters, and anyone that that wishes to receive all of the light in masonry that they can.

I would also like to welcome RW Frank D. Jones DDGM & RW John Stephenson DRI to Williamstown Lodge #166 for their official visit on March 17th. For the Brothers with Masonic Birthdays in January, and February I do most sincerely apologize for the oversight in forgetting to honor birthdays in those first two months of the year.

We have all of the tickets printed up for the Beef &Beer / Chinese Auction and Wheelbarrow of Cheer raffle to be held May 2nd at the VFW Post 1616 on the Black Horse Pike in Williamstown. This is our largest fundraiser for the year so let us make it a great success. Anyone who is need of tickets please contact me, Ryan Morris, at 856-404-3350. We are collecting bottles for the Wheelbarrow of Cheer and items for the Chinese auction, which can be brought to any meeting from now until May 1st . Or if you are unable to get out and would like to assist with a donation call me and I will come pick up any and all items from you.


Fraternally Yours,

Ryan Morris
Worshipful Master
