Brethren take notice

December Trestleboard 2025

Ladies of PA District 14

 Veteran's Service Dog Program

  

 

Brethren

As this will be my last message as Worshipful Master, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the members who helped make this year a great one.  It was definitely a busy year with the raffle and I know in the end it will be a success.

 We still have some work to do, there are a couple of events coming up that will require a little effort from the lodge.  So, if you are called upon please make an effort to be available.

 At our Stated Meeting on Tuesday Dec. 2nd,  we will be swearing in our Elected Officers for 2026.  I have no doubt Brother Joshua Yorks is going to make a great leader as Worshipful Master.  And congratulations to the incoming SW, JW, and his appointed officers.

 On a final note, I want to wish the Brethren and their families a Happy and Safe Holiday season.

 Fraternally Yours,

James Armstrong

Worshipful Master

Being neither a Christian nor a Jew, a Muslim nor a Hindu, being  a Democrat nor a Republican.  Being black, white, Hispanic, Asian, nor Indian.  Being rich nor poor, has anything to do with me amongst my brethren behind this door.  Only my trust in God, the faith in my brothers, and the charity given to mankind because of my actions matter in this place.

I AM A FREEMASON
