News from the Worshipful Master
Brethren,
This is the time of the year when everyone is thinking of candy canes and sugar plums. Especial the young at heart and little ones. Beaver Valley Lodge wishes you and your family best wishes for the Holiday Season. Remember the purpose of the holiday. The birth of our Lord. Also remember those who are not as fortunate as we are. So please have a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Years.
I would like to thank the brethren of the Lodge for electing me as Worshipful Master this past year. It has been a very enjoyable year. The officers did an excellent job in their work, especially at the annual inspection. Sideliners you were very supportive in your attendance. All of you would jump in when ever you were needed. So thank you all very much for your help and support this year.
On December 1st Beaver Valley Lodge will be holding its monthly stated meeting. There will be a dinner at 6:30 P.M. with the business meeting at 7:30 P.M. At this time I am not sure what the meal will consist of. December the 3rd Beaver Valley Lodge will be holding its Annual Installation of Officers at 2:00 P.M. Brother Brian Arnold has be elect Worshipful Master fore the ensuing year. So please come and show your support to Brother Brain and his officers as you have shown me this year. Then on December 10th the 8th Masonic District will be holding a School of Instruction at Bloomingburg Lodge at 9:00 A.M. This is a good time to review the degrees with the District Deputies and correct any missed used words in the degrees and lectures. The Type Written Ritual will be there. Finally on December 15th Beaver Valley Lodge will hold a EA Practice at 7:00 P.M. There will be a pro-tem candidate at this practice so the officers can simulate an actual degree night.
On January 1, 2012 Ormus Grotto will hold its Annual Pork and Sauerkraut Dinner at Beaver Valley Masonic Temple. It will be from 1:00 P.M. till 4:00 P.M. The cost will be donations. There will be a TV there for all the Bowl Games. You know they say it is good luck to have some sauerkraut on the first of the year. Please come and support the Grotto and give yourself good luck at the same time. See you there.
So I would like to say thank you again and fair well.
Fraternally,
Stephen L. Scarpelli
