FROM THE SECRETARY
The July fourth holiday should have a special meaning for all of us after the events of 9-11 and the war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq. They remind us that there is a price to pay for the freedoms we enjoy. In June we celebrated Saint Johns Day, Flag Day and Fathers Day but none more important than the Fourth of July. Please keep in your mind and in your prayers the many men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad as we celebrate the Fourth of July.

Lodge Members May Be Lost:
As of December 4th, 2008 Prince George Lodge
could possibly loose some of its members. Grand Lodge Law requires that any
member in arrears for 2007 and 2008 will be suspended for non-payment of dues.
In compliance with An Edict issued by Grand Master Edmund Cohen, next
month, July, I will send to the Grand Lodge the names of our Brothers who are
delinquent. We all know things can happen that make us unable to pay every
bill. If you are unable to pay your dues because of real hardship, please
contact the Worshipful Master or the Secretary. Every one of us took an oath to
help a Brother in need, but we can’t help anyone if we don’t know about it. Remember,
Masonry is all about Brothers helping Brothers.
Due to a relocation to
Texas our Treasurer, Worshipful Searl Stover, Jr. has resigned that position.
Thank you Brother Searl for your years as treasurer and for a job well done. At
our July 2008 stated communication a new treasurer will be elected and
installed. Please attend this important meeting.
I
wish you a very happy 4th and ask that whatever you may be doing for the
holidays, please stay safe, and take the time to remember what this day is all
about, Many people fought and died to make Freedom a Reality. We must never
forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be
eternally grateful. When you read this newsletter, please take a moment and say
a prayer for our men and women in uniform.
“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the
Pursuit of Happiness”
