Miminos 53 John Coules 55 George J. Sarmaniote 59 Stephen Kaloyanides From The East B rethren, Last month we initiated three new Entered Apprentices. All of our officers did a fantastic job with the ritual and gave our youngest new members an experience to remember. We had a great crowd for a night at the end of a long holiday weekend, and I hope that everyone there was as impressed by the work of the evening as I know the candidates were. I know that sometimes ritual can be tedious for those of us who have seen it many, many times, but let’s not forget the work that goes into it and that it’s always someone’s first time seeing it. If you come out to support the candidates I guarantee you’ll get something new out of it yourself. This month we’re trying something a little different. After our meeting we’ll be having a Festive Board! A festive board is very similar to a table lodge in form and function. There are seven toasts, a U shaped table, and a ton of fraternity. The major difference is that a Table Lodge occurs in open Lodge as part of the official meeting, and a Festive Board happens after the meeting is closed. Since the lodge is closed during a Festive Board we have a little more freedom and flexibility with the toasts and the way the whole meeting is conducted. If you’ve never been to a Festive Board, it’s sure to be an exciting experience! Beyond our meeting this month please look to attend the following social and service events coming up soon: • February 7 – Family Bowling at Lucky Strike at 2pm. Please contact Bro. Jeremy Harold for details and to RSVP at either [email protected] or 617.501.5707 • March 21 – Cradles to Crayons Service Event at 10am. Please contact Bro. Tommy Nogueira for details and to RSVP at either [email protected] or 781.223.2744 • As always all of the upcoming events are on the calendar at themasslodge.com under the member portal, so if you haven’t registered yet, get to it! Looking forward to seeing you on February 16th! Cordially and Fraternally, Wor. Laurence J Zoll Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts MOST WORSHIPFUL HARVEY J.
