 MASTER’S  MESSAGE  
  My Dear Brethren,
        I was indeed proud of our conferring the Fellowcraft degree to our new candidate
Wayne David Wood.  Everyone did a great job.  Our younger members have an energy and interest in their Masonic work that gives me confidence in the long term survival of our lodge.  The future of this ancient order is in their hands.  I get a sense of friendship and enthusiasm of purpose in their sprit.  They seem to get along with each other and like working as a team.  I’m proud of all of them.  The floor work of the Stewards was really nice to see.  It was precise and done with dignity.  Thank you all for your affirmative balloting on the application of our next candidate Kenneth Branden Newberry of Washington, MA.  We will Start to confer the Masonic degrees in the fall.  The secretary will notify him of the results of our balloting.  The Master Mason degree will be conferred to Wayne David Wood at our next regular communication on June 18th.  Rehearsals for this degree will be at our regular first two Wednesdays of the month, June 4th and 11th respectively.  We hope that William Christopher Lizotte will join him in receiving this very important Masonic degree.  Please study your parts.  See you all at our regular rehearsals.
Wor Stuart Sarason Kuller.
