He delivered greetings from the Grand Master and encouraged us to help each other and other lodges as needed.

4 From The East, Hello Brethren, I hope everyone is enjoying this nice fall weather. As I said in September, activity at the Lodge is increasing. First, we had a very active and enjoyable Stated Meeting. We had an official visit from the Grand Lodge of Arizona, Worshipful Brother, Boyd Robertson, Grand Senior Deacon. He delivered greetings from the Grand Master and encouraged us to help each other and other lodges as needed. Also in attendance was Brother BJ Walzak who is a member of Fort Williams Lodge number 43 which is located Fort Williams, Scotland. He was very impressing as he was dressed in the traditional Scottish uniform of jacket and Kilt. He presented the Lodge with a very fine plaque and a book about the history of Fort Williams Lodge, which was chartered in 1743 (see the photograph in Lodge news). Most Worshipful Brother, William Anderson Gerrard Junior, past Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona was also in attendance. Worshipful brother, Bill, brought to our attention that our Boy Scout troop, which we sponsor, was in need. They have to pay their re charter fee of about $600 which they do not have. A motion was made and seconded and we elected to donate $ from the Lodge. We also passed the hat during the meeting and collected an additional $ This should help them reach their goal. As most of you know, and many of you attended our fall Meet and Greet, the food and fellowship was wonderful, it was good to see everybody. It was estimated that there was over 100 in attendance. We also had the pleasure to introduce our newest group to the Lodge, Job s Daughters. This is a wonderful and talented group of young ladies. It will be exciting to work with them. If you have never attended a Job s Daughters meeting, you need to. These young ladies are very dedicated to the ritual, and do a very fine job in delivering it. If you would like to attend one of their meetings, check the calendar in the Trestleboard, any Master Mason in good standing can attend. A request was made of those in attendance, to donate to our youth group. This request was met with great enthusiasm. We collected $165.00, THANK YOU!! We also had a friend to friend program which was well attended, and we handed out a few petitions. Hopefully, we will have Degree work to do this winter. I do a lot of reading of different Masonic books, some new, some old. I found this passage in an old text. It was written by Benjamin Franklin; unfortunately, it doesn t give the date. It goes like this. Freemasonry has tenets peculiar to itself. They serve as testimonials of character and qualifications, which are only conferred after due course of instruction and examination. These are of no small value; they speak a universal language, and act as a passport to the attention and support of the initiated in all parts of the world. They cannot be lost as long as memory retains its power. Let the processor of them be expatriated, shipwrecked or imprisoned, let him be stripped of everything he has got in the world, still those credentials remain, and are available for use as circumstances require. The good effects they have produced are established by the most incontestable facts of history. They have stayed the uplifted hand of the destroyer; they have softened the asperities of the tyrant; they have mitigated the horrors of captivity; they have subdued the rancor malevolence; and broken down the barriers of political animosity and sectarian alienation. On the field of battle, in the solitudes of the uncultivated forest, or in the busy haunts of the crowded city, they have made men of the most hostile feelings, the most distant regions, and diversified conditions, rushed to the aid of each other and feel a special joy and satisfaction that they have been able to afford relief to a brother Master Mason. Brethren, as we move through rest of this year, I want to continue to encourage us all to help each other, because it is the right thing to do, not because we might get something for it in return. Fraternally and sincerely, Steve Wieters, Worshipful Master

5 From The West, Brethren. I try to make my article about the good we do for Freemasonry., but you make this a little tough sometimes. As Master Masons, we take upon ourselves a lot of responsibility, one of these is to take care of our widows. We, as a Lodge, have not done this in many years. This is not due to our neglect, but due to not knowing who our widows are. Our Secretary, WB Richard Flinton is working very hard to put a list together. If you, by you I mean any person that receives this Trestleboard knows of a widow of this Lodge that has not received this Trestleboard or has not been contacted by the Lodge, please let me know. As far as I am concerned, taking care of our widows is one of the most important things a Master Mason can do. I hope to start a widow s night at the Lodge or possibly taking them out to dinner and a movie or play. Please assist me in this endeavor. Sincerely and Fraternally, Craig Montgomery Senior Warden SUN CITY LODGE SHIRTS Sun City Lodge No 72 is coordinating an order for short sleeve collared polo shirts embossed with the Square and Compasses.

, From The south By The Plumb One Sunday evening a young salesman was driving through the country for a meeting with a prospective client the following morning when his car broke down.

After a brief discussion, the farmer told him that he would pull his vehicle to his home, put him up for the evening, and loan him his truck the following morning to make his appointment.

As they shared an evening meal, the young man saw several pictures of the old farmer with groups of men wearing masonic aprons.

6 , From The south By The Plumb One Sunday evening a young salesman was driving through the country for a meeting with a prospective client the following morning when his car broke down. Being Sunday evening, each call he made met with a recorded message informing him that business hours were Monday thru Friday. Just at that moment he saw a farmer headed towards him on his tractor. After a brief discussion, the farmer told him that he would pull his vehicle to his home, put him up for the evening, and loan him his truck the following morning to make his appointment. Beside himself with gratitude the young salesman marveled at the generosity of the farmer. As they shared an evening meal, the young man saw several pictures of the old farmer with groups of men wearing masonic aprons. Glancing down at his own masonic ring that he recently received for being raised, the young man smiled and went to bed happy to know that his brother had recognized his ring and taken care of him. The following day upon returning from his appointment, the young man found that the farmer had repaired his car. The young man thanked him profusely and told the farmer how grateful he was and how glad he was that he had joined the fraternity. The farmer gave him a puzzled look and the young man said, I saw the pictures of you with Masonic Brethren and I know you must have seen my Masonic ring. I understand that s why you helped me. The old farmer just shook his head and said, My Brother, I didn t help you because you re a Mason I helped you because I am a Mason. I hope to see you all in lodge.
