Master's Message

Brethren,
     Geometry is defined as the branch of mathematics that deals with points,
lines, planes and figures, and examines their properties, measurement, and
mutual relations in space.
     Euclidean geometry has stood upon principles that remained unchanged for
thousands of years. Through discussion, research, and diligence, science has
uncovered and developed new geometries that work in conjunction with the
basic principles of the universe. These new geometries aid scientists in
developing a deeper understanding of the universe.  These advancements of our
knowledge often lead to more questions, because the previous answers are no
longer sufficient. However, scientists cannot go back and ignore the new truths
presented to them because the endeavor proves difficult. They must carry on and
continue to find more light. These tasks may last generations before they are
resolved.
     My brothers, we must be diligent and continue to our never ending trek to
seek more light. We must continually seek to improve ourselves, our knowledge,
and the craft.
     The more we look to seek this improvement, the more we may find that we
have a long, long road to travel.  While this may seem difficult for us, we must
endeavor to search for the truth, and prove ourselves worthy to be part of this
journey.



Fraternally,                                  Attest

Master's Notes
It is our turn again to escort our veterans to chapel at the Menlo Park Veterans
home on Sunday November 1, 2009.  We will be leaving the lodge at 9:00 am or
meet at the Home at 9:30 a.m.  Please join us as we honor those who have given
so much for our freedom.
Our Masonic Year comes to a close with our final four communications during this
quarter.  Please join us for Jazz Night on Monday November 2, 2009 as our newly
raised Brother Joe Yachnik and friends come to the lodge and entertain and
enlighten us with the beautiful sounds of a Jazz Quintet in the lodge room.  
Fellowship at 5:30, Dinner at 6:30 and Program after a brief business meeting at 7:
30.  Please contact the lodge office at 908-276-9801 to make reservations.  This
program, including dinner, will be $10.00 per person.
The saddest night of the year is suspension night which will be our November 23
communication.  Suspension notices have been mailed out and it is my sad duty
to inform all the brethren that over 90 members of our lodge are delinquent in
their dues for two years.  Brothers, please, right now, take your dues card out of
your wallet and, if it doesn’t say 2009 you are delinquent.  Please pay your dues
immediately.  While there are 90 brothers up for suspension, almost 200 of you
have not paid your 2009 dues.  The lodge can not survive without these
assessments so please, pay your dues.  In addition, we will be discussing the
report prepared by RW Ron Jacobson on the state of the lodge.  Once again, this
will be important meeting where the future of the lodge will be discussed and I
encourage all within the length of their cable tow to attend.
Lodge elections will be December 7.  Please come out and congratulate the
Worshipful Master elect.  The WM elect will be qualified immediately after the
election and all PMs are welcome.
Brothers, it has been an honor to serve you as the Worshipful Master this year.
May God Bless you and yours.
