Greetings Brethren,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying spring — my favorite season. With the trees beginning to bud and flowers soon to follow, it’s a sure sign that warmer weather is on the way.
Last month we conferred the Second Degree on Bro. Nicholas Onofrio Buccellato. The officers did a fantastic job with their ritual work. Special thanks to Wor. Steven Dukas of William Parkman Lodge, who stepped in at the last minute as Senior Deacon and performed especially well in the Middle Chamber lecture.
As promised, we have a date for the Table Lodge / Festive Board: May 20, 2026, at Friendship Lodge. The exact start time has not been finalized (likely 7:00 PM); I will include the confirmed time in next month’s communication.
We are also working on updating our bylaws. One issue that arose is the timing of our annual meeting, which is currently specified in the bylaws as taking place during the September meeting but frequently gets delayed until October. I am considering changing the bylaws to specify October instead. I welcome your thoughts — please email me at brownie1257@msn.com or text me at 781‑606‑4436.
Sincerely and fraternally,
John S. Brownell Jr.
Master
