“As the sun rises in the East…”
Greetings Brothers,
Welcome back to the quarry! It is time to pick up our working tools and finish the year strong. Our lodge has completed its small metamorphosis and waits to be visited by all.
We will be having a Fellow Craft Degree on Tuesday, September 8th. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. and the Lodge will open for the degree at 7:30 p.m. Note that this will be on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, which is not a Stated Communication night. We look forward to providing our Fellow Craft with a solid performance by the Widow Sons!
We also have an Enter Apprentice Degree on Saturday, September 26th. Come and enjoy lunch at 11:30 a.m., the Lodge opens for the degree at 1p.m. Come and show your support for our new, incoming Brothers!
I am also excited to report that our Lodge will be hosting the Northeast Florida Masonic Association meeting on Wednesday, September 23rd. Dinner will be served at 6:30, with the meeting following at 7:30 p.m. I hope to see you all there!
On a somber note, on September 11th let us pause, remember, and say a prayer for those that were lost on that day and whom we have lost since. It was a very tough period in our nation’s history, similar to today’s times. Let us remember how it felt and what it looked like when we as a nation stood together for the greater good. Our light as a nation will shine again, my Brothers.
Sincerely and fraternally,
W⸫ Darrell M. Cleveland
Worshipful Master
Duval Lodge No. 159 F. & A. M.
