From the Secretary's Desk - February 2010

The beginning of a New Year is a great time to make sure that all your contact information is to date with the office. 
Please send any changes of your address, phone numbers and especially your e-mail address. 
Mail or e-mail them to my attention.

Thank you so much for paying your 2010 dues. 
We have been receiving extra money for the W.D. Myers Party and the Building Fund.  
Some of you have not had the opportunity to pay your 2010 dues, please send them in as soon as possible, we need your help to grow this Lodge. 
Unfortunately 32 brothers were suspended for non-payment of 2009 dues. 
We tried very hard to retain these Brothers.

Activity in the office is up with many petitions coming in. 
We now have Future Brothers presently working on all three degrees.

2010 could be a record year for new members and transfers.
Bring a friend to a meeting and introduce them to some of the best men in the world, Winter Park Masons.

Petitions have been received from the following men: Grantland David Klein of Winter Park; Vincent John Venero Jr. of Altamonte Springs; and Jamie Cebollero of Oviedo.

From the Secretary's Desk - January 2010

Greetings and Happy 2010 New Year. 
Thank you for your confidence in me electing me your new Secretary. 
I follow a great Person, Father, Husband, Role Model, a Man of God, and an outstanding Mason, John Bukoski. 
John, Lois, and Glen Avery have graciously been assisting me as I learn all of  my new duties. 
I greatly appreciate their help and look forward to working with them. 

A new year brings different roles for all the officers (except our Treasurer Right Worshipful Chet King). 
My main goal is to continue the tradition of a solid business platform for the Winter Park Lodge. 
This will help our officers and members to better perform their duties, and ensure many more years for the Winter Park Masonic Lodge.

I am currently working with our Treasurer, Chet King to automate our finances. Brother Hector DeJesus provided us with a friend who donated much needed computer consultant service in updating our new computer, for free.  The automation process will take several months to complete.

Please pay your dues, we need your financial contribution to help continue our service to the community.
As Librarian I am asking that you might donate Masonic Books to our Lodge.  I am also looking for Winter Park History to put in our Library.

Hobie Fisher, Secretary

At our meeting on December 1st we will review those who have not paid their 2009 dues and determine if they should be suspended on December 27th or put on the Emeritus list.
This will be a vote of the craft. My office has sent out notices on June 1st, 1 July 1st and in about all the T/B’s since then.
If you cannot pay the dues prior to 27 December 27th and want to avoid suspension, notify the Worshipful Master or myself and we will review your request.

Due to changes in the elementary school system, we will not host the large holiday party this year because of economical problems for the parents and the school. We will however treat the 3 and 4 year olds’ to a gift and food treat at the school.

This is my last message as your Secretary as I am stepping down after about 14 years for personal and health reasons. We are in luck, however, as Brother Hobie Fisher, is stepping into the office if elected on 1 December. He is very capable, good administrative background and handling finances, etc. I will continue to support him in this matter as long as he desires my assistance. Lois and I thank you all for your  friendship and kindness over the years. God Bless all of you.

Worshipful John E. Bukoski, Secretary
