From the East - February

Hello everyone.

I want to congratulate all the new brothers for taking a step on their Masonic journey.
The first three meetings in January were successful.
RW Chet, thank you for your support not just in our lodge but this great fraternity.
Thank you Brother Jeff Morgan for all the hard work that went into the Highland Scottish Games.
Brother Jason Streit, thank you for stepping up and taking charge of the retail for the lodge.
Brothers, Jason would like to know if there are any items that you would like to see in the display case for purchase, please get with him.
I also want to thank Brother Nelson Bonet for helping me and Eastbrook Elementary School at their Safety Saturday event on Jan 16th at t the last minute.

Winter Park Lodge voted to cancel our credit card company and go with another company that will allow us to accept credit cards by swiping them in a machine.
Winter Park is slowly moving forward.
When the unit is up and running we will be able to accept payment of dues, retail, and other things by credit cards.

Brother Jason, Larry and W. Bill are teaching catechism classes for new brothers, if any brother would like to assist and teach a class, please call or email me.

Investigations are a hot topic for Winter Park, as we move forward in this year. Petitions are coming in quickly. February is the month of Valentines.
Brothers please do not forget February 14th. 

There are a few dates to remember:

February 6 is Master and Wardens at Mokanna Lodge with the installation of officers of Memorial Lodge to follow at 8am.
February 13th from 9am-3pm is open books at the Lodge.
School of Instruction is February 10th and 24th at Mokanna Lodge at 7pm.

Winter Park Lodge would like to email trestle boards to you if you would like, but we need emails so that we have that ability. We are not stopping the delivery of the hard copy. Communication is the key for success, providing your email to me would allow me to pass the information to you much quicker. My email is wmaster[at]winterparklodge[dot]org.

Brothers please keep in your prayers the families in Haiti.
Charity of the month is the American Red Cross. 

Fraternally,

Mark Avery, Worshipful Master

From the West - February 2010

Brothers,

2010 has started off with an ambitious agenda at Winter Park Lodge.
We are working hard to create opportunities to involve members.
As a member of the lodge it is your turn to participate.
We all know that money is tight these days but we need other things. We need time, talent and ideas. We need brothers' expertise.
You have many things you can contribute to the lodge.

As a first step, I ask all of you to bring a business card to the lodge and leave it in the book in the front room.
This book is a great way for all of us to get to know each other and contact a brother with the skills and knowledge that can help us all.

Chris Chag, Senior Warden

From the South - February 2010

I would like to thank all of you who have helped me make a smooth transition into the Junior Wardens Station.
If the rest of the year goes this smooth, it will be a good one!

This year I am going to try something a little different.
At open books, or any function that will open the lodge in the morning, I am going to start serving fresh breakfast sandwiches made to order. 
Additionally the showcase in the lobby is being revamped and will be open for business at these times.
So even if you don't want to crack a book, come on out represent your lodge and enjoy some good food and fellowship!

Al Stearns, Junior Warden

Committee on Lodge Property

We are making progress on returning the building to pristine condition. 
We still have a ways to go, but we are headed in the right direction, and a couple of years from now we hope to have the majority, if not all, the work and equipment replacement completed. 

We are in need of having our water heater replaced, and possibly tank-less water heaters installed in the bathrooms. 
That being said, if we have a member who is a licensed plumber and would like to help the lodge with this endeavor please contact me, as Chairman of the committee and let me know you are interested.

Fraternally,

Chester A. King, DDGM Chairman of the Committee on Lodge Property
