Brethren,
This year really went by fast. As I start to type my article this
morning (past the deadline, again), I looked over at the calendar
and realized that in three days we will be electing the 2016 Officer
line. And reflecting on the last 10 months, I can say that I am happy to be a part of this Lodge. I feel like there are quite a few things
that were successes this year, and a couple that I never got done.
But without Mike White, I am not sure that I could say that. Although he wears more hats than most in our Lodge, he always had
my back. And on those nights weeks when I just couldn't get something organized, there he was making sure everything went off
seamlessly and without a hitch. I want to thank the whole officer
Deadline for Trestleboard
items is December 10th
Tim Williams PM. Editor
line, and especial Mike White for supporting me this last year.
We have more degree work this year so we should stay busy
through this month. Come out and see what we have going on.
See me on a Thursday night

Time is going by faster than you think. If there is something you want to do don't wait.
Life is far shorter than some my think . There is much for all to get done in this life .We
can always use help with the work in Lodge. You do not have to be a Lodge officer to
do the work all are welcome. Just coming to the meetings is great, more the better.
We are going to be electing new Officers for 2016. This is your Lodge and you need to elect
them. If you do not show up then no vote, no mail in hear. This is one of the most important
things we do. The Line Officers are what guides the Lodge. Your support is need to help guide.
So if at all possible come and elect your new Line and Master for 2016. With out are members
we are just another old building. I feel we are so much more than just a building .Hope to see
all at the next meeting .
Yours In Faith
Dale Kreger J.W
Toleration
One of the most exacting requirements of Freemasonry is toleration in religion and politics. The only
religious requirements belief in and reliance upon
God, and obedience to the code of morality and righteousness. Neither religious dogmas nor political
opinions are permitted to be broached in Lodge.
Men of different nationalities, races, religious affiliations, and political opinions are united in a common
brotherhood.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BROTHER CHAPLIN
Dear Brothers
Let us talk about the desire to be a Mason or to improve our life in masonry.
We live in a world with naturally encounter a wide assortment of appealing sense of object : sights and sounds, taste, sensations, interesting
thoughs and ideas. Desire arises from contact with these pleasing objects,
and these desire can range from obsessive passion addictive craving to a
simple passing wish for something. All of these gradation of feeling are the
expressions of the wanting mind.
It is important to distinguish here between the desire of wanting associated
with greed and the desire or motivation, which can be joined with either
wholesome or unwholesome factors. In English we use the same word for
these very different mind state. Obviously there are various meanings of desire. We as a Masons should pursue the energy of motivation to accomplish
something, in this case associated with faith, wisdom, and compassion.

and its concern, to find ways in which to serve God, family, country, neighbors and
self.”
