Masters Message December 2022

Hello My Brothers,

We are in our final month of 2022 and it’s shaping up to be a busy one. Please keep your attention on the calendar of events.

We had a nice, relaxing, and informative evening at our last communication. Special thanks to Brother R:.W:. Richard F. Lynch for a presentation on his journey through Iceland. Very educational with a wonderful presentation. Right Worshipful you never disappoint, thank you!

Our next stated communication will be Wednesday, December 21 at 6 PM. Please come out and join us as this will be our last communication of 2022. Our presentation this month is going to be an amazing heart-warming one! I am pleased to announce that we will be having Vintage Pet Rescue based out of Foster Rhode Island. This amazing organization focuses on our Senior 4-legged friends. They provide top-notch care and love for these animals while they live out their Golden years. Think of this as the “best of the best” nursing home for them. We will welcome Kristen Peralta and her team of volunteers. There will be a presentation explaining everything they provide at this wonderful shelter. And, it gets even better! Kristen and her team will be accompanied by some of their senior residents for us to meet, It will be sure to melt your heart! Invite your family and friends as this program will be semi-public. I encourage everyone to visit their website and their Facebook page: www.Vintagepetrescue.org

Prior to our communication on the 21st, I would like to point out two important dates. The first one being Friday, December 9th. This will be our Holiday party at Alpine country club. This is going to be a beautiful night of family, fun, and great food. I would also like to mention that our many raffle prizes for that evening will be absolutely spectacular! The majority of the proceeds from this raffle will benefit Vintage Pet Rescue, with a smaller proceed being allocated to other animal welfare organizations.

Secondly, Saturday, December 17 at 8 AM we will have our holiday food basket drive. Please come out and join us for a great morning of doing great deeds. Daylight lodge will be serving up their delicious breakfast as they do every year following the assembly of baskets. Thank you to everyone in advance for always making this a huge success!

Also, PLEASE Keep an eye on all animals in need or distress, especially during these upcoming cold winter months. I personally thank you, and they do as well.

On behalf of the Wardens and Officers, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a very joyous, prosperous, and healthy New Year. Salute!

Grazie Fratelli Miei ... ... ...
