Masters Message November 2019
Greetings My Brothers
We started our October communication with a busy meeting conferring the EA degree on three candidates. I am so honored that two of the candidates were the Master Councilor’s for Gaspee chapter, and a Past State Master Coun-cilors. The support and the great showing of brothers was outstanding in sending the mes-sage to these new candidates of the importance of DeMolay to our fraternity.
The degree went very well, and I would like to give my thanks to the officers for an outstand-ing degree work, and brethren who attended, participated and helped with the degree. I was more pleased that we had visitors came as far as Connecticut to support our DeMolay candidates.
Additionally, we had a District Deputy Grand Master Brother Doug Grant’s visitation to the Metro District at the Rising Sun Lodge. I am thankful for all the brothers attended.
The speaker for November’s meeting is David S. Brody.He is a bestselling fiction writer named Boston’s Best Local Author by the Boston Phoenix newspaper.

With the Thanksgiving holiday getting closer, it is the perfect time to remember those in need and be thankful for what we have. I hope that each of us, will continue to share those gifts with those in need.
