ROMEO LODGE #41, F. & A. M.
Sherman Parker, Jr., Worshipful Master

Romeo Lodge #41, F&AM

Brethren

Soon your Lodge will be hosting the annual meeting for District 12 for the election of the BGP member and the DDI for District 12. We can use some help in sharing our ritual work so we make a lasting impression on our visitors.

We will not be voting on revised Bylaws although there are grammatical errors and some procedures that need to be changed I would rather see a document that starts out with the current Bylaws followed by the proposed revision so everyone can see and understand the necessity of the changes. This request is being sent back to the committee to revise the format and present a complete document.

The Lodge will be hosting a St. Patrick’s Day Dinner (click for information) in place of our scheduled practice – please come and enjoy this event. It is open to all Lodge members and their families.

A few dedicated and rugged Brothers are actively supporting your Lodge and are making sure that the Community knows we are more than just the big old building but one with history, a vibrant fraternity and a very unique Lodge that should be seen by all who ask. We hope to enhance our presence and make the public aware of the Lodge and the many Masonic organizations that start with being a member of a local Blue Lodge.

Fraternally
Sherman C. Parker, Jr.
Worshipful Master





ROMEO CHAPTER #17, RAM

Romeo Chapter #17, RAM

Dear Companions,

On February 10, 2010, Romeo Chapter 17 had the honor of having two distinguished guests. We had the pleasure of receiving our Deputy District Instructor, Terry L Baker and the Grand Master of the 1st Veil, Richard G. Hitch. Chapter was opened in due form and business was conducted, including appointing an interim Treasurer, Past High Priest, Paul Heller.

We thank Paul for taking on this additional duty. The School of Instruction went very well and our DDI brought some new insight to the craft. Earlier in the month we meet at Youngers Irish Tavern for dinner prior to a practice. Many family members and prospective members enjoyed $1.00 Hamburger Night at the Tavern.

I certainly appreciate everyone’s effort in preparing for the School of Instruction and the upcoming Inspection. Companion Terry Baker announced in Chapter and later in private that he was very pleased with our progress.

Please come out and enjoy the companionship and fraternity of our Chapter.

Fraternally yours,
Jim Lindsay, HP

Romeo Chapter #19, OES

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

Didn’t our snow day come at the wrong time! We had to cancel our game night to keep our friends and members safe. The weather wasn’t quite as bad as was expected, but travel after dark was still not safe. We will try again in March – on the 2nd Tuesday again. So - - - get out your favorite board games and or cards and come out to join us. We will have a potluck dinner @ 6:30, honor our appointed officers and guests and then spend an hour or so playing our favorite games.

We are very happy to see that Jim Eubanks’ surgery was successful and that he is on the road to full recovery. He came out to join us for breakfast on Valentine’s Day and is in excellent spirits. He says he still gets tired easily and that he enjoys it when people give him a call or drop him a card to let him know we care.

My last report from Janine Saputo is that our area prepared and sent out over 500 boxes to service personnel serving overseas. The Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Development Authority and the MRP Association worked together on this project using the Romeo Masonic Temple as the Welcome Center and one of the two areas where the boxes were accepted and/or packed. It was a very busy weekend and a true pleasure to see the support of the community.

In addition to our business meeting on March 2nd and our special on March 9th, please keep in mind the Red Cross Blood Drive on March 10th, our regular breakfasts and the Euchre Party on March 26th.

Take care of each other and join us for our events as often as you can.

Fraternally,
Pat Bruen, Worthy Matron
