Well said

Brothers, don't just TAKE the Degrees, STUDY them! LEARN them! What they mean! If not, you are just cheating yourself. You are paying for them, so learn well their lessons. You will then appreciate their truths, beauty, and deep significance and value to you. You'll be a better man, a happier man, a more useful citizen.

The Craftsman who gauges his life in accordance with Masonic Moral Law will be a better son, a more understanding husband and father, a more loyal friend, and he will know the real joy of living! Masonry is not merely a ritual, a Lodge, a club, it's a way of life — a plan for living!

Greetings, Brothers!

Well, I’m sure many of you are enjoying the fall season — but, maybe not so much the leaf raking 🍂🍁! Fall is easy on the eyes but not always on the back. Thankfully, the time ⌚️change hasn’t thrown me off too much — I hope it’s been kind to you all as well

As you all know, I practice and practice every year for Thanksgiving — and I have yet to perfect it! 🦃 I guess I just need more… a lot more practice haha

🤝 Fraternally,
Bum Cheol Han, PM

🔹For the Good of the Craft

While our Lodge & membership are involved in many charitable & community assistance endeavors, we want to highlight the following effort. • Brought to the attention of the Lodge by Bro Jeff S, PM (Committee Chairman), was a widow in the community in need of assistance.

Having recently taken the mantle of widowed, completing foreclosure and nearly financially destitute, this matriarch set forth to rebuild what remained. • With the less/than-expected life insurance funds, she purchased a modular home in Shelby Twp, under the impression the roof had at least 3-5 good yrs left. • With events seemingly finally getting back on track, she continued to pick up the pieces of a shattered journey.

Even in her time of sorrow and distress, she wore the blessing and responsibility of mother and grandma with pride and fearlessness. • Her daughter, also falling on tough times, soon moved in with her two young children, creating a happy family unit under one roof. • That roof, however, proved not only to not have 5 yrs remaining, but barely 5 months. • Not unlike the love that poured in when this family reunited, the rain waters permeated and spread throughout the home’s interior.

Word reaching Jeff S and then our Lodge, swift action was approved and set in motion to extend a helping hand to this harrowing family. • In the coming days, before the harsh depths of Michigan winter set in, a new roof is being installed to the deteriorating side

This positive impact in our community wouldn’t be possible without the generous support and labor of Marv Roofing and Exteriors (tagged above as post sponsor), our partners on this project. Justin and the crew at Marv Roofing & Exteriors are handling the work of returning the house to a comfortable home, just in time for the holidays.

Thanks Justin and all Marv Roofing & Exteriors for your partnership in helping this family

NOTE: If you are a local org looking for a partner to make a positive impact on the community, or if know of someone in the community in of dire assistance, please comment below or DM

Today is the 273rd anniversary of George Washington's initiation or "making" as a Freemason. He was made an Entered Apprentice Mason at the age of twenty in the Lodge at Fredericksburg, Virginia, on November 4, 1752. He paid £2, 3 shillings, which would be approximately $500 today. At the Memorial, we honor him as America's foremost Freemason. Shown here is the Bible upon which Washington took his Masonic obligation, which is still maintained by Fredericksburg Lodge.

This year's Mason of the Year Award was a unique and particularly poignant one. Brother Dan Conrad was a 57 year Mason, and had recently served as Steward. Brother Dan worked diligently and fervently in that role, often being the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Brother Dan was a source of fellowship, levity, and practical wisdom within the Lodge. Always quick with a smile and a joke, Brother Dan was a pleasure to have in Lodge. In the bonds built in fellowship outside of Lodge, Brother Dan loved to relate stories of his time as a United States Navy pilot in Vietnam, and his extensive aviation career.

Brother Dan passed away unexpectedly in April, and he is profoundly missed. This award is a token of our esteem for him and a measure of our appreciation for all he did.

Accepting the award on his behalf is his son, Brother Chris Conrad.
