From
the East
Brethren,
Please
note that our Stated
Meeting is on November 2nd. We have arranged for a special presentation by Bro
Daniel Gaucher of Arundel Lodge. He will
be presenting information on the challenges of bringing virtual reality into
mainstream use. I saw his presentation
at Arundel Lodge and found it interesting and thought provoking.
In
the October trestleboard I wrote that I had not met a significant number of our
members and I felt I had missed out because of it. As a result one of our brothers proposed a
new program called “Meet
the Master”. The premise is that if any member of York
lodge, who has not met the sitting master, would come to lodge and introduce
himself his name would be placed in a hat and at the end of the year two names
will be drawn and those two brethren would have their next year’s dues
paid. I have already been told that
nothing will come of it and we won’t even get two to come in. I most sincerely hope that will not be the
case.
At
the October stated meeting the lodge approved the revised by-laws content with
corrections to be made for grammar, punctuation and typos. The final version will be sent to Grand Lodge
for approval before the Annual Meeting.
Our inspection was held on October 19th and went very well. Many thanks to those who worked so diligently
to prepare and participate in this event.
The November stated meeting will be my last regular stated
meeting in the East. It is hard to
believe it has been a year, but it has.
I started the year with high expectations and a list of goals to
achieve. Did we get them accomplished?
Some yes, some no, some partly. Overall
it was a pretty good year.
Remember our Annual Meeting and
election of officers will be on December 7th held so be prepared to
attend.
Past Masters night originally scheduled for November 18th has been postponed. Date to be annouonced.
Fraternally,
Wor Dan
Fink
