Master’s Letter | April 2011 

Dearest Brethren and Friends,

As April approaches, we have 14 new Entered Apprentices eager to pursue their continued journey into our time-honored fraternity. Join us as we confer their Fellowcraft Degree on April 20th at the Pittsfield Grange. We are going to be very busy that evening! All of our Lodge Stewards - if not more Brethren - will be needed to assist with this very special evening. If you have not been to Lodge lately, please come and lend a hand!

On April 23rd we will be honoring the District Mason of the Year – our own Worshipful Bro. Art Davidge, PM. This dinner will be held at Zal Gaz Grotto, on Stadium Boulevard. RSVPs with dinner selection are due to our Junior Warden, Bro. Scott Graf no later than April 16th. Dinner will be $12, and the main entrees to choose from will be New York strip steak, chicken breast or linguini with Alfredo sauce. Please come and help honor Worshipful Brother Art!

Visitation is an important part of every Mason’s journey. By encountering new
Lodges in new places, one experiences the subtle nuances between different Lodges, different states and different countries. In Michigan, we are fortunate to have strong ties with our Prince Hall Brethren. An incredible opportunity will happen on Saturday, April 30th - a joint Master Mason Degree with the Grand Lodge of Michigan and the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Michigan. We surely will be arranging carpools to attend this event. Please contact me if you are interested in attending. EDIT: Unfortunately this event has been canceled

Interested in wearables? If you missed the first edition of our T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts, fear not. Bro. Bob Hospadaruk has done an excellent job once again in putting together an updated design for us. T-shirts are $15 and hooded sweatshirts are $30. Ordering information  can be found here on our site [NOTE: All orders are due on April 20]

Remember, one can always find more details about any of our events on this website and our Trestleboard therein. From our Lodge to you and your families, we wish you the very best of health and happiness.
Warmest fraternal regards,

brian cors
Worshipful Master
