COLLATION

 Cronie Frank Porter to supply collation this evening.

From the Degree Team Manager:

   Upcoming Outings:  Third Degrees - Not open to Public

   March 1st - Phoenix Lodge, Hanover

   March 20th - Weymouth United Lodge, Weymouth

The following Cronies attended the last meeting;

   Peter MacDonald, John Fawcett, Frank Porter, John Knox, Cecil Simpkins, Arthur McIntyre, Wil Cote, Gordon Craig, Murray Romans, Jeff Jarvis, Jim Logan, Dale Naismith and Ken Shaw. 

   Please make the secretary's job easier by paying now and not stretching it out several months with may attempts to collect. There are quite a few that owe for more than last year's dues and will be dropped from the mailing list and e-mail soon.  And I mean soon.  We are expected and we hope that you will too:  Dues for this year are now twenty dollars ($20.00)

   Application fee for membership is now thirty dollars ($30.00) which includes the dues for the current year.  The fee shall accompany the application.

 

  

President's Desk - February 2012

   My thanks to crony Gordon Craig for the outstanding collation of sausages wrapped in a pastry blanket, and the very old fine bottle of refreshment last meeting.  Gordon you have hit a new high water mark.

   As discussed last month, greater care will be taken to the future to notify the floor team members of all schedule outings.  Crony Jeff Jarvis, our ritual floor manager as well as myself and the secretary, will phone or mail any information to brothers not endowed with e-mail.

   On a lighter note, Crony Arthur McIntyre has a new e-mail address, yes it is true, A.Mcintyre@kilwinningclub.org

   As installations are complete for the season, we are now receiving inquiries for degree work, after long discussion the club has decided to perform such degree work on a selected basis.  We as a club are not a replacement for proper degree work.  It has always been our policy to offer such service as an adjunct to the standard requirements placed on all lodges in the jurisdiction, however, should an emergency present itself, then every effort will be made to provide assistance.

   Speaking of assistance, Cronies where are you?  Your club only functions well when there are many opinions expressed at the monthly meetings.

   It was nice to have as many members at the meeting as we had last month.  But, remember my brothers, you give up your rights to be heard, if you are not in attendance.  Not to mention your share of the sausages and your cut of the Dram.

   Please take note of the Secretary's report of the upcoming degree work and when it comes. Answer the call of duty from Crony Jeff Jarvis.

Fraternally,

Crony Brother Peter MacD.

President

CLUB PINS

   Club pins are now available for $2.00 each to members. We will be giving these out to brothers that the club raises or installs as master at our outings. If you would like to have one, they will only be available at club meetings.

   If you know of any crony that is in need of support and would like a visit, please let us know. We are over 100 members now and can’t keep track of all unless we are notified of their circumstances.
