A fantastic March bulletin to each of you, Brethren!
We never really had much of a cool-down this Winter, so the warming of Spring may feel like it's coming early, but rest assured Spring is at our gate and ready to knock! And with the changing seasons come new opportunities for fellowship and camaraderie.
In addition to making new Masons at March's Stated, we will find more opportunities to share our time together at the March Madness viewing party! Planned for Saturday, March 21st, at Pinstripes in Bethesda, MD (11920 Grand Park Ave, North Bethesda, MD 20852), we are looking into booking bowling and bocce ball lanes for our families to enjoy. Appetizers, drinks, and meals will be available for purchase while we watch the Round 2 games! How will your bracket hold up?
Due to planning needs, we ask that you R.S.V.P. to this event to help us gauge the involvement and what we should book for space or purchase for refreshments. Follow the link to respond with your anticipated involvement; there is no obligation or cost associated with your response.
Wherever our paths may cross in our travels, I look forward to seeing you in our journeys!
Places and Stations: The Tiler is the outer guard of our Lodge, and serves as the last line of defense for the admission of proper Masons. While it may seem a trivial position in our contemporary setting, it should be noted that, historically, the duty of the Tiler is to truly protect the secrets we have sworn ourselves to maintain. What good is our secrecy if a “spy” managed to sneak into our proceedings? Relevant to our own experiences, the Tiler allows us to invite non-Masons to our events and ensues that, while we conduct our ritual, they are not tempted to “lift the vail” and, in doing so, betray our trust in our invitation.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Jason Lee
Worshipful Master
