Wor. Lee H. Fenn is appointed as Executive Editor of Trowel Magazine

Posted on by
I am humbled and honored by the trust Grand Lodge has placed in me regarding the editorship of Trowel magazine.  It will be difficult, especially for this first issue, but with your help, I believe we can keep the Trowel vibrant and interesting to the Brethren.
But this issue will be particularly difficult and I need your help in two ways:
First: I need help finding a new Lodge and District news editor.  The person must be a good magazine/newspaper writer, a good photographer, and excited about attending a large range of Masonic events.
Second: I need help with Lodge and District news articles for this issue.  You know that we need anniversary–60, 65,70 and 75 years– and Joseph Warren photos.  But also, I need an increased number of submissions of other stories from Lodges, Rainbow Girls, Eastern Star, Demolay, etc.  Normally, I would have the time to follow up with stories, but that will be limited for this issue.
I would greatly appreciate your communicating this to the Lodges and bodies in your district and if you know of a person fitting the description of Lodge and District News Editor, please forward him my email address.
Thank you for the help, as always,
Bro. Lee

Does Your House Own You?

Posted on by
WOW! What a change in our lives. Yes, I retired this past March and in May we moved into a great apartment at The Overlook. Guess what? We didn’t have to mow the grass, weed the garden, prune the trees or shovel snow during the past 9 months. We just enjoyed our new surroundings. With our house hitting the 25 year mark, it was always crying for some repairs and updating. That is now a thing of the past!
Have you considered how much of a burden your house is becoming? Are you looking to relax, whether retired or not? If so, contact me and learn more about The Overlook.

Grand Master’s “Mini-Tour” 2013

Posted on by

 

The “Grand Lodge Listening Tour” became a crucial element and a successful component of M.W. Richard J. Stewart’s term as Grand Master. To continue to demonstrate his dedication to the success of the Craft in the rest of 2013 and beyond, the Grand Master will be visiting a region of the state in each of the next three months to discuss a variety of topics with the membership.

The focus of this “Mini-Tour” is to demonstrate the importance of fiscal responsibility in our lodges by discussing how lodges and building associations can improve their finances, to continue the conversation about the best approaches to the membership development process, and whatever else the brethren would like to address.
In the last two years, you spoke, and the Grand Master (and his leadership team) have listened. Today, we desire to continue the conversation in order to move the fraternity further along towards its long-term goals.
The Listening Tour stops will each be held at 6:00pm. This event is open to all Massachusetts Masons regardless of degree. Proper dress attire is coat and tie.

The Agenda for each of the tour stops is as follows:

  • 6:00pm Welcome
  • 6:05pm Grand Master’s Opening Remarks
  • 6:15pm Presentation
  • 6:30pm Conversation
  • 8:30pm Collation

We’ve tried to bring the Grand Master to within an hour’s drive for the convenience of our brethren in various parts of the state. The dates and locations for the Grand Master’s Mini-Tour this fall are:
