Brothers,Speaking of Lodge funds, we received our 2012 bill forinsurance on the Lodge building, liability andparaphernalia and the premium increased over 60% thisyear. Most of it is due to windstorm damage coverage.If anyone knows of a better way to get less expensiveinsurance coverage for our lodge please let me know.

Im still open for information to add to the Trestleboardeach month. Im going to have each line officer add theircomments in future editions. Anyone else with pertinentinformation is very welcome to participate.

And, as usual, check your dues cards. I still haveseveral in my office that say 2012 on them and havenot been claimed.

Taken from Emessay Notes, January 2012

Who Are the Sideliners?ByDonald E. Todd, of Hamilton Lodge, No 664, reprinted from Iowas Grand Lodge Bulletin

On the sidelines is defined by Websters New World Dictionary as (1) in the area along the sidelines;(2) outside the main sphere of action; (3) not actively participating. The noun, sideliner describes the person

who is on the sideline. The sideliner helps comprise the largest single group at most any function or activity.

The Sideliner in a Masonic Lodge is that person who holds no office, is not taking part in the ritual orhas no committee responsibility. As such, it would appear that the Sideliner serves no useful purpose in theLodge. Nothing can be further from the truth.

To be a Sideliner, one must first of all attend Lodge. Then, if he is loyal, cooperative, enthusiastic,cordial, sympathetic and courageous, he is befitting his Lodge and the Fraternity. It is the Sideliner whokeeps the Lodge viable. It is the Sideliner who makes the Lodge work. It is the Sideliner who is the Lodge.

You, too, can be a Sideliner.

Palliate - - Aggravate

You are not to palliate nor aggravate the offenses of your brethren, but in the decision of every trespass against our

rules . . . .

At first glance, the meaning of the word palliate is a no brainer, i.e. dont beat up on your brethren. Most Masons

know what these words mean (or think they do), but then when the dictionary (American Heritage Dictionary) is consulted,

there is a twist.

1. To make (an offense or crime) seem less serious extenuate.2. To make less severe or intense; mitigate.

Then there are the synonyms: extenuate, gloss over, white wash.

When one thinks about it, the words seem to say: treat the acts of your brethren equally dont whitewash his deeds

but dont persecute him either.
