Hello Brethren,

I hope everyone is enjoying this nice fall weather. As I said in September, activity at the Lodge is increasing. First, we had a very active and

enjoyable Stated Meeting. We had an official visit from the Grand Lodge of Arizona, Worshipful Brother, Boyd Robertson, Grand Senior

Deacon . He delivered greetings from the Grand Master and encouraged us to help each other and other lodges as needed. Also in attend-

ance was Brother BJ Walzak who is a member of Fort Williams Lodge number 43 which is located Fort Williams, Scotland. He was very im-

pressing as he was dressed in the traditional Scottish uniform of jacket and Kilt. He presented the Lodge with a very fine plaque and a book

about the history of Fort Williams Lodge, which was chartered in 1743 (see the photograph in Lodge news).

Most Worshipful Brother, William Anderson Gerrard Junior, past Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona was also in

attendance. Worshipful brother, Bill, brought to our attention that our Boy Scout troop, which we sponsor, was in need. They have to pay

their re charter fee of about $600 which they do not have. A motion was made and seconded and we elected to donate $300.00 from the

Lodge. We also passed the hat during the meeting and collected an additional $282.00. This should help them reach their goal.

As most of you know, and many of you attended our fall Meet and Greet, the food and fellowship was wonderful, it was good to see every-

body. It was estimated that there was over 100 in attendance. We also had the pleasure to introduce our newest group to the Lodge, Job’s

Daughters. This is a wonderful and talented group of young ladies. It will be exciting to work with them. If you have never attended a Job’s

Daughters meeting, you need to. These young ladies are very dedicated to the ritual, and do a very fine job in delivering it. If you would

like to attend one of their meetings, check the calendar in the Trestleboard, any Master Mason in good standing can attend. A request was

made of those in attendance, to donate to our youth group. This request was met with great enthusiasm.

We collected $165.00 , THANK YOU !!

We also had a friend to friend program which was well attended, and we handed out a few petitions. Hopefully, we will have Degree work

to do this winter.

I do a lot of reading of different Masonic books, some new, some old. I found this passage in an old text. It was written by Benjamin Frank-

lin; unfortunately, it doesn’t give the date. It goes like this.

“Freemasonry has tenets peculiar to itself. They serve as testimonials of character and qualifications, which are only conferred after due

course of instruction and examination. These are of no small value; they speak a universal language, and act as a passport to the attention

and support of the initiated in all parts of the world. They cannot be lost as long as memory retains its power. Let the processor of them be

expatriated, shipwrecked or imprisoned, let him be stripped of everything he has got in the world, still those credentials remain, and are

available for use as circumstances require. The good effects they have produced are established by the most incontestable facts of history.

They have stayed the uplifted hand of the destroyer; they have softened the asperities of the tyrant; they have mitigated the horrors of

captivity; they have subdued the rancor malevolence; and broken down the barriers of political animosity and sectarian alienation. On the

field of battle, in the solitudes of the uncultivated forest, or in the busy haunts of the crowded city, they have made men of the most hos-

tile feelings, the most distant regions, and diversified conditions, rushed to the aid of each other and feel a special joy and satisfaction that

they have been able to afford relief to a brother Master Mason”.

Brethren, as we move through rest of this year, I want to continue to encourage us all to help each other, because it is the right thing to

do, not because we might get something for it in return.

Fraternally and sincerely,

Steve Wieters, Worshipful Master

,

Brethren.

I try to make my article about the good we do for Freemasonry., but you make this a little tough sometimes. As

Master Masons, we take upon ourselves a lot of responsibility, one of these is to take care of our widows. We, as a

Lodge, have not done this in many years. This is not due to our neglect, but due to not knowing who our widows

are. Our Secretary, WB Richard Flinton is working very hard to put a list together. If you, by “you” I mean any per-

son that receives this Trestleboard knows of a widow of this Lodge that has not received this Trestleboard or has

not been contacted by the Lodge, please let me know. As far as I am concerned, taking care of our widows is one of

the most important things a Master Mason can do. I hope to start a widow’s night at the Lodge or possibly taking

them out to dinner and a movie or play. Please assist me in this endeavor.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Craig Montgomery

Senior Warden

By The Plumb

One Sunday evening a young salesman was driving through the country for a meeting with a prospective client the following morn-

ing when his car broke down. Being Sunday evening, each call he made met with a recorded message informing him that business

hours were Monday thru Friday. Just at that moment he saw a farmer headed towards him on his tractor. After a brief discussion,

the farmer told him that he would pull his vehicle to his home, put him up for the evening, and loan him his truck the following

morning to make his appointment. Beside himself with gratitude the young salesman marveled at the generosity of the farmer. As

they shared an evening meal, the young man saw several pictures of the old farmer with groups of men wearing masonic aprons.

Glancing down at his own masonic ring that he recently received for being raised, the young man smiled and went to bed happy to

know that his brother had recognized his ring and taken care of him. The following day upon returning from his appointment, the

young man found that the farmer had repaired his car. The young man thanked him profusely and told the farmer how grateful he

was and how glad he was that he had joined the fraternity. The farmer gave him a puzzled look and the young man said, “I saw the

pictures of you with Masonic Brethren and I know you must have seen my Masonic ring. I understand that’s why you helped me.”

The old farmer just shook his head and said, “My Brother, I didn’t help you because you’re a Mason …I helped you because I am a

Mason.

I hope to see you all in lodge.

Fraternally

Sickness and Distress

NECROLOGY

James E. Paxton

“Remember him before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it”. ~ Ecclesiastes 12:6-7

Masonic tradition calls on us to aid and assist all distressed brothers, withersoever dispersed. While we are getting better at assisting our brothers, we have been neglecting our ladies and their needs. If any of you know of a sick or distressed brother or a Masonic widow in need, please call the lodge office at 623.972.2217 or Larry Gorelick at 623.561.2330.

The Trestleboard is available through your e-mail…

Issues of the Trestleboard can be sent directly to your e-mail. The advantage of this is

that you will receive it earlier than if mailed. To receive the Trestleboard in your e-mail,

please send your request and e-mail address to [email protected] or

Lodge news

At our September Stated Meeting. We had an official visit from the Grand Senior Deacon of F & AM of Arizona, Worshipful

Brother Boyd Robertson. We also had the pleasure to greet Most Worshipful Brother William A. Garrard Jr. Past Grand Master

of F & AM of Arizona. Also visiting our Lodge was Brother BJ Walzak, who is a member of Fort Williams Lodge # 43 which is

located in, Fort Williams, Scotland. As you can see in photo, he presented the Worshipful Master with a few mementos from

his Home Lodge. Also you can see that he was in full Scottish regalia.

At our regular meeting we had the pleasure to award companion Richard Edmands his 50 year service award from the Grand Council of

Cryptic Masons in Arizona. This is quite an accomplishment and Richard is a wonderful companion who is always ready to help. Due to

Family health reasons Richard has been unable to attend meetings on a regular basis, so at our Council meeting, we also presented

companion Richard Edmands his 50 year service award from the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Arizona. As I am the Worshipful

Master of Sun City Lodge number 72, it was requested by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona that I present Richard

Edmands his 60 year of service to Freemasonry, certificate and pin. Most Illustrious Grand Master, and Past Grand Master,

Willian A. Garrard Jr. assisted me in presenting Brother/Companion Richard his Certificates and Pins.

Welcome Companions,

First, I want to thank Most Illustrious Grand Master of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons in Arizona,

William Anderson Garrard Jr., for attending our September meeting. It is always a pleasure to have this outstanding Mason in attendance.

As the temperatures go down the activity in masonry increases, the Council is no different. We have some new companions who are

finishing their Royal arch degrees and hopefully will be interested in becoming Select Masters. We will also start to sell tickets for our

raffle. We are going to be raffling off a television. Companion Steven D. Wieters is in the process of securing the biggest, high definition

LED television that he can acquire for $400. Once we have the TV in hand we will get tickets printed and start to sell. We are also working

on the table Council dinner which is coming up in March 2017. We want this event to be a large and successful.

At our regular meeting we had the pleasure to award companion, Richard Edmands, his 50 year award from the Grand Council of Cryptic

Masons in Arizona. This is quite an accomplishment and Richard is a wonderful companion who is always ready to help. Due to health rea-

sons, Richard has been unable to attend meetings on a regular basis, so at our Council meeting, we also presented companion, Richard Ed-

mands, his 50 year award from the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Arizona. As most of you know, I am also the Worshipful Master

of Sun City Lodge number 72, so it was requested by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona that I present Richard Ed-

mands his 60 year of service to Freemasonry certificate and pin. Most Illustrious Grand Master, Willian A. Garrard Jr. assisted me in pre-

senting Brother/Companion Richard his Certificates and Pins.

PIONEER LODGE THANKGIVING TURKEYS

How would you like to make your Thanksgiving a LOT easier and a LOT more delicious?

Pioneer Lodge #82 is going to have 40 smoked, fully cooked turkeys available on the

Sunday Nov 20th and Wednesday Nov 23rd before Thanksgiving Day. All you have to do is

come over to Sun City Lodge and the Smoked Turkeys will be ready. Thanksgiving Day will

be easier! Simply Heat up the bird and dinner is served.

These turkeys are probably the tastiest turkeys you have ever eaten. The funds will be used

for Masonic causes.

Supply is very limited so put your order in TODAY. All orders must be prepaid

($40 per turkey). If you absolutely want a delicious smoked turkey for Thanksgiving,

contact Keven Pauling at 623.764.6716 or [email protected] ASAP.

He will coordinate with you to secure payment.

Remember, we have a limited supply of these very tasty turkeys. Once they are sold that’s

it.

The turkeys MUST BE KEPT REFRIGERATED until you are ready to heat and serve them.

Easy to follow instructions will be provided on how to heat them.
