Brethren,
We have had quite a month of May haven’t we. It’s been very busy.
I want to thank every-one who made our 2nd Annual Comedy night a success. Despite the obvious problem with the headliner we had 300 people fill the Bridgewater Vets club and had some great conversation and great food from the Italian Kitchen of Brockton. Many Brothers came together to make everything hap-pen. Unfortunately, after many calls to confirm Steve Sweeney thought it was on Saturday and wasn’t able to be reached on the night of the show. We are in talks with his manager to make things right. Stay tuned.
The summer is also promising to be excit-ing for the lodge. We are in talks with Satucket Lodge to have them merge with us to continue their Masonic journey. There are a lot of issues that need to be talked about and decided, and it needs to be brought before the lodge for a vote. We hope to get this taken care of soon so that we can have more information at the next reg-ular communication.
Lastly, make sure you watch out for your-selves in these spring and summer days. If you ride motorcycles, make sure you watch out for other drivers and stay safe. We’re still getting used to the heat, so make sure to take it slow and drink plenty of water. We want to make sure eve-ryone can visit us on at Lodge.
Fraternally, David Ralph Heidke, Master

Hello Brethren,
As the summer months approach and we look forward to a rest from our “Masonic Labors” we must not forget the important work yet to be done. The election of new line offic-ers for the ensuing year!
If you have a desire to lead and improve yourself then becoming a line officer may be for you. Ask the current offic-ers and let your desires be know. Many Lodges struggle to fill the chairs and are looking for moti-vated and committed men to carry them into the fu-ture. Remember we are all Brothers so don’t hesitate to look for Lodges other than your Blue Lodge that may need your help.
The June LOI will be held at the Tri-Town Masonic Building in East Bridgewater and promises to be a wonderful night. There will be a barbeque dinner of chicken and sausage starting at 6 pm. The Ladies and guests will be treated to a night of dance lessons lead by our own RW Craig Erickson and his wife. Then the guests will be invited into the Lodge Room for our two guest speakers who are local au-thors.
I want to thank the Officers and Members who continue to accompany me on my Suites and those who have made the effort to attend LOI. I want to encourage you to continue to visit and support the other Lodges and their events. Also keep an eye out for the many events scheduled for the summer months and be sure to put them on your calendar. Also a reminder that the Rainbow Camp in Hanson holds a work party on the third Sunday of the month and are always in need of help. If you need more information please call me.
Fraternally, Rt. Wor. Brother Michael John Kelly D.D.G.M., 17th District
