As we close the book on September 2006, and enter the Month of October, I would be remiss in not reminding the Brethren that the worst month in a Master’s year is fast approaching.  That is the month of November and the Balloting for Suspension for Non Payment of Dues, the NPD number is down, but even a Ballot of one (1) Brother for NPD is too many.  If a Brother is having any type of difficulty, it is incumbent on him to contact the Worshipful Master, who is the only person who may be able to relieve his burden.
  
 On a personal note, I would like to notify the Brethren that I will be unable to preside over the November Stated Meeting due to personal obligations.  Brother Christopher Johnson has been approved for a transfer to the Philadelphia area with Customs and Border Protection, I will be flying to Arizona and helping Christopher pack and drive back to New Jersey in time for the Master Mason Degrees.

    The October Stated Meeting will be an Open Meeting after the business is conducted, a presentation will be given by a Customs and Border Protection Inspector from the Department of Homeland Security.  He will present information on the “State” of immigration and how it relates to Terrorism.
Remember our Brethren who are sick or distressed, keep them in our prayers, and if you have a minute give them a call or drop them a line, or a card of encouragement and support.  Remember that our Fraternity is built on Friendship, Brotherly Love, and Charity. 

    We had a very good attendance at the Masonic Home on our assigned Sunday, September 24, 2006 for the wheelchair push. The Residents, and I, thank all who attended and helped.   October is going to be a very busy month. Get your dinner reservations in early for Friday, October 13, 2006. Jean Taylor will be preparing homemade Chicken Soup which will be accompanied with rolls, butter, a salad and a light desert, come out and enjoy the Fraternal Communication with your Brethren.  There will be no dinner for the Fellow Craft Degree on Friday, October 20, 2006, there will be light refreshments following the Degree as we have to save room for the refreshments on the bus Saturday, October 21, 2006 and the meals that will accompany the trip to the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria Virginia. Our Fellow Craft Brethren who receive their FC Degree on Friday Evening will be our guests along with the Brethren who receive their FC Degree on Saturday at the George Washington Memorial in Alexandria Lodge #22.
    A Special Thanks for all the helpers and organizers of the Flea Market, another tremendous success.  A Special Thanks once again to Edna Frantz who co-ordinated the event. Perhaps the “Dunk Tank” will become a tradition, even if the water was cold!                                  
                     
                                       Fraternally;

                                 William W. Johnson, Sr.
                                 Worshipful Master
