Brethren:                                                                                                         November 26, 2011

At our regular Lodge meeting on Nov. 11, 2011, I put forth a proposal to create an organization within our Lodge structure to be known as “BUILDERS of the TEMPLE”. It is to be made up of members of our Lodge that perform the second section of the Master Mason Degree. With the idea that we will have more than one member for each part of the second section of the degree to be able to perform one or more of the parts.

I can see where we could have a full cast ready to perform the degree whenever called upon to do so. I would like to see us able to give assistance to other lodges when asked. Also, we could perform the second section for other Lodges when asked in full costume with the expectation of receiving a donation toward a fund to repair and replace our costumes.

At the behest of our Sr. Warden I have asked R.W. Bro. Bruce Zielinski to assist in setting this idea in motion. We have to set up an organization with by-laws to operate this group. The idea is make this a group that many of our members of the Lodge would want to be a part of with prestige. The idea is to invite

Individual members to join the group which will be a mark of prestige.

Are you willing to be a member of this outstanding group known as “BUILDERS of the TEMPLE”?

When you are contacted, please seriously consider joining us. Once we have enough members to get this started, we should meet for a breakfast or lunch or dinner to get organized and meet periodically. Bro. Don Elfreth would have liked to see this operating for our MMº on Nov. 29, 2011. I told him that we can begin to get things together but it is going take a little more time to get things operating as I vision them.

We will be sending out special invitations to join this elite group very soon. We will be able to give outstanding performances. You will be the envy of many Master Masons.
