2010-2011<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brethren and Friends,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope all of you have had a happy holiday season.\u00a0 I have been completely amazed by the support and effort put forth by everyone as we accomplished so much during those busy months of November and December.\u00a0 A new year is upon us and I can only believe that the enthusiasm and commitment I have seen from Harmony will continue on throughout the term.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the coming month we will be initiating several new candidates, good men with only the slightest insight of what our craft has to offer them, or more importantly what they have to offer the craft.\u00a0 With this thought in mind, I look to those of you on the sidelines to offer some of your time.\u00a0 Brother Jason Gail will be running the classes this year, and I have the utmost faith that he will teach these men to be proficient in our work, but as we all know that is only the beginning.\u00a0 We have eleven candidates in this class, and I am looking for eleven or more volunteers, to each single out a candidate and offer him your counsel, your experiences, your thoughts on masonry.\u00a0 Not just to help them with the work of a candidate, but to gain an understanding of what we do, and why.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those planning on attending dinner before the meeting this month, please take a few moments to either call Steve Reali or make a reservation on the Harmony website.\u00a0 It has become increasingly more difficult to plan for dinners, and because of this the dinner cost will be $10 for those who have not made reservations.\u00a0 For those of you who would like to be on a “permanent” dinner list, we will be offering a dinner club.\u00a0\u00a0 The cost for the remainder of this\u00a0 year will be $40, and includes dinner at all regular meetings through June, including the June steak fry and March District Deputy Visit dinner.\u00a0 A new dinner club will begin each September and will include all regular meeting meals for that year.\u00a0 This will be the only “permanent” dinner list.\u00a0 Please see either myself or one of the Stewards to join the dinner club.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, please remember that deposits are due at the January meeting for anyone planning to join us this February at our annual Cape Cod get-away weekend.\u00a0 Wor. Steve Charron will once again be running this event, and I am certain it will be a fantastic weekend as always, although I have retired as the Friday night chef.\u00a0 Please see contact steve for any further information, or to offer your assistance.<\/p>\n
