I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t first speak on our May Regular Communication. I couldn\u2019t be more impressed with the showing of brothers from within and visiting Harmony, not only was there a fantastic attendance but their involvement in Fidelity Chapter\u2019s Initiatory Degree was beyond what anyone could have asked for. If it put a little more pressure on Fidelity’s Master Councilor, Danny Harrison, you wouldn\u2019t have known it. Danny along with his officers put on a fantastic degree! We couldn\u2019t be more thankful. I encourage all the newly made Honorary DeMolay to show their appreciation by attending one of Fidelity\u2019s meetings in the future.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0The first half of our year has had its setbacks, but I couldn\u2019t be happier to see the Lodge coming back into the swing of things. Harmony is returning to the Lodge we all know and love, as it was before COVID hit. Thank you, Worshipful Brother Connor, and Worshipful Brother Desplaines, for holding Harmony together through those difficult times. Your efforts set us up for being able to continue our traditions of conferring degrees and welcoming new Brothers to our beloved Craft. It has allowed our officers to move forward and prepare ourselves for all the great events this summer and the rest of our current year.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0Speaking of summer, we have a lot going on for our Harmony Picnic, which will be held in conjunction with the other lodges from the central district. We are fast approaching our Annual Charity Golf Tournament in July to benefit R.I. Special Olympics. This charity means a lot to me personally and I am excited to see many of you there. If you haven\u2019t registered with your foursome yet, do it today. Worshipful Brother Dave Desplaines is hosting a Charity Corn Hole Tournament to raise funds for Harmony\u2019s Masonic Angel Fund. As always be on the lookout for more events being hosted by our Lodge and our Fellowcraft Club.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0As we begin our summer and enjoy our much-deserved family time, I ask you to take the time to reach out to your brothers and family in Harmony. Just because we aren\u2019t meeting in blue Lodge doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t get together at each other homes, a restaurant or down at the Masonic Youth Center for and impromptu cookout.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fraternally yours,<\/p>\n Worshipful Joshua A.D.
