Masonic Memories: February 2009
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. EA in Allegan and South Haven, Scottish Rite Club. Last week several of us went to Allegan. To attend their EA degree. Tim was asked to be Marshall, a role he "was born for", according to the BGP. I helped as a steward. I also hope we've made better contacts with nearby lodges. I know the master of Allegan. Will be attending a degree in Paw Paw (even though no one from Paw Paw attended their degree, but five from South Haven showed up), but I hope some of the other Allegan.

Masonic Memories: May 2007
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 8, 2007. I've been reading about lodge education. Tonight the officers are going to be giving the EA lectures from our state; I'll sit in and see if I can help since I'm in town, and because I want to help out when I can. In the GL magazine ( http:/ www.grandlodgemi.org/from-point-to-pointe.cfm. There's a request for Lodge Education Officers to contact the state LEO; only about 10 -15% of our lodges seem to have these officers. Monday, May 7, 2007. I "can't" do it the hard way? I'm not someo...

Masonic Memories: South Haven MM
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2009/06/south-haven-mm.html
Sunday, June 7, 2009. On Saturday, May 30th South Haven held a Master Mason degree. There were 15 visitors helping us raise Ron, and the practice and planning really paid off. We were not letter perfect. Not everyone knew their lines without the book. But thanks to help from Coloma, Lakeshore, Kalamazoo and other lodges we had plenty of people and an extremely successful degree. If I'm in town, and can possibly make it, I will do anything I can to help my brother lodges. The turnout was wonderful.

Masonic Memories: September 2007
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2007. I've been fairly active, even if I haven't blogged at all. In August we had our Open House and MICHIP. Program. We created ID kits for 83 children; we had several visitors - no petitions - at the open house. In September I missed my first meeting since being initated (in January), due to work travel.

Masonic Memories: The Trestleboard
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2009/04/trestleboard.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2009. This year the WMs are writing a lot, which means a lot of paraphrasing and editing. There's only so much room. The first issue was on 11x17. There's a lot going on in our lives, and it usually takes a while before we have the time it takes to do this. Will this help our tardy WM deliver on time? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Masonic Memories: February 2012
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. It's been a while since I've been here, and I've served my year in the East. Apparently I didn't do as well as I thought because I am serving another year. I hope I don't have to get it right before I can relinquish the Oriental Chair. I went to a leadership workshop. A week ago, and I recognized. A host of errors I've made as Master. As a result I'm indulging in a little self- flagellation. And if you choose not to watch, I can't say that I blame you. More importantly, three o...

Masonic Memories: March 2009
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. My parents were raised Southern Baptist. My brother is Catholic and my sister is Jewish. I was baptized in a generic Christian church. My soul, I think, is Jewish. I feel more at ease among Jews than any one else. I remembered that recently when I went to my nieces' Bat Mitzvah in New York. I felt more like myself there. The cultural differences between New York and South Haven are vast. I am not making this up). My wife asked me the other day, "why would anyone want to be a Mason?

Masonic Memories: Grand Master Visit
http://masonicpath.blogspot.com/2009/03/grand-master-visit.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. The Most Worshipful Grand Master of Michigan popped by last night. The meeting basically went like this:. We have big charities, please donate to them. We are really low on money, especially since our reserves were eaten up in the stock market. We are not gaining members as fast as we need to. We need to raise per-capita, so there are two proposals. One raises the per-capita $50, the other raises it $12.50 over 4 years. Any questions? Q: We can't afford raising dues $50 a year.
