Stated Communication
From The East
Brethren,
Time has a way of passing us by. Already it is October. Just a reminder, October is Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. If at all possible, contribute in some way to a charity of your choice that works in finding a cure
for this terrible disease. Many people are affected this year by this cancer and can surely use our help.
There are some events to mention this month. We will be raising two Fellow Crafts on October 5th, come on out
to Lodge and join us in this memorable occasion. Degree will start at 7:30.
Grand Master Elect Dale Irwin's installation will be held on October 13th, at the Clayton Fire Hall in
Clayton, Delaware starting at 7PM. For more information, please see the Grand Lodge website. Also, there will
be a reception for Grand Master Dale on Friday, October 14th, at 7 PM at the New Castle Masonic Hall, by Ionic
Lodge #31. RSVP to D. Edward Wright at dewmetal1@comcast.net or by calling 302-834-4231. Dress code is Masonic
Lodge appropriate.
As always, I look forward to seeing my brothers in Lodge on October 12th, for our next stated communication.
Until then my brothers, stay healthy and safe.
Fraternally,
W∴M∴ Frank E. Hartsell, PM
