Words from the East – February 2010 • Eastern Light

Live your Masonry, Have fun, Enjoy it.

Greetings Brethren,
I would like to have you ask yourself, have you been living your Masonry, having fun, and enjoying it? If so, congratulations! If not, why not? Since I started following that simple phrase, my life has changed for the better. Ever since being raised, I have met some great people, introduced new people to Masonry, and new pleasures have opened
to my view.

Do you proudly display a square & compass on your vehicle, or clothing? In the past, I have worn a Masonic shirt or pin and been recognized by brethren at cigar socials in other states. I met about a dozen Brothers’ at Hog’s Breath Saloon in Key West Florida. In addition to meeting existing brothers of the craft, what have you done to introduce a
prospective member of the fraternity to our teachings and principals? Our symbols have been in the news quite a bit recently. Someone may meet you, see how you conduct yourself in your daily life, and be prompted to ask the question or questions that may lead him on the path to make himself a better man, and this world a better
place.

I would like to thank the members of the lodge who have been traveling with me, and supporting our Lodge. January was a busy month. In the first week, we had an entertaining program at our business meeting. The following week, fifteen members of Mozart Lodge successfully removed the 18th District Traveling Gavel from the clutches of Collingswood-Cloud Lodge #101. I’m sure we will lose it at our Official Visit, but it was a great night of fellowship! Next was our first conferral of the Entered Apprentice degree of the year, on three candidates. On January 22, there were two full tables of Mozart members and spouses at the Scottish Rite dinner in Collingswood, and finally we had eleven visitors to the Masonic HOME to help the Brethren arrive at the Chapel Services.

While I began this message about wearing our emblems so that people know we are Freemasons, ultimately, it is what we say and do that will convince the world of the good effects of Masonry. Mozart Lodge is living Freemasonry day by day. Come live it with us.

Fraternally,
Michael F Ohr Jr. – Worshipful Master

January Program – Pinups for Pitbulls • Masonic News

Our January meeting will conclude with a video presentation by Little Darling from Pinups for Pit Bulls, a 501(c)3. Soon to be featured on Discovery/Animal Planet’s new show “Pit Boss” , they work to educate the public about the history and temperament of the American Pit Bull Terrier and Bully Breeds, to raise awareness about Breed Specific Legislation and Breed-Specific abuse, and to raise funds for bully-breed-friendly rescues and dogs in need.

Their goal is to reestablish the defamed reputation of the Pit Bull as America’s premier companion animal, war hero, and therapy dog.

Words from the East – January 2010 • Eastern Light

Greetings Brethren,

I hate to be clichéd and say something like: “Since my election, it has been a whirlwind”, but it honestly has. December has been such a busy month, that I was actually glad to get back to work after the holidays. Going back to work provided me with a brief chance to catch my breath, Of course, I‟m of the mindset that busy is good, and that being busy keeps us from getting ourselves into trouble. With that thought in mind, Mozart Lodge is going to have a busy year!

I am focused on working hard, and playing harder. Between degrees and social events, we already have a full schedule for the first half of the year. We have a young officer line, men with fresh, young ideas. As a result, there is a little something for everyone. If you can‟t find something you like, then contact me and tell me what you think we are missing.

We are also going to be bringing back a few things that we have strayed away from over the years. One will be that, at the conclusion of each meeting, we will be place a hat outside the door of the lodge room for donations, for either the Charity Fund, or our designated charity of the month. Brethren, I know these are tough times, but please do what you can. Of course, if you are unable to make a financial donation, we will always appreciate your time and support of our degree work and social activities. With many committees being formed and events upcoming, I challenge you to get involved. Even a few hours a month can go a long way, many hands make little work!

My brothers, I have the utmost confidence in our officers, our member‟s participation, and that overall, Mozart Lodge is moving forward in every way.

Fraternally,
Michael F Ohr Jr.
Worshipful Master

You Can Help • Masonic Events

On Sunday, January 24th, 2010, Mozart Lodge has been asked to help carry on a decades old tradition of assisting those of our brethren and their families who need help getting to chapel at the Masonic HOME. This is that example of charity that extends beyond the grave and cannot be bought. Either be at the HOME by 9, or have breakfast on the WM at 7:45 at Amy‟s Omelette House (Rt 130 South & High Street in Burlington).
