Please consider donating to maintain the source for teaching the ideals of which this country was founded on and of which the Masonic concordant bodies would not exist without.   If you wish to make a donation you can stipulate your desires on how it is to be used to the Secretary at his email address.

             From the East

Brethren,

  We have been having a good year thus far, with good degree work and fellowship. Four of us went to Laughlin lodge for the GMOV and had a great dinner and an excellent George Washington presentation put on by Harry Christopher and listened to a great message from our Grand Master, Most Worshipful "Bud Banks".
  March will provide another chance to hear the Grandmaster's message as we visit Acacia lodge on the 10th.
  We should also be getting involved with Bikes for Books program this month. Look for more info on that, and come out and
join us for fellowship and degree work even if you just want to watch.

Fraternally,

Mike Harris
Worshipful Master
               From the West

Greetings from the West,

  It was a busy month with dinner at Acacia and some time to practice our work. Thanks to all who participated in both, it was time well spent.  I suspect that the upcoming months will be just  as busy.
  I would like recipes in order to put together a cook book as a fund raiser and an idea place for the Junior Warden. So, if you have been in the South or are looking forward to your time in the kitchen send me your recipes.
  The Rooster was taken back by Nellis 46, so we should plan a visit one Tuesday evening (not their stated meeting) and see about acquiring this fine trophy. Let me know.

Fraternally yours,

Alan Whitty
Senior Warden
                From the South

  The third Wednesday of the month will be our Annual Widow’s Dinner. We have been informed that Chicken will be the main ingredient. Dessert will also be served.
  Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m.
          From the Secretary

My Brothers,

  The Lodge is looking good on getting the dues paid, although we still have quite a few brothers that seem to want to wait until Easter to pay their dues.
  Brothers, you can be very proud of the degree work we have been doing.

Bill Brzezinski
Secretary
We hope you enjoy the Happy New Year HANDBOOK for 2010. It is posted in our office as adaily reminder.

Health:

1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like  a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees   and plants and eat less food                  manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in      2009.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk each day. Smile while you walk.

Personality

11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is about.
12. Don't allow negative thoughts. Instead, invest your energy in a positive present moment.
13. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake. Write them down. That's when a dream becomes a goal.
17. You already have all the envy you need.
18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with His/her mistakes in the past. That will ruin
your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that
appear and fade away like algebra class. The lessons you learn will, however, last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society:

25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything. Grudges are linked to diseases.
28. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 7.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.
Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

32. Do the right thing...always!
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
34. In the end, God heals everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Change is constant.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Showing up is 80% of most successes.
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake in the morning, Be thankful.
39. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
