Greetings Brethren,


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, spent with friends and family. As we all look to this upcoming holiday season, please remember those who are in need and consider donating to the local food banks. They provide such a worthwhile and important service to the community and can use all the help they can get in these trying times.


This November was yet another busy month for the brothers of St. Alban’s. At our regular communication, Brothers Roger Belmore, Barry Fontaine, Jr., and Jason Flick received the completion of the Third Section of their Master Mason degree. The 3rd Section was presented by W. Jeremy Newton, the WM of Harmony Lodge #9. His presentation was a treat to behold. Our newest Master Masons were given an excellent lecture. Our sincerest appreciation to WB Newton for his assistance that night. Brother Abdala Soufan also received his 3rd section at a degree presented by Morning Star Lodge #13.


We also welcomed our newest Brother, Randy Martinez, who received his Entered Apprentice degree during a special communication at Washington Lodge. A special thank you to our Washington Lodge brothers for allowing St. Alban’s to participate in their degree.



Fraternally,

Robert N. Hopkins Jr.




From the secretary

Brethren,


Our annual holiday party is around the corner. Please get your reservations in to me either via email, text or via our website as soon as possible.


Also, if you happen to wander into the kitchen, I have been working hard on getting things cleaned up for an upcoming renovation. Please do your best to maintain it for the upcoming holiday party.



Fraternally,

Danny Cordeiro

Acting Secretary
