Brethren,

As our calendar year comes to a close, the administrative work of 2025 is starting to ramp up.  As I prepare to send out dues notices amongst other activities, please reach out to update addresses, preferred email addresses, or phone numbers.

In addition, as it has been several years since we reviewed our bylaws, please consider reviewing the most recent copy and put forth any changes that you think would benefit the Lodge.  In conjunction with the Worshipful Master, officers and trustees, amendments as needed should be implemented in the next calendar year.

Finally Brethren, as of the time of this writing, the Lodge has 82 Master Masons.  This is down nearly 20% in a very short time.  While I do not think we should be trying to build a line at the West Gate haphazardly, we all likely know good men in our social or civic circles that would only benefit from our beloved Craft.  Keep this in mind as we move forward.

Fraternal Regards,

W:. Scott K. Parry

Secretary – Smithtown Lodge No. 1127
