February From the Secretary’s desk

My Brethren,

Hope you’re first month of 2025 has treated you well!  As I learn the ropes of my new role as Secretary, you will observe that the 2025 dues were a bit tardy in getting mailed out.  At this point, all Brothers should have received your dues notices.  We have made them payable by QR code, which is on the notice itself.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

In addition, we have begun to have informal Past Master’s Meetings on the 2nd Monday of every month.  The next one will be February 10th, 2025 at 6:30pm with an officers rehearsal immediately following.  All Past Masters and Line Officers are encouraged to attend the meetings moving forward.

Finally, as Secretary, I am working on putting together new protocols and SOP’s for the lodge around various topics such as candidate interaction, officer duties and responsibilities, etc.  These are not meant to be the work of an individual member and should have input from all Brothers interested in doing so.  So if you have any ideas on how to improve our Lodge, please reach out.  Once drafts of each topic are available, I will share with the lodge for comment and feedback.

Fraternal Regards,

W:. Scott K. Parry

Secretary, Smithtown Lodge No. 1127
