January 2025 From the East

Brethren,

Happy New Year to each of you! As we begin this new year, it’s a time for fresh beginnings, new opportunities, and renewed dedication to the values that make our Lodge strong. I hope you all had a restful holiday season and are ready to embark on another successful year together.

Looking ahead, January is an important month for our Lodge.We’ll kick off the year with a Masonic education session on January 8th, where our own Stu Smith will lead a school of instruction centered on the first degree. I ask that all members attend and participate in what promises to be an enlightening evening.

This couldn’t be more timely as for our second meeting (January 22nd), we will be conducting a First Degree with the addition of three new brothers to the Craft. Let’s all make an effort to show the new Brothers what Freemasonry, and more specifically, What Smithtown Masonry is all about. With that being said, I would like to see all involved officers and Brothers on January 13th and 20th ( both Monday evenings) for rehearsals.

Wishing you all a productive and fulfilling January, and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming meetings and events. Together, let’s make this year one of meaningful progress and fellowship.

Fraternally,
W:. William Hanson
Worshipful Master
