February From the South

I would like to start off by saying that the first- degree we performed at our last meeting, was impeccable. I like to give my thanks to Bro. Gleb who did the Marshall work for the first time at Smithtown Lodge. All of his placements of the brothers in their proper places were just like we rehearsed. That’s why, it is important to get out to the rehearsals, especially if you have a speaking part or a part in the actual degree. I want to also mention that Gleb did a great job with the working tools which again was his first attempt Performing this ritual piece at Smithtown Lodge. Last but not least I would like to give special thanks to W:. Bill Montzouts on an outstanding  performance rendering the ritual work of the first degree charge! In summing up I would say the work of the evening was some of the best I’ve seen in the district in a long time. I am not trying to be biased by that statement, but if you travel as much as I do, you see a lot of strange things. Be safe, my brothers and keep up the good work.
