From the East,

Wow, a year has passed, and it is now my time to pass the East off to a new Masters fraternal care.  Care it will be as all the officers in the line are more than capable of moving to the East.  We have been extremely fortunate to have had such talented brothers occupying the chairs in our Lodge.  It seems that it will continue for years to come!

No well regulated Lodge, can function without the support of its officers.  To this end, many thanks are needed.  Until one sits in the East, the function of the Chaplin seems to be a prayer or two during meetings and degree work.  The Chaplin is the number two officer when opening and closing the Lodge.  He is a second pair of eyes, a protocol officer and in the case of RW Joe Mandel, a master of Vantriliquism.

Let us not forget, or minimize the role of the Secretary and Treasurer, without these two Brothers providing the continuity and Masonic expertise they posses from year to year, Harry S Truman would not be the Lodge it is today. 

Special thanks to the Past Masters of HST that took the time to straighten crooked things, that gentle whisper  in the ear and the all to familiar PERHAPS you should________.

As to the officers, I cannot say enough for the many phone calls, and willingness to learn the work, provide constructive comments and watch my back!  Thank you all, and from the East CCC ccc CCC.

I also challenge the many brothers and Past Masters of Harry S Truman that I have not met, or due to business and family found your cable tow short.  Why not make an effort to visit YOUR Lodge at least twice this year. Pick an event and plan to attend, your presence will be greatly appreciated, especially for degree work.

We raised three Brothers last meeting, who will prove to be the building blocks of Trumans future.  A special thanks to Bro. Sanford Gottesman who assumed the role of Degree Master.  In attendance for the degree was a W Dana Wildes, District Awareness Officer of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Bro. Johannas Gerardas Govers, La Perseverance Lodge No. 11, Maastricht, Netherlands, W David Senft, Spartan 956, (who assisted us with the Drama).  It was interesting to discuss the  differences our traveling Brothers found not only in the Degree work, but also the open and closing.

Fraternally,
W Tony Pecorella

By now all who have not yet paid their dues have received a Second Notice. If you received one, please submit immediately. Dues are payable by Nov. of each year, and the Lodge cannot operate without the complete cooperation of all members.

LTOR: Bro. Sandford Gottesman, Bro. Eitan Lolai,  Bro. Patrick J. Bahnken,
             Bro. Michael J. O'Shaunaessy, W Anthony Pecorella

  Wow the summer is near.  I wanted to remind you about the Lodge Picnic on August 09.  Our Picnic is for your families and ours to meet and enjoy a day together!

  For those of you who have not attended in the past, the site of the Picnic is at Kolping on Hudson.  There is a large area with easy access to the facilities, food, libations etc. that are covered with a tent, affording vistas of the Hudson, and cool breezes and shade.

  To our returning Brothers and guest, what more can I say!  You are the reason this event has been so successful.  If you have a special desert that you would like to bring along, we will save room.  This is a Lodge event, our event, and you should feel free to contribute to the ongoing success of this Picnic. 
Contact chairman Bro Frank for your ideas, contributions and duties.

  Let us not forget the large swimming pool, horse shoes, kids games, a large grass covered are for the kids and grandchildren to play.

  Our children's entertainment committee has been working hard to ensure an eventful day for the kids. 

Arrangements have been made for a child ID program. www.nychps.org
