"To the target and beyond" for the 2012 Festival
Warwickshire Brethren are asked to put Saturday
31 January 2009 in their diaries now. That is the day when W Bro David Macey,
the Festival Director, will talk of new things in relation to the 2012 Festival
for the Masonic Samaritan Fund and it is important that all Lodges are
represented. The RW Provincial Grand Master has expressed his wish that at
least two members of each Lodge in the Province will be present on that
occasion. The presentation, at 2 Stirling Road, Edgbaston, is expected to start
at 10.30am and finish no later than 1.00pm. Lodges will receive further details
shortly.
Charity comes of
age As the Masonic Samaritan Fund enters its 18th year the decision has
been taken to remove 'New' and revert to the legal title of Masonic Samaritan
Fund with this redesigned logo.
A Festival Jewel is now available for all Warwickshire Brethren. It
costs £15 or £15.50 if you wish to have it posted to you. There is
a qualification. You must complete an application form confirming that you have
pledged £100 or more to the Festival. With the kind permission of the
Provincial Grand Master and the Grand Superintendent the jewel may be worn at
all meetings of the Craft and the Royal Arch but only in the Province of
Warwickshire. It may not be worn at the Festive Board.
The Festival
Director, David Macey, will be writing shortly to Masters of Lodges in the
Province and will send a supply of application forms. Arrangements are also in
place for Royal Arch Chapters to be similarly informed. It is anticipated that
all Warwickshire Brethren and Companions will wish to buy and wear this very
well designed and attractive jewel.
