Master's Message: Brethren Of Naphtali Lodge # 25 A.F. & A.M.
Greetings:


For all that may be unaware, I am WB Tim Jakuboski, and have been elected to be Master of this Lodge and lead this great body of men for the ensuing year.  It is truly a great honor for me to have been entrusted with the care of this historic lodge.  It is especially important to me, personally, because I was raised in this lodge as a courtesy degree for my home Lodge in Wentzville.  It was such a profound and moving experience for me, that I joined as a dual member almost immediately thereafter.  I was so impressed, and just in awe of the history in the New Temple, that you can just feel it, when you walk the halls, and see the historical artifacts throughout the building.  This leads me to my agenda for the year.  I am going to make every effort to increase attendance at our meetings. I want to invite other lodges to visit, and push hard for new members to join.  I plan on doing this by visiting other lodges and personally inviting them to attend.  I also intend to use emails and social networking to bring lodges together, and create a forum where any Brother can go to ONE site to find out what ANY Lodge is doing on any given day.  I know that I cannot do this alone.  This will require the cooperation of each and every Lodge to actively participate, and if they do not, then it will not come to fruition.  I am confident because I am supported by an incredible group of Officers who are as committed as I am to make this a great year for Naphtali Lodge #25.

Naphtali November 2012 Trestleboard


Master's Message:

Brethren-the work in the Lodge continues.  At our next meeting on Thursday December 20th we will have a Third Degree of Brother Bret Nelson.  Our meeting begins with dinner at 6:30pm, with Lodge opening at 7pm.  We can always use your attendance and help in Lodge.  We welcome two new members to Naphtali.  Brother Bryan Evans transferred his membership from the Four Lakes Daylight Lodge #362 of the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin and Brother Jim Ditter from Troy Lodge #34.
We have at least two Brothers on the mend that we know of.  Right Worshipful Ken Burch, our immediate Past Master continues to improve and looks forward to returning to his work and the Lodge soon. Worshipful Brother John Vollman and his family were in a car accident recently and Brother John and his family continue to heal.  Our Marshall, Brother Brian Newton informed us that his son, Aaron has been deployed to Afghanistan.  Please keep these Brethren and their families in your prayers.  If you or a Brother you know of needs a visit from the Lodge, please let us know.

As we begin our holiday season, let us give thanks for the many mercies and blessings which the good Lord has conferred on each of us.  If you are traveling, we wish you traveling mercies.  Hopefully each of you will be with your family for the holidays.  Your Masonic family is always happy to welcome you and greet you in Lodge, come see us.  If this isn’t possible, a note to the Lodge as to what is going on in your life would be appreciated.

WB Bill Stone
