“Brothers, when you pass on to the Lodge on High, you will not receive Masonic Funeral Rites unless specifically requested by your loved ones. Please inform your family of your request. All too often, after the funeral, a Lodge is asked why Masonic Rites were not performed… don’t place your family or Lodge in this position.” The Masonic Digest also requires the members be in good standing!

Greetings, Brothers,Well, January is passing us by and February is soon on its way. I would like to thank all the Brothers for getting off to a great start this year. We have had a great first practice and a great first meeting. Thank you, Brothers, for all the hard work and let’s keep it going to have a wonderful year. 4Upon receiving this Trestleboard we will have already
had our first E.A. Degree and some new Brothers to teach and mold in masonry. With new Brothers comes a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of fun. Without these new Brothers our Lodges cannot grow, so let’s make them feel welcome and well, like Brothers.
4We also had our first Spaghetti Dinner of the year and I would like to thank Worshipful Andy Kip for all his hard work to make it a success. The Spaghetti Dinner for Feb. will be a Valentine Day theme so everyone bring your loved ones for some good food and fellowship. This event has become a good time for friendship and brotherhood.
4On Feb. 9th at 8:00 am we will be having a pancake breakfast followed by a M.M. Degree at 9:00 am. There will be a lot of Brothers from all over the district coming to help us with this degree and I would like to take this time to thank them for their help. It is so nice to have the support of other Lodges in times of need, which is why I beg the Brothers of Lodge 91 to get out and visit the other Lodges out there. Everyone please come out to the degree as it is very important to support these newly raised Brothers.
4Brothers, this year I am going to be trying something new by emailing the Trestleboard out to people. We are not going to stop mailing out the hard copies, but it has come to my attention that some people would prefer an email. Brother Brian Brink will be taking this on for me and we will be getting with everyone to make sure we have those that are interested their email addresses.

4Speaking of the Trestleboard, it is past time for those of you that have ads to renew if you so wish. If you do wish to continue to support the Lodge and advertise with us, get with me to pay for your renewal. Anyone who wishes to start a new add or knows someone who might, this is a very inexpensive way to advertise your business to the Brothers and helps support the Lodge.
Just a few more things I would like to go over that will be happening in the month of Feb. 4We will be having a work day at the Lodge on Feb. 2nd
from 8:00 am to around noon. We will be picking up leaves, so everyone bring your rakes and plenty of energy. I will supply donuts and orange juice for breakfast.
4On this day there will also be a child ID workshop from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm at Hunt Fountain Park off of Duff Rd in N Lakeland. This event will be held for the N Lakeland Youth Football League and about 400 kids will be there. Worshipful Matt Barwick has taken on the child ID program for this year and is asking for help. If you can and are willing to help with this great program, please contact Matt at (863) 528-1504.
4The Detroit Tigers Spring Training baseball games at Tiger Town will also be starting soon and Brothers this is a great way to earn money for our Lodge. I have a schedule for the games and times. If you would like to work a concession stand for this event please contact me with the dates and times you can attend. It’s a lot of hard work, but also some great fun.
Respectfully,
Jeff Jackson Worshipful Master, Lakeland Lodge 91
