Greetings Brothers,
The weather may have stopped some but the walk-a-thon at OES CAMPUS was fun, we had thirty three walkers even children as young as eight complete the walk-a-thon. Chicken B-B-Q was a winner .
My Seventh Wedding anniversary was October 13th so I wasn't at Lodge - the Commander-In Chief even gave his permission. That was just a joke.
May the great Architect bless us all.
Fraternally,

Greetings Brethren,
The cast for the 15th Degree is set with all the line Officers taking a part in it and with the help of a few other Brothers we will be set for the November 17th presentation with a practice the week before. This is the first Degree I have had the pleasure to oversee, so much thanks to the Brothers taking a part, Jim Swan, the office and immediate past Sovereign Prince Dave Barnello for all their assistance.
Council of Princes of Jerusalem Officers should wear tuxedos for this degree, as we will be presiding over the meeting’s opening and closing and should spruce up on our duties.
Stay safe and healthy my Brothers.

Greetings from the Officers and members of the Lodge of Perfection.
In October we kicked off the degree season by conferring the 4th and 5th Degrees. In November we look forward to honoring our Veterans at our annual Veterans’ celebration where we will have a very special program and later in the month we will be conferring the 15th Degree.
November marks our national celebration of Thanksgiving, in that vein, I am thankful for my Brothers, old and young. They have given me inspiration, lifted me up, supported me and whispered words of wise counsel. But beyond what I have received, what I am most thankful for is the spirit of charity and brotherly love that we all share. It is that spirit when we, as brothers, reach out and help a brother, or group, or community who is in need.
So during this season of Thanksgiving let us remember our Brothers, their widows and orphans.
Fraternally,

Greetings Brethren,
For any member who was unable to attend the Annual Recognition & Awards Banquet on September 22nd, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for having been selected to receive the Dedicated Service Award.
I am happy to report that the residents in the Health Pavilion at The Masonic Care Community were all doing well as of our last visit. The Staff has begun decorating the “Neighborhoods” in the changing Fall Colors. I am told these decorations are purchased by the Staff. This is a fine example of the extra care and feeling they have for the residents.
Please keep me informed of any Brother in need of our aid or sympathy, or a close family member. Feel free to contact me at 315-837-4962 or email me at [email protected]

Thank You
We were deeply saddened by the recent passing of my father Robert F. Tyrrell. It was very heartwarming to see the support from our Masonic family and friends.
Perhaps you came to call or sent a card, sent flowers, made a gracious donation to charity, or verbally extended your sympathy. It was very much appreciated and we thank all of you very much from the bottom of our hearts.
God Bless you all.

Happy Thanksgiving

The office staff, Sharon Fox, Sharon Swan, Jim Swan and Mike Gates, wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone.
