‘A-P goes for the gold’

RALLYING AROUND TREVOR – Several Atlas-Pythagoras brethren flock to the side of W. Trevor Stewart at a recent visit. Rear, from left: Mike, Moises and Mohammad. Front: Pedro, Trevor and the inimitable Thurman Pace.

Atlas-Pythagoras Lodge No. 10 in Westfield, New Jersey is exploring the benefits of adding formal educational programs to its meetings. W. John Braun, the new Master has planned interesting lectures for the coming year with the encouragement of his officers. I’m told the new Senior Warden aims to continue the effort in 2010. A-P already is one of the strongest lodges in that part of the state, and with this new emphasis on education, things can only get better. (The Magpie Mason thinks he committed to a date, but can’t remember.)

On Friday, Feb. 6, Bro. Yasser Al-Khatib, Senior Warden of Fritz Lodge No. 308 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania will speak on the history and mystery of the Order of the Golden Fleece. This meeting will be open to Apprentices and Fellows. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. and the Communication starts at 7.30. Call the lodge at (908) 233-7349 to make your dinner reservations.
