Woohoo. Got permission from the W.M. to do a Christmas Card for Widows this year. Now I just need to try and figure out how to get a list of widows, and what to put in the cards.
"This is a small token to remind you of your ties to us and to the Masonic Fraternity , and to let you know that you will always find friends amoung us who will always be here to assist you if ever you are in need . And we would also like to wish you glad tidings and best wishes at this joyous time of year " Merry Christmas , The officers and members of Your lodge here Maybe you can use this .
as for finding , bring it up at your next stated communication and maybe the brothers can aid you in gathering up a list of names and addresses . Many may know the widows already .
Thank you. A notice will go out in the Trestleboard, and something will be mentioned at the next stated meeting. W.M. is also going to bring up the issue of a Christmas Party too. <does the happy dance>
This is a great idea. I am sure the widows will appreciate knowing that an important part of their beloved still lives in his mason brothers.
What does everyone think of this card I went through vista print as I can customize them. I also found a Masonic Slipper Pin and may buy a bunch to put in the cards. I ordered a few to see how they look before buying a whole bunch. If anyone has some other ideas for cards, please let me know.
