Newly refinished floors

Master’s Message

Brethren,

I trust this correspondence finds you well, I’m happy to say that we have been extremely busy. I would like to give a shout out to all the brethren who helped with the floor refinishing project.

A special thank you to our Junior Warden, Justin Strohm, for spearheading our project.

Additionally, I would like to thank all those who helped with our charity project, The Matching Program. This project drew to a close just before our last communication, per the Grand Lodge.

Remember to put on your schedule the June picnic, charity event that Bro, Gengler has planned, and the hosting of another MoChip program. We did such a great job last time they have asked us for an encore.

Our last communication was back in our own space; We are very excited to be back in the walls of Tuscan Lodge.

The Kitchen committee will be meeting and hope to start that project next month along with the committee to work on our HVAC system.

Those who would like to be on the HVAC committee please make it known by contacting Bro. Justin Strohm or myself, we will be happy to include you.

The Grand Masters Breakfast was well attended and our lodge had a great showing, I am happy to report that we had a full table and then some.

The non-denominational service had a clear message, we should all be temperate, kind, and keep our actions in due bounds. This message is reinforced in our ritual every time we meet. I know I am preaching to the choir, we hear at Tuscan practice in and out of the lodge those morals and virtues which we strive to inculcate in our daily lives.

Lastly, I would like to congratulate our two newest Master Masons that came through the Chance To Advance class on April 27th.

It is truly an honor to serve as master of this lodge as we move into the future, remembering to stay relevant, and always cherish our traditions.

Fraternally,

RWB Andrew S. Oberman

Worshipful Master

Secretary’s Corner

It is with immeasurable pride that I share the news of Brothers Mark Fields and Agnish Chakraburtty’s successful journey to the sublime degree of Master Mason. Their unwavering dedication and pursuit of Masonic knowledge truly embody the essence of our fraternity.

In my own journey, I’ve learned that embracing the principles of Freemasonry is key to experiencing its full richness. I encourage all Brethren to seize every opportunity to delve into these principles, utilize all available resources and relish in the rights and privileges bestowed upon us as Master Masons.

I cannot stress enough the crucial role each and every one of us plays in the success of our Lodge. Our continued engagement, participation, and dedication are not merely appreciated but vital to our collective value.

To stay informed and involved, I urge you all to regularly check our Lodge’s website events calendar at tuscan360.com/events. It serves as the central hub for all important updates and upcoming events, ensuring we remain connected and informed.

As we near the culmination of this year, let us do so with unwavering confidence and enthusiasm. Together, let’s ensure that we finish strong and celebrate the achievements of our Brothers in and out of the Lodge, and always, reaffirm our commitment to the timeless principles that bind us as Freemasons.

Fraternally,

RWB William E. Archibald

Secretary
