FROM COUNCIL No. 1
Companions,
We are living in interesting times. It has been five months since we came together in person to relish in Friendship and Brotherly Love. We may still be physically absent from one another, but we are still united and strong, although in a rather informal format, via electronic medium.
It is good to hear and see one another through these means but I look forward to the future when we can once again be among Brothers in person, in peace, and in harmony. Until that time arrives, be cautious, stay healthy, and do not hesitate to reach out to a Companion. We are here for you.
Sincerely,
Joseph Wallach
Illustrious Master
FROM CHAPTER No. 3
Companions,
After much deliberation within the Nomination Committee, I am hap-py to announce that our line of Officers will stay unvarying for a second term.
As shelter-in-place orders and restrictions remain in effect to this day, we are hopeful that the new year will bring us better news, that we will be able to reopen the doors of our beautiful Masonic Temple to all Brothers, Companions and Sir Knights, and to implement our plans and ideas for the good of our Chapter.
Wishing you all the gift of Faith and the blessing of Hope this Thanksgiving Day!
Be safe and enjoy the time with your loved ones.
Fraternally,
Francisco Marques
High Priest

Book of the Month
365 Level Steps
Masonic Meditations for Every Day of the Year
by Jonti Marks
This newest volume from the author of ‘Level Steps’ and ‘Hidden Depths’ is a lightly edited compilation of all four previous books of ‘Masonic Meditations.’
Here, for the first time, all 365 inspirational quotations and meditations are presented together in a form that encourages us to consider deeply what it means to be a Freemason and to contemplate the true and timeless teachings of our beloved Craft.
This volume amalgamates, with revisions, four earlier volumes that deal with Craft Freemasonry and the Royal Arch. Both degrees are included here, which enhances the effect - especially for us, members of the Royal Arch.
Each page consists of a three- or four-line quotation followed by a concise gloss or interpretation of the initial words.
It might also be useful for Chapters that want a brief meditation or two-minute talk at the start or end of a meeting.
