Waterloo Lodge No. 539 saw next year’s officers initiate Brother Mark Diebold into Masonry during the annual step-up night at their regular meeting, during which RW Brother Brian Lowery presented the new brother with a GL pin. At the lodge’s emergent meeting, two brethren – Alastair Duncan and David Bender – were raised to the third degree. As well, the lodge visited Concord Lodge who assisted with Waterloo’s backlog of degree work by passing Brother Sean Rutherford to the 2nd degree in fine form. The trestleboard reported 4 awaiting EA, 5 awaiting FC, and 3 awaiting MM.

The Concordia Club will play host to the 2012 Waterloo District reception for our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother D. Garry Dowling and his wife Wendy on Friday March 2nd, 2012. This bi-annual event is a highlight for the District, affording us the opportunity to meet our Grand Master in a semi-formal social setting and to enjoy the company of many visiting Brethren and their partners from throughout the province.

We will enjoy the finest local German cuisine and hospitality. We will also have the opportunity to hear a few words from our Grand Master along with the evening’s entertainment. There is also an opportunity for the Worshipful Masters of Waterloo district from the past two years as well as any new Masons who have been initiated during that time to meet one on one with the Grand Master.

As your District Blood Chairman, I would like to express my gratitude to the Brethen of Waterloo District for your continuing support for Blood Donations. Currently we are at 61 donations and well on our way to this year’s target of 201 blood donations through the Partners For Life (PFL) program. The need for blood is a constant one and becomes more so as we head into the holiday season. You may not be able to assist directly by rolling up your sleeve, but by spreadin the word about our upcoming District clinics to your family, friends, neighbours and co-workers you can still play a lifesaving role. Our next Clinic is this Saturday December 3rd from 9-1 at Heritage College & Seminary on Holiday Inn Drive in Cambridge and every donation has the potential to save 3 lives. Call 1-888-236-6283 to book your time, let’s fill the chairs with Masons, their family and friends and together we can give the gift of life. From me and my family please accept our best wishes for a safe and happy Holiday Season!
