 <title>Grand Master&#039;s Thanksgiving Day Message to the Craft</title>
 <link>http://bbs.nymasons.org/cms/node/509</link>
 <description>&lt;h1&gt;Grand Master&#039;s Thanksgiving Day Message to the Craft&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;November 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To all of our Brethren, Family and Friends,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have so much for which to be thankful as we celebrate this special Thanksgiving Day 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Babe and me, we have been on such an exciting journey this year … thanks in great measure to you for entrusting in me the leadership of this great Grand Jurisdiction. As we contemplated this message in advance of one of our most meaningful family holidays, I could not help but think again about Thanksgiving’s relevance to our basic theme for this year … “Getting back to basics” and how important it is for each of us to involve ourselves with family at every opportunity afforded to us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Veteran&#039;s Day Message from our Grand Master&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
My Dear Brothers:
 
It has been said, and it is so true, that a VETERAN is someone who, at one point in his 
life, wrote a blank check made payable to &#039;The United States of America&#039; for an 
amount of &#039;up to and including my life&#039;.
 
That is Honor!
 
    That is Courage!
 
That is Patriotism!
 
    That is Personal Sacrifice!
 
Unfortunately, there are too many people in this country who no longer understand 
this. There are far too many folks who simply do not get it!
 
I am proud to say that Masons understand this. Masons get it! And Masons will never

 <title>Looking for a Lodge in Need of a New Altar</title>

 <description>&lt;div style=&quot;width: 150px&quot; class=&quot;image-attach-teaser&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/cms/node/486&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bbs.nymasons.org/cms/files/images/Norwich_altar.thumbnail.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Norwich Altar&quot; title=&quot;Norwich Altar&quot;  class=&quot;image thumbnail&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;120&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Oxford Lodge No. 175 consolidated with Norwich Lodge No. 302 in May of 2005 several items were placed in storage. We are currently looking for a new home for the altar from Norwich Lodge No. 302. The attached photo shows that it is very good condition. Any Lodge looking for a replacement for their current altar should contact Master Lou DeMott at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:lfdemott@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;lfdemott@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt; or call him 607-334-4246.&lt;/p&gt;
