O.E.S. #8 Luncheon Guoyos in Miami September 10th 12:00 pm
From Public Schools Committee Brethren, I would like to thank all the Brothers who generously donated bicycles last month for the "Bikes for Books" program. Through your generosity, we will be able to buy 4 bikes for High Desert Middle School and 4 bikes for Lee Kornegy in Miami. We may be a bike or so short so donations are still accepted. We have been giving High Desert MS three $25 Walmart gift certificates for an attendance award and Steve Doerkson, the principal, is hoping that we will continue it again this year because it helps with motivation to keep the kids in school for at least the 1st 100 days when the school funding is calculated for the schools. Anyone wishing to donate a gift certificate please see the Secretary or me. The bikes will be displayed in the schools during the program with the Lodge's name as the benefactor. Thanks again. Bill Greenen, Public Schools Chairman

Something to Think About The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more
problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too
much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too
angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too
much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced
our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. |
In the Great Light of Masonry, in the book of Ruth, there is a passage that refers to the rite of Discalceation; the plucking off of one's shoe: "Now this was the
manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning
changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave
it to his neighbor; and this was a testimony in Israel." Ruth 4:7 KJV |
