All of these lessons build and they all finally click (at least for me) in the Master’s chair. The importance of being honest, having commitment, fortitude, being prudent, and being fair are some of the lessons that translate into other aspects of life. I’ve been to lodges where lectures and degree work have been read from long hand. I’m told that reading lectures is becoming increasingly common. It all gets back to candidates NOT learning how to read the cypher. If they read the cypher for their lessons, then much of the degree work for the chairs and lectures have already been memorized. Learn to ready the lectures from the cypher and it is MUCH easier to memorize. I can tell you this that it is almost impossible to memorize from long hand. If reading is the best someone can do, then it is the best they can do, but that doesn’t mean that everyone should be given a pass to read. But if no one goes to Lodge, then what do you expect will happen? Change begins with ME. In closing, I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah, and a very blessed New Year. If anyone would like piping or drumming lessons, please contact me at pipingleprechaun@hotmail. Nobles setting up benches outside Anah Shrine com. Until next month, be blessed.

Needless to say they, the hors d’oeuvres that is, were rapidly consumed by all and sundry. All who attended had a great time and are looking forward to the 2017 Halloween Dance. Home Depot Children’s Workshop was attended by ninety-eight children on Saturday morning, November fifth. Boss Clown Coota (Arthur Watson) and Fou (Martin Perfit) were on hand to entertain and enlighten the crowd. Maybe ‘befuddle’ is a more apt word than ‘enlighten.’ The Feztival of Trees kept Piggy (Tom Vanchieri) fully occupied planning and overseeing security and traffic flow on the floor. A number of unit members were on hand every day of the Feztival to assist in this unglamorous but vital chore. An additional Home Depot Children’s Workshop was slipped into the pre- legacy awards from the June ceremonial holiday mix on Saturday, November 26. On hand for this event were Fou (Martin Perfit), Jappo (Mike Samiya), Wow-e (Jeff Adams), and Gizmo (Lorne Noiles). January birthday greetings go out to Scooter (Scott Boucher), Sluggah (Curtis Haynes), Busta (Dave Dennis), and Dara Perfit. ORIENTAL BAND David Spooner, President
