The evening will begin with the Official Visitation of the District Deputy Grand Master, Right September 9th: District 8 Gorham-Sabatis Lodge, Gorham Worshipful Brother Ken Weyler. During visitation, the District Education Officer, Worshipful Brother Steve Welch will be doing a presentation on the Entered September 9th: District 6 Holderness Lodge, Holderness Apprentice Degree. Once the DDGM has left with his suite, we will begin with Our business. Among other things, we will be voting on 2 Investigation Committee September 16th: District 4 Eureka Blazing Star, Concord reports as well as the By-Laws which are attached to this month’s Trestle Board. All of your feedback is welcomed and necessary for these important topics.

He will also be presenting a few other very special and surprise awards to some very unsuspecting Brethren. I look forward to seeing the look of shock and awe September 30th: District 7 Meridian Lodge, W. Franklin on these Brothers’ faces when they receive these prestigious awards and I hope to see many of you there that evening as well. September 30th: District 5 Winnipesaukee Lodge, Alton August 16th, we will be passing 3 Brothers to the degree of Fellow Craft. Personally, this is my favorite degree. There is a lot of Masonic Education in this degree and every time I see it I get something new out of it. 3 months ago at the last Fellow Craft Degree, Our Senior Deacon, Bother Jason DeStasio delivered a flawless Middle- Chamber Lecture. A feat I don’t think many of us can claim. And as the District Deputy Grand Lecturer, I was able to present Brother DeStasio with a special pin recognizing this achievement. I hope to see many Brethren on the sidelines as he looks to perform the same accomplishment. And lastly, it has been brought to my attention that we have been putting added stress on Our Chef, Worshipful Brother Phil Fraiser. And because of that I am asking you all to begin making reservations with Our Junior Warden Brother Gregg Annis, PREFERABLY through his email ([email protected]) or leaving him a message on his phone at (603) 365-6385. We will be working on a more permanent solution to make RSVP’s through in the coming weeks.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.
