It is a time filled A Different Christmas Poem with happiness for many of us. Perhaps this year, we can all stop for a "It's Great to be a Freemason by Bro. Danny moment and think of those who may be experiencing sadness during this Thomas season: our Brothers with families who may be struggling through difficult Lodge Services times; a widow spending her first holiday alone; a family with a son or From the Grand Lecturer daughter serving overseas. Let’s take time to remember these people in Grand Lodge Calendar our prayers and in our plans this year, and see if our happiness can lighten Committee Chairmen their cares, even for a few moments. This, my Brothers, is what Masons Brotherhood Fund do.

Bidnick In the News Grand Master Page 2 Decemberr 2006 Written for and published in the Buffalo News Dec 8, 2006 Another voice / Historic organization Masons, other groups focus on community service By ED GILBERT It was 225 years ago that Freemasonry, upon receipt of a charter from England, became an official organization in what would become New York State. The Masons had already existed in parts of Europe, with Masonic Lodges dating back centuries. To mark this historic milestone, the New York Masons played host to interfaith prayer services and made flag donations to various civic groups in October. With thousands of non-Masons and Masons alike participating in these ceremonies, it hardly amounted to the sinister stuff that conspiracy theorists everywhere - most recently, Dan Brown in "The DaVinci Code" - would have you believe about Freemasonry. Yes, there are still centuries-old Masonic traditions handed down through generations, sometimes via entire family trees. This includes the "secret handshakes" and ornate aprons that the Masons are probably best known for. But Freemasonry is about more than rituals, and is definitely not about conquering the world, etc., as someone who's Googled the Masons might be led to believe. The core of this organization's tenets has always been about giving back to the community. This is true of the Masons and of many other fraternal groups or service organizations, including the Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis and the Elks, many of which are, in some way, offshoots of Freemasonry. In fact, the Shriners, who are best known for the Shriners Hospitals for Children, which offer specialized pediatric medical care at no charge, are also Masons. Actually, one has to be a Mason in order to be a Shriner. Here in New York, the Masons run the Child Identification Program (CHIP), which provides parents with photo ID cards and other essential law enforcement tools should their child go missing. More than 275,000 children have participated in CHIP since the program was founded in 1991; the recent CHIP event at the Erie County Fair registered about 1,700 kids. These are just a few examples of the good that fraternal and service organizations do: ensuring access to health care for our most vulnerable citizens; giving parents resources to help protect children; supporting medical research; and even organizing blood drives and food drives. Groups like the Masons continue to play a relevant, integral role in their communities decades and even centuries after they were first founded. We invite you to find out more about what the Masons do, either by visiting your local Masonic Lodge, by going to nymasons.org or by simply asking a Mason. There are 53,000 of us statewide, so we shouldn't be hard to find. Upon talking to a Mason, you may come to realize that all we are is a group of folks who want to do good by the community, and as a result some of that Masonic mystique may fade away. But really, that's the point. Page 3 Decemberr 2006 Welcome to NETNEWS! For those of you who are new to this publication, we hope you enjoy what you see and come back.

  • Discover Freemasonry in Suffolk INTEGRITY FRIENDSHIP RESPECT CHARITY What Are Your Guiding Principles?
    Discover Freemasonry in Suffolk INTEGRITY FRIENDSHIP RESPECT CHARITY What are your guiding principles? Freemasons use four important guiding principles to help define their path through life: integrity, friendship, respect and charity. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles ring as true as they have at any point in the organisation’s history. One of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles. “I was encouraged into Freemasonry by my neighbour having been kindly invited to his Ladies’ Night. I loved the formality, traditions and warmth of friendship. Unlike many, I have no known family members as Freemasons, but as you would expect, immediately welcomed in to the fraternal arms of Freemasonry.” DORIC LODGE, WOODBRIDGE 2 Membership is open to people from all backgrounds and the organisation’s aim is to empower members to be the best they can be – it’s about building character, supporting members as individuals, and helping them make a positive contribution to society. “Freemasonry provides a unique environment for people from all backgrounds to learn skills, form lasting friendships, achieve their potential and above all, have FUN.” PHOENIX LODGE, STOWMARKET Freemasonry provides a structure for members to come together under these common goals, enabling people to make new friendships, develop themselves and make valuable contributions to charitable causes. 3 INTEGRITY: Building good people Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.

  • Lockdown Edition
    The Suffolk Freemasons Magazine May 2020 FORUM Lockdown Edition... Dear All, Extraordinary times? Well I think we all agree that this is the mother of them all. The resilience of one and all is remarkable and the guidelines have thus far been followed. I am typing this message on VE day having just been reminded of how those before us coped to allow us many of the privileges that we benefit from today. Within this electronic edition of Forum my focus is of course on Freemasonry and our brethren and families. We have seen many outstanding acts of kindness given by so many of our Brethren to so many causes as well as the people around them and your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated. Trying to keep ourselves together as Lodges could become another challenge for us to consider, but after my first health check of our Lodges, I cannot believe for one moment that this may present a problem now, or at any time in the future. The Zoom meetings that are already taking place probably means that none of our Lodges will not have missed more than one gathering each. Visual contact adds a great deal to these meetings and whilst individuals are sharing regular phone calls, it means we can stay in touch, update and inform, and most importantly, share a smile. I strongly believe that not having our meeting of the Province on May 29th and congratulating those Brethren who have worked so hard for their pending honours, would be a travesty, so I plan to hold a virtual meeting on Zoom for all the brethren who are to be recognised for their achievements on that very day.
