MW Bro Dan Olmsted - December 2020 [PDF]

	"Dispensing Light through Happiness”
	December was the first month of the winter season and the tenth month of the year a century before the birth of Christ. When Julius Caesar reformed the calendar and added January and February, making December the twelfth month, its name did not change.

 Brethren:
The year 2020 has almost come to an end and 2021 is just around the corner. I encourage brethren to consider
donations to one or more of our charities, some of which are tax deductible.

The Freemasonry & Youth Endowment Fund established in 1955
Donations can be directed to the Youth Leadership Camp, the Order of DeMolay, Job’s Daughters or the Masonic
Youth trust fund. These funds provide assistance and support to our youth programs and scholarships. Remember,
“the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow .” Donations to this fund are eligible for a charity tax receipt.

MW Bro. Dan Olmsted - July 2020 Musings

 MW Bro Dan Olmsted - July 2020 [PDF]

July is the seventh month of the year and the second month of summer. It was named in honour of Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth. “Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to help make others so.” Robert Ingersoll

 Summer is here and I hope you and your families are safe and enjoying time at the lake, camping or whatever the summer brings to you. This has been a year like no other but we will soldier on, adjust and make the best of it. This temporary slowdown gives you an opportunity to reflect on yourself, and also gives us as a fraternity an opportunity to work on objectives that we have not been able to implement because of the usual Masonic time constraints.
