Brethren,

            Nature has almost completed the sleep of the Winter cycle, and we now heading into the glorious rebirth of Spring.  With it, I hope comes a rebirth and a renewal of our fine Lodge.  We, the officers, are hard at work, and, as always are looking to our members for support in our attempts to continue the fine traditions of Wooster #79.

            I mentioned in my January Master’s message that you would be receiving a letter which I wished you to give some serious thought to, as your ideas will help shape the future of Wooster Lodge.  The trestleboard mailing will be shortly followed by a mailing of this letter.  And this letter will be followed by a telephone call from one of our officers which will give you and opportunity to state your ideas.  If you do not receive a call, I ask that you please contact me so that I can hear your thoughts and concerns.  This is the first time that the membership has been polled in a number of years, and, it will be the result of these conversations, and your opinions, which determines the path that your Lodge will follow.

            This month, on March 9^th, we will be conferring the Entered apprentice Degree on Brothers Daniel Torres and Marc Ciociola, with W.B. Al Jehan rehearsing the Middle Chamber Lecture.  Also, on March 16^th we will be visiting Cosmopolitan Lodge #125, which also meets at 285 Whitney Avenue, to watch as a Brother of Wooster Lodge sees his two sons take the Entered Apprentice Degree.  Please come and join us.  Remember this is your Lodge and your support will only make it better.

                                                                                    Fraternally,

                                                                                    Alan M. Brown
