Thought for the Day In the noisy clamor of the world our wise Masonry
does not strive and cry aloud, indulging in agitations and the making of programs. It works in quieter, gentler ways, teaching men the religion of the brotherly life, knowing that by as much as the world fill up with men of “the larger heart and the kindlier hand,” by so much will our dreams of a juster, gentler, happier world come true, and the final hope of the Kingdom of God on earth be fulfilled. Slowly the Temple rises, builded by the love of many hearts and the loyalty of many workers: and at last it will be completed and dedicated.
Joseph Fort Newton

smiled. He gazed on doctors kind and wise, Restoring sight to little eyes. He was health start to grow again On faces that were white with pain. A brave boy stepped across the floor Who had never walked before. In haunts of misery and strife He saw the dawn of happier life. “But few of these,” they said “would

Dear Brothers:
The summer is rapidly going by. It will not be long until it is harvest time and that means frost will soon be here. That’s a comforting thought on these warm humid days.
Saline Lodge will not be doing anymore work during the summer months. We will begin anew, refreshed in September.
It appears that we have a transfer coming in to the Lodge soon. He came for a visit and was so impressed with the reception and warm welcome that he received that he decided that he wanted to be a part of our Lodge. Isn’t it great that we are setting an example to be emulated by others.
We should have plenty of work to do this fall as it appears that we are going to be having 5 or 6 new petitions coming in that we will need to act upon.
Have a great remainder of the summer. Looking forward to seeing each of you up to Lodge for the Regular on Tuesday, September 1st.
In the mean time, have fun and stay well.
Sincerely, Thomas Hyatt Worshipful Master

Greetings Brothers:
DO YOU “JUST BELONG”?

Dou you ever go and visit A member that is sick Or leave the work to a few And talk about the clique? Think this over, member, You know right from wrong Are you an active member Or do you “JUST BELONG”?

1st THURSDAY OF THE MONTH, 7:00pm
Greetings, Brethren and Friends, Golden Rule will have a Regular
Communication this summer, on Thursday, August 6 at 7:00 PM at the Ann Arbor Masonic Temple. Two of our Entered Apprentices are slated to give their EA proficiencies, so please try to attend and show support for these young Masons.
The August Regular may be the last Masonic meeting to be held at the Ann Arbor Temple, since the Temple may soon be sold. Pending approval by the Grand Master, we are planning to hold our Regular Communications at the Zal Gaz Grotto on West Stadium Blvd., beginning in September. Stay tuned for further details.
Brother, if you’ve not been active in Lodge recently, now is the time to step forward and help the Lodge get through these challenging times. Decisions must be made regarding the move out of the Temple. We need to assess the needs of the Lodge as we move forward and make suitable disposition of property that is no longer needed. Your input is earnestly solicited in this process.
On Thursday, August 20, running from 6 PM to 11 PM, Golden Rule will hold the annual “Stag Party,” for all Masons and their friends who might be interested in Masonry. It will be held at the picnic shelter at the Temple. Food and refreshments will be provided. The cost is $15.00, reservations are required. Contact Brother Jim Lakin for information, 248-520-2666. Please join us for an evening of fellowship and fun! Fraternal regards, Bill Krebaum, W.M. Trestle board items: Aug 6 Regular Communication

Word is out that Milan was fortunate to have three new Entered Apprentices last month.
This is a good sign of their continued growth and prosperity to again being the strongest little Lodge in the State.
It is hoped that they will take better advantage of the Masonic News in getting the message out to their Brothers and the other Brothers around the area so that they can have an even larger turnout and better support for these new Brothers.

Greetings from Ypsilanti OES East: I hope you are having a very
pleasant summer. Please remember we are open for business meetings and activities. Those of you who are snow-birds are always welcome to join us. I hope to see many of you at our “indoor picnic” on July 27th at 6:30pm. This is a great opportunity to get together with family and friends. Please bring a dish to pass. Meat and beverages are being furnished. We voted to donate to the Charity Golf outing by sponsoring one golf hole perhaps the 19th hole. It will benefit Abuse Centers, which is one our Worthy Grand Matron’s charities.
The August business meeting is Monday, the 10th. We are finalizing the plan for the reception honoring Donna Hughes, Grand Martha and Mary Grace Gordon, Grand Committee Person, Sept. 16th. There is one month whose table needs to be decorated.
On August 24th we will have an initiation and practice. Please plan to be there. Dues notices are being sent out now. These are due by October 1st. If you still need to pay 2008-2009 dues please call to let us know if you have a problem or need help. Also we need a full set of officers for next year. We need both line officers and floor officers. Please step up and join in and let us know of someone who maybe interested. Without the local newspaper it is difficult to know who has lost a loved one, or who is sick. If you know of anyone please let Marge Hyatt, Donna Hughes, or me know. I’m wishing fraternal love to anyone in sorrow or ill health at this time. God be with you, Pearl Gale, WM.

Speaking of work; do you know what is taking place this month? Grand Session that’s what!! Flint Michigan, here we come! Keeping with fellowship, camaraderie, and teamwork, we are once again holding a Joint York Rite Session. What a beautiful thing. Brethren that dwell (read work) together in unity! Those who best can work, or best agree and all that…
We look forward to sitting “in Lodge” with all of you back in Ann Arbor soon! To those in sickness or distress, please know we are thinking & praying for you.

High Priest Address
Greetings Friends & Companions, I hope everyone is enjoying a
blessed summer! This weather has been about as temperate as we could wish. Warm temps, cool breezes, a little rain here and there, and not very many mosquitoes!
We are all feeling the effects of the economic downturn but I hope we have been, and can continue to, be able to bear it. This reminds me of a childhood lesson on money: “mind the pennies, and the dollars will mind themselves.” While there are only so many ways to pinch pennies, being frugal is still very important!
As you are aware, the York Rite is returning to Ann Arbor! Each of the Grand Bodies have accepted our petition to meet at the Calvary United Methodist Church located at 1415
Miller Ave Ann Arbor, MI 48103-3797 (at Newport Road & aprox. 4 blocks west of Seventh.) Our long standing Commandery members will recognize this as our temporary home during the construction of the current Masonic Temple on Liberty Rd.
I have been in contact with a prospective new member for our Chapter. He belongs to Ann Arbor Fraternity & knows several of our members. He has done quite a bit of research on his own trying to learn about the York Rite. He already has a petition in hand and is looking forward to getting a couple of signatures & joining our ranks!
Dust off your ritual books, we have work to do! Before he can sit in Chapter with us, we need to confer the several degrees of Mark, Past, and Most Excellent Master upon him. Please take a part, even if it’s your first time. There is a lot to do, but none of it is too

3rd MONDAY of the Month

Companions and Friends:
CHOICES One’s philosophy Is best expressed Not in words,
But in the choices One makes
In daily living. Eleanor Roosevelt
George Lucero has made his choice to improve himself in his Masonic knowledge and understanding. Hopefully, he will have completed his Select Masters Degree in the Council on Monday, July 20th and will be anxiously awaiting, wondering about the next Degree, the final and climatic Degree in the Council – The Super Excellent Masters’ Degree.
The dates have been set for this. Thursday, September 17th we will be having our rehearsal for the Super Excellent Masters’ Degree and on Thursday, September 24th we will be conferring the Degree. Both will be done at the Ypsilanti Masonic Temple.
We will be meeting for all of our Regular Assemblies and most of our Royal & Select Degrees at the new meeting place the Calvary United Methodist Church on Miller Ave. in Ann Arbor, however, the location is not large enough for us to confer the Super Excellent Masters Degree in full form therefore we will be working with Ypsilanti for this final and climatic Degree.
Grand Council will be meeting in Flint on August 6th.
Someone once told me that everything slows down in Masonry during the summer. Not sure who it was that told me that, but I think I should discuss with them exactly what it is that they meant.
Hope this letter has found each of you in the very best of health and happiness. May the remainder of your summer be one of ease and peace.
Looking forward to seeing you in our journeys through life and through
Masonry.

3rd MONDAY of the Month
7:00 PM
Greetings Sir Knights and Ladies!
Coming soon to your local Commandery is the big event of the year for the Grand Commandery of Michigan. The Annual Commandery Inspections of each of the Commanderys. Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti will both have there’s in Ypsilanti on Saturday, August 22nd. Ann Arbor’s will begin at 9:00 AM and then lunch will be served at 12:30. Contact Art Davidge, Recorder to make your lunch reservations. Only $8.00 per person.
Ypsilanti’s Inspection will begin after the luncheon and then deserts will be served after there Inspection.
It may seem like it is going to be a long day, however, it will be broken up with food and fellowship.
Each of the Commandery’s is fortunate that they will have a candidate for the Order. One of their own new Knights to be Knighted. Much better than using a Pro-tem candidate.
We will be holding joint practices for the Orders on the last two Thursdays of July and again on August 13th & 20th. All rehearsals will be held in Ypsilanti and will begin at 7:00 PM.
Not only will this be the big event for Grand Commandery it will be the biggest event that a Christian Mason can be involved in within the Fraternity.
Looking forward to seeing a large turnout for the Inspection and the first meeting of the Joint York Rite in Ann Arbor.
Stay happy, healthy and it would be nice if you could also be wealthy, however if you have the first two, you automatically
have the last.
