Message from the Worshipful Master
Jack Capra
Dear Brothers,
April was another great month for Solomon Lodge. We passed several new
brothers into the Fellowcraft degree and await their advancement to Master MasonFamily night on the 23
rdwas a wonderful time at the Jacksonville Suns Baseball
Stadium; unfortunately they lost in the 9th
inning. The upgrades on the upper deck
are still progressing and hopefully will be complete soon. Next month we will be
dark for our second meeting so that some of us can attend the Grand Lodge inOrlando. I thank you all for your continued support, and, as always, I want to
thank our JW and his crew for outstanding meals for our meetings. God bless.

From the DigestDigest of Masonic Law
Digest topic submi tted by Robby Stokes PDDGM 11thDistrict
Well, Grand Lodge Communication is at the end of this month.
We have newbies asking about what will take place and how.
Everything is similar to what is found in the Blue Lodge, but with
a lot more planning. Motions are made in the form of resolutions
and placed in a legislative booklet. This allows the delegates to
see what is to be voted upon. The only real difference is that
there is a Jurisprudence Committee that has the duty of
reviewing all resolutions to see if it falls within the ancient
customs and usages of the Digest of Masonic Law. They make recommendations for acceptance orrejection. Ultimately it is up to the craft to decide the matter by a vote of the Grand Lodge
Delegates(principal officers or their proxies and past Masters). Grand Lodge Communication voting is
found in Chapter 12 sections 13- 15.
12.13 All voting, in both Grand and Particular Lodges, not requiring ball or written ballot, shall
be by "show of hands."
12.14 In all cases, when voting in Grand Lodge upon any Resolution which will levy, or cause
to be levied, a tax or assessment upon Particular Lodges or the members thereof, the vote shall be
taken in the same manner and under the same Laws and Regulations as the voting for Grand Lodge
Officers.

12.15 Any proposed amendment or alteration of the Constitution, or Regulations to be
presented to the Grand Lodge for adoption at an Annual Communication shall be submitted to the
Grand Secretary before December 31 by Resolution explaining the reasons for amending the
Constitution or Regulation or proposing new Constitutional provisions or Regulations, using no more
than two letter size typewritten single spaced pages, and must be sent by the Grand Secretary to each
Particular Lodge, the Grand Lodge Elective Officers, the District Deputy Grand Masters, the District
Instructors, and Past Grand Masters no later than sixty (60) days prior to the Grand Lodge Annual
Communication. (1993)
A proposed amendment or alteration of a Regulation or of the Constitution may be designated
emergency legislation by a majority vote of members present and presented at the Annual Grand
Communication for consideration by the members of the Grand Lodge present and voting. (1984)

Message from the Secretary
Samuel H. Bennett, P.M.
RESOLUTION FOR FAMILY NIGHTS ON THE
4TH
MONDAY
Whereas: our bylaws presently calls for us to hold two stated
communications per month and,
Whereas: the digest of Masonic law provides that each Masonic
Lodge shall have at least one Stated Communications per month
and,
Whereas: If Solomon Lodge wishes to hold a family night on one
of our regular nights, we can only do so by special action of the lodge (Vote on and placed in
the minutes) and notify the craft and,
Whereas: our family nights have really improved our fraternal relationships and,
Whereas: we wish to make it easier to hold a family night and allow the Master to set his
calendar in advance and,
Whereas: to accomplish this task we need to change our bylaws.
Therefore be it resolved: that our by-laws be amended to read. That the second stated
communications which happens to fall on the fourth Monday may be changed to a familynight at the discretion of the Worshipful Master and with proper notification to the craft
by trestleboard or other appropriate means.This will be voted on at our first Stated
Communication in June.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Candidates
Following a Clear ballot Brandon James Tucker&Timothy James Hope will be initiatedin

MASONIC ETIQUETTE
AGED AND INFIRM
Members of a Lodge who, because of age or infirmity, find it either difficult or
impossible to attend at the assemblies of their Brethren stand in need of specialconsideration at the hand of their Lodge; and because of theircondition, no
others are so peculiarly appreciative of the kindness or courtesies that may be
shown them. A Lodge will maintain its contacts with them unbroken; will seethat they are visited; will send them messages on special occasions, and perhaps
encourage its members to remember them now and again with appropriate gifts or other reminders. Some
Lodges follow the admirable custom of setting aside once each year a Patriarchs Night in honor of its aged
members; others make it a practice at certain intervals to send a vehicle for such as are physically able to attend
Lodge, but have not the means.
