One, your wishes should be made known to your family or those in charge of funeral arrangements and preferably be in writing. Two, a funeral can only be performed on a Mason in good standing (your dues must be current). Don t make assumptions. (by Bill Eyerly)

6 FROM THE EAST Greetings Brothers I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable summer. Summer is almost over, but it is still hot out there so make sure if you or your families are doing any outdoor activities, you drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. This is the last month that we will be dark during the first meeting of the month. The Builder by William R. Fischer The chief architect of King Solomon's Temple was and is often referred to as "The Builder." This term is also applied general to the Craft, for every speculative mason is as much a builder as was his operative predecessor. Masons are known as moral builders. As the operative Mason spreads the cement to bind the stone, speculative masons spread brotherly love, relief, and truth to bind men morally and spiritually. The operative builder, builds for a century and the speculative builder, builds for eternity. In this sense "The Builder" is the most noble title that can be bestowed on a Mason. Fraternally, Eddie Hemenway W M
