Cochise Masonic High Twelve Club #703 – AZ Hello, All High Twelvians & Guests. Now that the evening is lighter, some of our senior members and guests will attend our monthly meetings, which is excellent. We especially welcome back our Masonic Widows and Widowers who we have missed. Our March 10 meeting is shaping up to be pretty interesting. Brother Spike Fortier, who resides in Alaska and Tombstone, Arizona, is the guest speaker and should be very telling – no Pinocchio’s at this meeting. Our very own Masonic Representative and HTI Representative Trustee Harry Brown, PCP, PSP was awarded his fifty-year apron by the Arizona Grand Master WB Jim Baker at Huachuca Lodge #53 stated meeting in Sierra Vista, AZ. WB Harry is an excellent example for all younger Masons to follow. He is everywhere doing rituals or audits. Well, I’m not one to make up newsletter articles; so that’s it for now. Fraternally & Respectively |

Phyllis Chestang, Wolcott Fellow These highlights may be ‘of interest’ showing how your gift that helped me complete my MBA, International Business & Finance, at George Washington University — ‘keeps on giving’ *** BRAVO!! Your insight & wisdom to envision a long-term/long haul sustainable investment in me is still paying dividends. Here is a brief excerpt from a recent scientific/medical article titled, “Social media benefits and risks v. Colorectal Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, and Chronic Health Conditions. |

Many clubs have asked how are the Wolcott Foundation giving award badges to displayed on the club banner? Well here is a sample of a cloth strip 4″ wide to put the badges on secured with a binder clip. Some have used a small dowel with the cloth strip and binder clip. Others have used a dowel inserted into the open top tube frame (have to remove the end tube plug that also acts as a stop if the banner snaps to the base uncontrolled, which can damage the banner!). |

Waterloo High Twelve Club #46 – IA I truly believe High-Twelve is, along with Order of De Molay, THE best ‘gateway’ to Freemasonry. Unless your lodge has an open dinner before each Stated meeting and thus an opportunity for a ‘prospect’ to meet the Brothers, see the Lodge Hall, etc, how better to share our Fraternity with friends, neighbors, co-workers and even male family members in a very casual way? Indeed my first intro to Masonry, even before I became a De Molay Boy & then a Mason, was when I went to a High-Twelve luncheon at age 13 with my Dad’s boss. It was the Club’s annual “Bring your son to High-Twelve” luncheon and Mr. Ecklund did not have a son so I was “loaned”. Wow! When the Dubuque, Iowa club members went around the room with each member introducing themselves, I saw one from my church, one of my teachers, etc. Years later I was asked to provide a program to that very same High-Twelve Club. I was hooked! Ever since I’ve been pleased to have this special group of Brothers as my luncheon friends as well. How better to get to know people than over a casual dinner? Everyone has to eat after all, so when a friend, co-worker or neighbor asks you to join him for lunch at his special ‘club’, why not? It sure paid off for me as it does for countless others. I’m willing to bet that if we did a survey we would find that cities with High-Twelve Clubs have more healthy, active Lodges than those cities without one. High-Twelve is indeed the gateway into Masonry! Gerald Edgar, PSP Picture is my late Dad, son & I – three generations of High-Twelve members with my son, Lee Edgar, being a Wolcott Fellow! |
