  1. Merry Xmas This Xmas, I would like to put up a tree in my heart, and instead of hanging presents, I would like to put the names of all my Brethren. Close Brethren and not so close Brethren. The old Brethren the new Brethren. Those that I see every day and the ones that I rarely see. The ones that I always remember and the ones that I sometimes forget. The ones that are always there and the ones that seldom are. The Brethren of difficult times and the ones of happy times. Brethren who, without meaning to, I have hurt, or, without meaning to have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know by name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much. My humble Brethren and my important Brethren. The names of all those that have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree withvery deep roots and very longand strong branches so thattheir namesmay never be plucked from my heart. So that new names from all over may join the existingones. A tree with a very pleasant shade so that our Brotherhood may take a moment of rest from the battles of life. “May thehappy moments of Xmas Brighten every day ofthe new year”. These are our sincere wishes. But, there are some more we have to think about ... Click PageDown to continue... ... And a Happy New Year 6008 A.L.

  2. I'm the guy who asked who asked to join your organization. I'm the Brother who paid his dues to join. I'm the Brother who stood up in front of all of you and promised to be faithful and loyal. I'm the Brother who came to your meetings and no one paid any attention to. I tried several times to be friendly to some of the Brethren, but they all had their own buddies they talk toand sat next to. I sat down several times but no one paid any attention to me. I hoped very much that somebody would have asked me to take part in a fund raising project or something, but no one saw my efforts when I volunteered. I missed a few meetings after joining because I was sick and couldn't be there. No one asked me at the next meeting where I had been. I guess it didn't matter very much to the others whether I was there or not.The next meeting I decided to stay home and watch TV. The following meeting I attended, no one asked me where I was when the last meeting was held. You might say I'm a good Brother, a good family man who holds a responsible job, loves his community, and his country. You know who else I am? I'm the Brother who never came back! It amuses me when I think back on how Officers of Lodge and the members of Brotherhood were discussing why the organization was losing members.  It amuses me now to think that they spent so much time looking for new members when I was there all the time.All they needed to do was make me feel needed, wanted and welcome!
