Congratulations to our new entered apprentices and with the younger people coming in, we could start building the bottom half of our line. It’s always nice to see younger people coming into the craft and brightens up the future of our Lodge. Also congratulations to the effort that was put out on our Thanksgiving feast and hopefully everyone had a great time.

My brothers I am excited about the upcoming 1st degree and having new additions to the Lodge. Just a word to the brothers that will have parts in the degree that they diligently study said parts to make the degree experience the best that the new candidates can witness. Again, the district team is getting down on all lodges that there are not to be books open or tablets open, and everything should be committed to memory. I know this issue has come up before, but there are lodges in the district that are not adhering to their wishes. Other than that, keep safe brother and see you at the next meeting.

The Masonic Year started out a little slow, but we’re picking up momentum as we move on. Looking forward to initiate six new candidates within the next few months. This will be an exciting time for Smithtown because we haven’t had that many candidates come through in eight years. We is a lodge have to still remain diligent on our opening and closing because the district is under a magnifying glass from the Grand Master and the grand lectura. So, let’s study our parts so we look sharp at every meeting.

PS: no ritual books open tablets open cell phones open or anything written down on a piece of paper open. Call ritual work that is done in the Lodge at stations and places must be committed to memory. The only brother in the lodge that could read out of the ritual book is the prayer and that’s the chaplain.

well brothers it’s been a pretty quiet summer so far and can’t wait for the Masonic year to start again. I’m still trying to come up with a date for the district school instruction and having a little difficulty as to where and when it’s to be held But, we will get it accomplished. The War VETS dedicated another Bench for the battle within project and was placed at bold Hill Vietnam memorial park on August 1, 2025. The event is currently running on channel 12 news and there were three representatives from lodges in the Suffolk District that attended. Not much else going on and will see the brothers of Smithtown Lodge at our next social night.

Spring is here—time to rise from hibernation and pick up those suits from the cleaners! With only a few stated communications left in the season, let’s come together in friendship and brotherly love.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at this month’s events, including elections and the Lodge of Remembrance.

Brethren,
As Christmas approaches, let us take time to enjoy the blessings we can share with one another. The holidays are a special time, and being together with family and the brotherhood makes it even more meaningful.
In the spirit of the season, let us remember those in need and those who are facing difficult times, both within our own families and the wider community. Charity is one of the core virtues of Masonry, and it is through acts of kindness and generosity that we truly embody the spirit of the holidays.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the next stated communication.
Fraternally,
Edward Matuszak

Brethren,
It sounds like the Cigar and Bourbon Day was a fantastic event! Despite the rain, it’s great to hear that everyone enjoyed themselves, especially with W:. Hanson’s culinary talents and the variety of spirits and cigars available. A big shout-out to Steve Korferl for hosting—it’s always wonderful when members step up to support each other.
