The following is a message to the Brothers of Masters Lodge No. 5 from our WM, W.·. Ken Gibson.

Brothers,

I would like to thank all the EA's, FC's, newly raised Master Masons and Brothers who made it to DDGM RW.·. David Harris' visit to Mt. Vernon Lodge #3 on December 7^th, 2009. I am very proud of the fact that we had a total of 17 Brothers there to hear RW.·. Dave give Grand Master MW.·. Edward Gilbert's message to our new Brothers. Our Lodge won the Traveling Gavel for having the most Brothers in attendance. It has been awhile since Masters Lodge won that award. My gratitude to Brother Eric Benson, our JW, for spearheading a great turnout. Remember the Toys for Tots box in the Albany Temple lobby and if not a toy try to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to a local pantry at our next meeting, December 14^th at 7:30 PM. If you can't make our meeting I hope to see you next year at Lodge. Have a safe Holiday Season.

Fraternally,

W.·. Ken Gibson
