Frontenac 621 Lodge was recently required to replace the furnace and chimney as a precondition to continued insurance coverage. Without insurance we could not meet in our building. This was a huge and unexpected expense. As you all undoubtedly know, Frontenac 621 has a long and distinguished history in this district, and we must take every step we can to remain an active and important part of the masonic matrix of Frontenac district. We are currently bound by our by-laws from taking some of the more conventional approaches to ensuring our long term health.

A sunny afternoon was upon us , Friday September second, at the Kingston Masonic center. With its brand new roof, window flashing's and newly painted doors, with gleaming polished hardware, the building was almost pristine.
Derick Zimmerman and I were setting up a barbecue and getting things ready to entertain a group of Masons and to initiate a new man into Masonry.
It was peaceful, as the members of the lodge started to arrive, finishing touches were completed, the lodge was ready, the coals were hot and the drinks were on Ice.

Wow! I read the proposed amendment when I received the package from Grand Lodge for the forthcoming Annual Communication. My first reaction was that the proposal was totally unweildy and would fail with attempted implementation. On further thought, I came to realize that the proposed new sub-section is open to great interpretation.

This entry expresses the views of W. Bro. Roger Monahan, the webmaster of Frontenac District, and not the views of any other brethren, any district lodges nor of Frontenac District.
Each year, prior to the July meeting of Grand Lodge, proposed amendments to the Constitution are distributed to the members through their lodges for their consideration. In most cases the reasons for the amendments are clear, and they are passed without question.

Why do we wear Tuxedo and business suits to Lodge.
In these days of hurried times and tight schedule's, and when the mode of daily dress is business casual why do Masons insist on getting dressed up?
The answers are written in our reference books. But the question is do you agree? Should we change? Some men do not own a suit. Are we alienating them? Are the costs prohibitive? What impression does it make?
