W/M David Scott Spears


Brethren,

Greetings from the East. WOW! This year is coming to an end and what a fantastic year it was to be the Master of Harmony Lodge for the first time. I would like to thank all who helped me and the lodge to have such a good year, because without your help we couldn't have been as good as we were. I would like to say that it has been a great honor for me to be the Master of Harmony Lodge. I got my name put in a time capsule at a cornerstone laying, which is scheduled to be opened in 100 years from now. I my not do anything to get my name put in the history books, but I will have that.

2009 was a banner year for Harmony Lodge. Recently raised Master Masons are: Vaughn Howard Meese (2/3), Leslie Adam Bryson and Christopher Robert Emde (4/30), Gregory Thomas Bell (3/14), James Ryan Gilchrist (8/20), Theodore John Garbera (6/18) and Lyle McIntyre (10/17). Fellow Crafts are: Joseph Timothy Dyches, Jr. (7/31), Aaron Edward Fleming, Harry Carroll Matthews III, Birger Kristian Rasmussen II and Christian Everette Sherbert (10/22). Entered Apprentices are: Richard Brian Bruce, Matthew Patrick Jordan and Homer Kelly Stewart, Jr. (9/3), Richard Aldan Clark (9/24) and Martin Len Thomas (11/5).

To all the officers of Harmony, I thank you for your support this year and I wish you well on your future Masonic travels in the lodge as officers. I wish all of you Great Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. This has been one of the greatest years of my life and I thank you all once again for it. THANK YOU and MY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Fraternally,

David Spears

Worshipful Master



Brethren,

As Brother Howard Harris has so accurately pointed out in our newsletter for December, this has been a very busy year, and we still have more to go. It was my idea to mention all of the work that has been accomplished in our lodge so far this year; not to brag, but to show how much we have accomplished and to give thanks to all who helped. No single event was the direct result of any single person, but of many; most of these were in our own lodge, but we also enjoyed outside help. Our Worshipful Master was sure to have letters of appreciation, signed by all lodge officers, presented to those Brothers who helped many times when needed, and sometimes on short notice.

This is brotherhood at its best. Let us strive to development this can-do attitude, which can only serve to strengthen and unite us in a close-knit family atmosphere of respect and brotherly love.

Speaking of family, all Masons’ wives are invited to dine with us at all our communications, both regular and special. This will serve to enhance family ties, not to mention giving the wife a night off from cooking. But a more important reason is to pay her the respect she deserves for supporting her husband as a Mason. December 10 marks our Open Installation of Officers, following the opening of the lodge for business.

On Saturday, November 7, the Annual Awards Ceremony was held at Harmony Lodge. Certificates of Appreciation and a number of plaques and year pins were awarded to brothers whose service to masonry and their community deserved especial notice. This year the Harmony Lodge EMS of the Year was awarded to Jim Long, Senior Crew Chief of the Beaufort EMS Team.

The Beaufort EMS Team -- Back L-R: Kelly Stewart, Shift Supervisor; Mike Cappacione, Crew Chief;
Jennifer Cespino, Paramedic; Rick Ramsey, Shift Supervisor; Dee Ann Sanders, Shift Supervisor;
Paulo Pacheco, Intermediate EMT; and Howell Youmans, Deputy Director.

Front L-R: Donna Ownby, Director; Jim Long, Sr. Crew Chief; Amber Bryson, Paramedic;
Danny Tinnel, Crew Chief; Chris Boltin, Paramedic; and Shaun Gleason, Sr. Crew Chief.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL!

At our awards ceremony, we were able to recognize three Masons whose service has been outstanding in our lodge this year: Howard Harris, performing as our Newsletter Editor and in-house calligrapher and instructor; Mark Campbell, filling in as Officer pro tem, and an instructor of many students; and Laurence Laughlin, as our Mason of the Year, again. Brother Laurence dedicated most of this year to preparing the meals for our regular communications, serving on many different commit­tees and being always available for advice when needed. He also invested many hours in keeping track of sick and needy brothers and sisters. A big Thank You to these three Masons is little payment for their commitment and dedication. What a pleasure it is to work with such outstanding people.
