Bowling League
Information
of all Masons of Pictou County.
The Masonic Bowling
League operates on Monday nights from 7pm to 9pm and runs from September to
March with fun and fellowship for all Masons. You do not need to know how to
bowl, just how to have fun.
The League started in
1962 and has run every year since
then. Due to membership falling off over the last few years it looks like the
league may be coming to a close due
to lack of support by Masonic members. We would like to see this weekly get
together stay in place but unless we have sign- ups for new members for the next
season the league may be forced to shut down. This would be a shame as many a
good time has been had over the years. If you are thinking of joining or would
like more information please contact Reg Conrod at 752-6008 for information.
With membership of approximately 550 Masons in Pictou County this League should
be able to find enough masons to keep the tradition going for many years to
come. Many Masons may not know of this fun filled weekly event. Waiting to greet
new and old members alike I remain hopeful that some may answer the call.
Sincerely,
The New Mentor Program documentation is now available up to date
as of November 29, 2005 on the
Grand Lodge Website. This information was presented in a draft form at the
Workshop in November and several changes have been to update the information.
This material is most interesting not just for new members but for "us old
Past Masters" as well. It can be a good refresher for each of us.( If you
do not have a password to the "Members Area" of the Grand Lodge site,
apply on line now. It is free and there is a wealth of information available.
