Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

June Trestle Board
   

FROM THE EAST        

        

    

     As we approach our final stated communication before going dark for the summer, I want to express my gratitude for the dedication, flexibility, and steady support each of you has shown throughout this year. Our lodge continues to grow stronger because of the commitment you bring to the Craft and to one another.

     June will be a meaningful month for us. On June 17th, we will be conferring a First Degree—our first Entered Apprentice initiated in our new location. This is a milestone for Aberdeen Lodge No. 187, and I look forward to sharing this moment with all who are able to attend.

     To ensure we are fully prepared, I am calling for a final practice on June 10th. Your participation is invaluable as we fine‑tune our work and deliver a degree worthy of the candidate and the traditions we uphold.

     As we prepare to go dark for the summer, I hope each of you finds time for rest, reflection, and fellowship with family and friends. Thank you for the honor of serving you from the East. I look forward to seeing everyone who can attend our June meeting as we close out this portion of our Masonic year with purpose and unity. Keep an eye out for activities that the lodge will be participating in throughout the summer with the city of Aberdeen as we continue to build a strong public appearance within our community.


  

                                                                                                                       Sincerely and fraternally,

                                               Dustin C. Casteel, PM

                                           Worshipful Master
