Dear Brethren,
Back in the fall of 2019, we made a local benevolent donation to one of our few local troll fishermen to enable him to travel to Victoria for a long and periodic series of cancer treatments. You may recall my reporting the following spring on his elderly mother, Mary, being awarded the Oueen’s Volunteer Medal for her years of selfless service to the community. The Ucluelet town Council Chambers were packed to overflowing for that happy event. (See video below)
Our Grand Master, M.W.B Douglas Franklin, has released a video message on YouTube:
Brethren.
The 14 March 2020 Regular Meeting Of Manoah Lodge No. 141 has been cancelled due to Coronavirus prevention precautions.
We will hold the Election of Officers at a later date which will be announced in due time.
I am willing to come to Tofino to meet with VWB Soer (who is already in Tofino) and anyone else who may wish to take part in a brief AGM for the Tofino Masonic Temple Society (TMTS) so that Bro. Huntsman can file the TMTS annual report for 2019 in compliance with the BC Societies Act.
Fraternal best wishes,
John McIntosh
Secretary
