distinguished Guest and Brothers who came out and supported the new brothers.

sponsor. As you can see we have a Big Holyrood Lodge Banner , we also helped them

with the purchase of new uniforms, bats, catchers equipment, baseballs and other train-

ing equipment. So far the team has had 4 official games where they were playing double

hitters the past couple of Saturdays and their current record is 3 wins and 1 loss. Way to

start the season STAR’s.

FROM YOUR LODGE SECRETARY

Brethren,

Since the beginning of the year, we have started off with a bang. We have 4 new EAs, we have

sponsored a Little League Ball Team, we have started pursuing a new De Molay chapter at Holy-

rood Lodge and we are planning a Family Night on Thursday, March 30th. We will be treated

with homemade Lasagna by Brother Paul Ippolito. These are some ambitious projects and fortu-

nately, we have some brothers who have taken on these tasks and moving forward. However,

they could use some help from the rest of the brothers of the lodge. If you have an interest in

joining in any of these projects or if you have some ideas for other projects for the Lodge, let

me know by either email at secretary@holyroodlodge.com or leave me a voice mail at 813-888-

6385.

Fraternally,

Joseph Tarica, PM

Secretary

and the Scottish

Rite, York Rite,

the Shrine, and

other Masonic

Bodies… tell your loved ones; your

wife, daughter, son or any close

relative of your affiliation within

the Masonic Fraternity. Yes my

Brother, in the event of your death,

tell them to notify the Secretary of

all Masonic Bodies in which you

hold membership. There are a

number of cases each year in which

we are not notified of the passing of

a Brother, and we send an

embarrassing dues notice to his

loved ones. As your Chaplain, it is

important to reach out to all of our

Brothers and their families in need

of prayers, thoughts, and visitations.

To do this I need your help! I

would like to set aside one day a

month just for visitations. I cannot

do this without your help. When

you hear of anyone distressed, sick,

or shut in - please call or email me

so that we can be of service.
