To one & all,
Just a short note to express sincere thanks from the RWM and members of Lodge Ugie #939 for coming along and supporting our open doors day event on Sunday 18th. June.
I am sure you will share the same view as ourselves, in that it was a most informative and worthwhile occasion, not only for Freemasons, but for the general public as well. There was a good spirit and camaraderie amongst those in attendance, with many different regalias' and Masonic artefacts on view. The visitors comments were encouraging, ranging from “good and worthwhile” to “splendid and absolutely fantastic”. Occasions like these give Freemasons the opportunity to explain the truth about the fraternity and help dispel many of the rumours and myths that exist. People will have been enlightened by their visit and I am sure your contribution will have made a lasting impression on them.
Hopefully this event will have inspired you to take part in, or indeed organise a similar event in your own Lodge, or in other Lodges in the future, where you can help promote the truth about what Masonic Orders do, and the good causes they support.
The sum of £130.00 was raised during this event and this sum will be handed over to representatives of Mintlaw Gala Committee at a future date which will be posted on our website and all will be most welcome to attend.
Any comments or suggestions you have will be gratefully received, as we hope to stage a similar event again during next year’s village gala.
Once again, many thanks for your help, it was greatly appreciated and we hope you enjoyed the day.
Yours fraternally,
Ian J Bain
Secretary, Lodge Ugie #939.
