From the West
Greetings from the West Brothers,
April is National Cancer Control Month, and Ashlar-Aspetuck Lodge No. 142 A.F. & A.M. supports the
American Cancer Society with a $2,500 fundraising goal.
We’re honored to have Brother Nunes and his brass quintet as the centerpiece of this month-long drive. If
things go well, we may need a few extra hands on the performance day - so stay tuned! Idnyiu can’t make
it O the 27th, Please donate and share widely with all your friends and family.
Charities one of the core principles of Freemasonry, not just in the form of financial aid but as a quiet,
steady impulse to serve others. Masons are taught that true charity asks for no recognition and that we should
give if it is within the length of our cable tow to do so. Whether supporting a brother in need or contributing
to the greater good, we are called to act as good men should!
Cancer research matters to everyone because cancer touches everyone: family, friends, brothers, and
even ourselves. Supporting cancer research is a direct expression of our Masonic values. As Masons, we are
taught to meet on the Level and extend Brotherly Love to all, regardless of their station in life. In that spirit,
we stand together in the fight—because cancer doesn’t discriminate, and neither should our compassion.
Efforts like this are how we demonstrate who we truly are. We are not just a fraternity that meets behind
closed doors to drink and party but a brotherhood of community caretakers. By serving others, we model
what it means to live by our principles for all the world to see.
Help us make a difference by sharing and supporting our fundraiser. Every dollar, post, and effort matters!
“Leave the weight of the world at the door of the Lodge, and bring the light of the Lodge to the world.”
Fraternally,
Kraig W. Gray, - Sr. Warden
From the South
Greeting from the South Brothers.
Greetings Brothers of Ashlar Aspetuck 142.
Things are looking bright from the South, and we are slowly filling the calendar with events
for the coming year. Our usual Full Moon Fellowship for April will be replaced with supporting
the wonderful Brass Quintet concert hosted by our Senior Deacon, Anthony Nunes April 27. Stay tuned for details. May full moon is Sunday the 12th, Flower Moon. Doors open 6:00 and we are hoping for warming weather
to enjoy our patio and hopefully a fire weather permitting.
I have decided to reach out to the brothers to see if anyone has a particular suggestion for meal choices for Stated Communications. I have a full library of recipes however I thought it would be interesting to hear from
my fellow Brothers. Please feel free to email or test your suggestions or ideas.
Save the date, June 14th for the annual TransitionsCT
Cookout. We will be providing hamburgers and hotdogs along with a surprise or two. We are soliciting sides and salads from our Brothers. Please let me know what you will be able to contribute.
Thank you All.
Fraternally,
J. Rick Cipot, - Jr. Warden
