MumFest and Golf Cart Fundraiser Updates
Brethren,
I pray everyone is doing well. I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that the Golf Cart Raffle is in full swing. Thanks to many of our brothers, tickets sales are doing very well for the New Bern Masonic Historic Theater Preservation Foundation. Your brothers are working extremely hard to raise the funds needed to continue the lifelong efforts to preserve our historic building for generations to come. You should really come out and see some of the work being done to your building.
In addition to selling tickets, we have secured a vendor’s booth for this years MumFest, which will be held on the weekend of October 13, 14 and 15. The goal is not just to sell tickets, but more importantly to increase the exposure of St. John’s Lodge and to educate our community about importance of masonry and our historic lodge. If you find yourself at MumFest, please come visit with the brethren of your lodge. If you want to help, we need folks to work in booth the during MumFest or help selling tickets for the raffle. I have also attached a copy of the Golf Cart Raffle Flyer for dissemination.
Also, your lodge will be conducting a 3rd Degree on two brothers, Wednesday, August 2, a gourmet meal will be served at 6:30 pm with the degree beginning at 7:30 pm.
As always, I am only a phone call away should you need anything or have any questions. Hope to see or talk to you soon.
Fraternally,

Brethren,
It is with a heavy heart that I ask you to keep our WB Jeremy Taylor, Past Master of St. John’s Lodge No.3 and his family in your thoughts and prayer. On May 14, 2023, WB Jeremy Taylor unexpectedly lost his 26-year-old son, Austin Taylor. Although we may not understand Gods plan, as his Brothers, now is the time to be there for him in any capacity needed.
Austin’s obituary reads as follows:
Austin Avery Taylor (ATAYLOR), age 26, of Grantsboro, North Carolina passed away on Sunday, May 14, 2023. An incredible son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend, Austin enjoyed playing video games, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends. He had a big heart and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed it. He will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing him.
Austin is survived by his father, Jeremy Taylor (Jessica Chase); his mother, Jennifer Lynn (Brad Tarplee); siblings, Hannah Dunford (Isaiah), Madison Tarplee, Logan Davis, and Mason Chase; paternal grandparents, Buddy and Anita Taylor; maternal grandmother, Brenda Perry; aunt, Jamie Coombs (Benji); nephew, Nolan Dunford; many cousins; and his service dog, Hershey, whom he dearly loved.
The family will receive friends from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at Cotten Funeral Home. The service will begin at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. He will be laid to rest at New Bern Memorial Cemetery.
Austin's favorite color was pink and in honor of him, we encourage his friends and family to wear pink to his service.
