Dear Brethren.
We kicked off 2026 with a terrific Installation of Officers that filled the Lodge Room and had our
Most Worshipful Grand Master present along with many Grand Lodge Officers. The most
exciting thing for me was that 40% of the membership of Trumbull Lodge #22 were at the
Installation.
There have been a few changes to the Term Calendar. Due to more petitioners, we have added
another set of Degrees and have also added a Saturday Afternoon Trip on May 9 th to visit the
Home and War Office of our namesake Jonathan Trumbull in Lebanon, CT. Many thanks to our
Honorary Member Marshall Robinson for arranging the visit with the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution, who own the properties.
We are honored that our Worshipful Brothers Kirk C. Trofatter, Jr. and Amos A. Brooks have
been selected by the incoming Grand Master to serve as Right Worshipful District Deputy and
Associate Grand Marshal. They will be officially presented to the 4 th Masonic District in a
ceremony in Trumbull Lodge #22 on Sunday April 26, 2026 at 2:00 pm. Please join us as we
honor these two distinguished Brothers of our Lodge.
Finally, the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Benefit Dinner will be on Thursday
May 21, 2026 and will feature RWB Timothy Strawn, Director of Development at the Memorial
presenting a program about their Library Restoration and the Washington Family Bible
preservation. Every penny of your $25 admission fee will go to the Memorial. Special thanks to
Al Johnson and Cindy Sorrentino for preparing the dinner!
Please come out to see us, especially at the events highlighted above.
Fraternally,

Christopher J. Earle, Worshipful Master 2026
