November, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 11

Greetings from the East

Poet Robert Frost said, "In three words, I can sum up about everything I've learned about life. It goes on." And that is all I, as Master, have to say about that. As my year as master winds down and I reflect, one of my favorite poems, Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" comes to mind. If you are inclined, take a look.

On behalf of the Lodge, I want to thank Corwin Stephan for mowing our grass the last eight years. We all appreciate your efforts.

Remember the hayride Oct16 at 3:30PM. It is at Eric Brown's farm (2 mi. E, 1 mi. N, 1/2 mi. E of Zearing). A map can be found under "upcoming events" on the website. Bring family,friends and prospects.

The brothers, their sons and new prospects are going hunting October 29. This is opening day of pheasant season. We have 9 going as of this writing. Two brothers from up north have given us permission to hunt their land. They have several thousand acres, so there is room for more hunters. For safety, we will split up into several groups and meet around noon for homemade chicken and noodles and pie at the local church. Even if you don't hunt, you are welcome. It is fun to get out in the fall and we always can use truck drivers to move people around.

At the October meeting the Finance Committee recommended the following changes to our by-laws: Be it resolved that Section 6. Dues be deleted and the following enacted in lieu there of:

SECTION 6. DUES The annual dues of Arcadia Lodge No. 249 shall be set at the stated meeting in September upon recommendation of the Finance Committee(10/6/05)plus current Grand Lodge Dues. Three dollars($3.00) of theses dues will be paid to the Charity Fund. (4/7/05) If membership is consummated on or after July 1, dues for 1/2 year will be paid.

This goes into effect for 2006 dues. Dues for 2006 will be $45.00 plus Grand Lodge Dues for a total of $65.00. This will be voted on at the November stated meeting on Thursday, November 3, 2005. November 3 is also election of officers for 2006. We will have several openings. If you are interested in getting into the line or serving on a committee contact Steve Gwiasda, SW.

We are going to have a free soup supper at the Lodge on November 8 (election day) from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. Members of all masonic bodies and friends are invited. Cribbage may follow.

The Lodge decided at the October stated meeting to expand Wednesday morning coffee to include some Saturdays. The inaugural Saturday morning coffee will be at 10:00 AM on November 19. This will allow college students and working brothers a chance to experience the joys of a bull session at the Lodge! Hope to see you.

Remember the website as a source of Lodge information.

October, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 10

Greetings from the East

This letter is coming to you a bit late in the month for a reason. David Countryman took a well deserved vacation. Also, by holding off a week, you will get a Grand Lodge Communication report a month earlier.

I would like to thank Steve Gwisda,SW for conducting the September meeting.

On September 12, the DeMolay boys invited us to a picnic. Five brothers attended a fine event. David Baker is doing a great job as a new DeMolay Adviser. He is a natural and the other advisers are always happy to have more help.

We were well represented at the 161st Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Iowa held in Souix City, Iowa September 15-17. Brothers Bill Yungclas and David Aves attended the Grand Lodge School of Instruction on Thursday. Bill passed the Entered Apprentice test. Congratulations! Doug Petty, Steve Gwiasda, and Josh Tostlebe were our voting delegates. Jay Cole Simser, Oliver Boyington, Bob Harvey, and Jeremy Davis attended as visitors. That is nine brothers! Charles L. Brinkerhoff,P.J.G.W. was elected and installed as the Grand Master of Iowa Masons. On the only vote taken, it was decided that installation of officers can take place anytime after the December stated meeting and before the first day of February. Congratulations are in order for Jeremy Davis,JD. On Friday September 16 he was named Young Mason of the Year in Iowa by then Grand Master Donald E. Mayer. This is a great honor for Jeremy and our Lodge. Congratulations are also in order for Arcadia Lodge #249. We won the 2005 Iowa Lodge of the Year Gold Award. This is our second year in a row! There are 289 Lodges competing for this award. So, to be named number one is a tribute to a real team effort. Each of you, in your own way contributed to the well being of the Lodge. I thank and salute every brother. One last note from Grand Lodge. Brother Bill Yungclas was appointed to a five year term on the Board of Trustees of the Herman L. Rowley Memorial Masonic Trust. Congratulations, Bill.

October 6th is our next stated meeting. October is "fill the Lodge" night and also a "Rusty Nail" night. If you haven't been to Lodge for a while, please attend. We will get you up to speed on passes and signs.

You will not get another newsletter before the hayride. Watch "Upcoming Events" on the website for a map and details. Mark your calendar for Sunday October 16 at 3:30 PM. We would like a RSVP to Secretary Don Rhead (233-2553) by Friday October 14 to help us get an approximate head count for food.

See you all in October! Remember to check iowamasons.com for your Lodge information.

Doug Petty,WM

September, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 2

Greetings from the East

Laura Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star will serve a free dinner for Masons and families at the September Stated meeting. This is to honor the Masons. Because this meal is free we want to have an accurate count. Please turn in your reservation to the lodge by August 29.

The Table Lodge held on July 15, 2005 was well attended. We had an increase of over 50% from 2004. We had a great meal and program. Reservations are made for Friday, July 21, 2006. I think we could have sold tickets that evening. Thanks to Brother Bob Allen for being the Master of Ceremonies. Another fine job!

I am pleased to announce that we will have a hayride again this fall. It is set for Sunday, October 16 at 3:30PM. This is our best family event. The kids love the horses and the hot dogs! Save this date on your calendar.

We will also repeat our "fill the Lodge night" on Thursday, October 6 at the stated meeting. This will also be a rusty nail night. So, if you have forgotten the password, we will get you up to speed before the meeting. If you can think of a brother you haven't seen for a while, call him up and offer him a ride to Lodge. If you are reading this, and haven't been to Lodge for awhile, I invite you to attend. We have fourteen new members this year. You need to meet these men and they need an opportunity to meet you.

We will have a First Degree on Aug 25, a Second Degree on Sept 8 and a Third Degree on Sept 22.

We are parking cars at the ISU football games. If you can help, contact Jeremy Davis at 291-7016. Remember, you get into the game for free and it raises money for the Lodge.

Grand Lodge will be Sept 15, 16, and 17 in Sioux City. The Master, Wardens, and Senior Deacon plan to represent the Lodge.

The cleanup night at the Lodge on July 19 was a success. We filled Brother Staley"s trailer with limbs and trash. Thanks to all that pitched in to make short work of the job.

I will miss the September stated meeting. I will be going to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness for a few days of fishing. Brother Steve Gwiasda, SW, will conduct the meeting. Things will be in good hands. However, there has been discussion of appointing a couple deputy tylers to keep the past masters under control!

One thing I have learned in this year as Master, is that some of the best Masonic work is done outside our Lodge building and some of it out of the site of most members. With that in mind, I want you to know that we are watching and we do notice. And for those things I say thanks to the four Daves, both Pauls, JC, Keith, both Steves, Bill, Tim, Dan, Don and Jeremy. All of you have committed an unselfish act for the benefit of Mason's in general or this Lodge in particular over the last month. My hat is off to you!

August, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 8

Greetings from the East

The summer is going fast, but we are having fun.

We raised another brother on June 30,2005. Please welcome brother Trenton Norman at your earliest convenience. Pictures of all the new members are on the web site under "New Members". We will raise another brother on July 14, 2005. There will be a stated meeting or a degree conferred on every Thursday evening through September 8, 2005. Please join us. We are keeping up with degree work, but have had a steady stream of petitions all year. Keep up the good work!

The 5th Annual Arcadia Table Lodge is scheduled for Friday July 15, 2005. A report will be included in the next newsletter.

We will have a general clean-up of the exterior of the Lodge property on Tuesday, July 19 at 6:30 PM. A tree has blown down and we need to pull a few weeds. All brothers are welcome. We will have pizza or burgers (after the clean-up) at a site determined by the brothers in attendance. This would be a great time to meet some of the new brothers and have an evening of fellowship with old friends.

Thanks to all the brothers that have worked food service projects this summer. This brings revenue into the Lodge to support our philanthropic projects.

I would like to congratulate SS, David Aves, and JW, Don Shedd. Both brothers received their MI certificates in May. This is a valuable asset for our Lodge. Thanks for all your efforts. As I have stated before, " I am blessed with the best line in the state

June, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 7

Greetings from the East

Business is great at Arcadia Lodge #249. We have declared a dividend again this quarter! If you failed to receive your wages, let me remind you that you must attend Lodge meetings, functions, and degree work to collect them. The rewards and satisfaction of being a Mason have never been better.

I want to introduce and congratulate our newest brother Master Masons: Brother Derek Flowers (r.04-21-05), Brother David Baker (r.04-21-05), Brother Nick Delahoussaye (r. 04-28-05), Brother Mathew D. Hargrfen (r.05-12-05), and Brother Jason Schaben (r. 06-09-05). Please welcome this exceptional group when you are able. They are all very active and can be found at the Lodge on Thursday evenings. Their pictures are on the website under "new members".

We have more candidates in the process of receiving the degrees. There will be a first degree June 16, a second degree June 23, a third degree June 30, a third degree July 14, a first degree July 21 and a second degree July 28. The schedule is always on the website. Lodge opens at 7:00 P.M. on degree nights. Arcadia Lodge is doing excellent degree work. If you haven't been to a degree night for a while, treat yourself.

I want to announce a change in the website. We will be found at www.IowaMasons.com. The old site will still forward you for awhile.

There is a picture of a 9 lb. walleye, caught by Secretary Don Rhead (with an assist in landing by the WM) on the website. Also, pictures from the canoe outing are under the "lodge functions" section. The outing with Montague Lodge #117 of Eldora was enjoyed by all in attendance. The weather was great! Canoes were paddled, fish were caught and good food was served. The tug-o-war was held between Montague Lodge #117 and Arcadia #249. All I will say is, "I took the cane to Eldora, but it didn't come home with me." Details are on the website.

Just a reminder about the 5th Annual Arcadia Lodge Table Lodge on July 15, 2005. Get your tickets while they last!! Brother Bill Yungclas posted a very good informational piece under "upcoming events" on the website. I will refer you to that article for complete information on the Table Lodge. By word of mouth, it's the place to be. About half the tickets have been purchased by out of town Lodge members. It would be sad to think that your home Lodge has the best Table Lodge in the state, attended mostly by out of towners, and you somehow missed the most fun and entertaining event held all year.

Thanks again to the line. You guys are great! A special gold star goes to Junior Steward, Paul Miller. We would like a dozen like you, but are real glad to have one! Keep up the good work, brother!

Thanks to all for your support.
Doug Petty, WM

June, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 6

Greetings from the East

Spring is officially upon us!! However, this concept was debated at the Lodge picnic on April 22. Thanks to all that attended. There is always a warm feeling when brothers assemble. On that night, however, we used a supplemental heat source. At least we were out of the wind and it didn't snow.

We voted and accepted three petitions at our May stated meeting. We will have two first degrees on May 19 and two second degrees on May 26. Lodge opens at 7:00 P.M., with degrees at 7:15 P.M.

On May 4, 2005, the Arcadia Lodge #249 scholarship was presented to Julie Larson. Grand Lodge of Iowa scholarships were presented to Edward Chen and Dianna Dai. Thanks to the Scholarship Committee (Darrel Staley, David Aves, Barry Sieh and Chuck Schmidt) for a job well done.

The Lodge will again have an outdoor recreation/canoe outing with Montague Lodge #117 of Eldora, Iowa. The event will headquarter at The Pine Lodge at Pine Lake State Park. It will be Saturday, June 4, 2005. There is no rain date. If it rains, we will throw an extra log on the fire and play a few more cards. If there is high water on the river, we will canoe on the lake. The coffee and rolls will be ready at 9:00 A.M. Lunch will be 11:30 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. Canoe and golf people will eat when convenient.

May, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 5

Greetings from the East

Thanks to all that have helped with degree work in March. Eight degrees were conferred last month. We have four third degrees scheduled for April 14, 21, 28, and May 12, 2005. Lodge for degrees will open at 7:00 P.M.

Three petitions were read at the April stated meeting and will be voted on at the May stated meeting.

The proposed change to the bylaws passed. Starting with the 2006 dues, three dollars of dues will go to the charity fund. This was changed from one dollar.

A fifty year certificate was presented to Clayton Lokken at the April stated meeting. Congratulations are in order.

I am glad to announce a Masonic friends and neighbors picnic. It will be Friday, April 22, 5:00-8:00 P.M. Dinner will be at approximately 5:45 P.M. It will be held at Moore Memorial Park's Coneflower Shelter in north Ames. Hamburgers, hotdogs and drink will be provided. Please bring your family and a covered dish. This will be a friendship night, so bring any prospective members. That evening, we will have use of the "official" tug-of-war rope for a practice and strategy session. It will then be turned over to Montague Lodge #117 in Eldora, Iowa. This is so they can practice and train during May. The tug-of-war contest, for possession of the Masonic Cain, will be held at the annual canoe outing Saturday, June 4, 2005.

Tickets for the 5th Annual Table Lodge are now on sale! It will be Friday, July 15, 2005, at The Basil, 6400 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa. The price is $20.00 per ticket, and attendance will be limited to the first 50 tickets sold. Contact Secretary, Don Rhead for tickets. Past Grand Master for 2004, Robert "Bud" Ericson, will be the speaker.

Thanks for all your support,
Doug Petty, WM

February, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 4

Greetings from the East

Thanks to all that attended the March stated meeting. Our string of perfect attendance by the line officers is still intact. The DeMolay served a good meal before the meeting. Remember to make reservations and join us next month.

I want to thank all the brothers that made presentations at the meeting. Special thanks goes to the Property Management Committee. You did excellent due diligence investigating our investment options. Brother Bailey's presentation of the committee's recommendations, helped us make an informed decision. Brother Shaffer also presented the Property Management Annual Report for 2004. If you would like to see it, contact Dan. Brother Simser gave an interesting presentation on the man behind the Webb work. The Property Management books have been audited, the taxes are done, and the sec/treas books are in the process of being audited.

The committee that reviewed the Lodge Bylaws suggested one change. This was presented at the February meeting and will be voted on at the April meeting. The proposed change was in Sec. 6 Dues. The proposal would change from $1.00 to $3.00 the amount paid to the Charity fund. The proposal reads as follows:

Sec. 6 Dues. The annual dues of Arcadia Lodge No. 249 shall be $39.00 (10/04/01) plus current Grand Lodge Dues, of which $3.00 will be paid to the Charity fund.

We voted on four petitions. All were elected to receive the degrees of masonry. The schedule is as follows: 2 first degrees at 7:00 P.M. on Mar 17; 2 second degrees at 7:00 P.M. on Mar 24 and 2 second degrees at 7:00 P.M. on Mar 31. Hopefully, we can schedule all four third degrees in April.

We have been invited to attend the Installation of Officers for the Cyclone Chapter of DeMolay on Saturday, April 9, 2005 at 2:00 P.M. in the lodge. Please show your support.
We have also been invited to the York Rite Easter Program. It will be held at the lodge Wednesday March 16, 2005 at 7:30 P.M. Also remember, the York Rite pancake breakfast on Sunday April 10, 2005, 9:00-1:00 P.M. at the Lodge.

Remember to mark your calendars for our Recreation/Canoe Outing on Saturday June 4, 2005 and Table Lodge on Friday July 15, 2005.

Thank-you for all your support,

Doug Petty WM

March, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 3

Greetings from the East

The first order of business this month is a big thank-you to all the line officers. We again, had 100% attendance at our stated meeting by all officers of the lodge. The Deacons and Wardens are doing great work in organizing our degree work. Our candidates deserve good degree work and they are getting it! We have conferred four degrees since the last newsletter. Our secretary read four new petitions at the February stated meeting. This means a busy March! The Grand Master has indicated a desire to raise one of these new candidates, so keep a look out!

The January 15th dinner for our teacher of the year was nicely done. Special thanks to Tim and Kim Grandon and Dave and Rita Aves. I would like to serve notice to all who gave money for the purchase of Lodge furniture in 2004, that we are a nonprofit, not a charitable, organization. Therefore, those donations are not tax deductible.

I would like all members to welcome our newest brother, Daniel L. Lewis. He was raised January 20, 2005. His picture is in the new member section of the website.

We have been invited to attend a "Ladies Night Dinner" at Acanthus Lodge #632 of Des Moines, by Worshipful Master Brian D. Pappaducas. This will be one of our "lodge visits" for the year. Dinner will be at 6:00PM on Monday, February 28, 2005. The program will be a performance by the Roosevelt High School choir. We will car pool from the Lodge. Contact Doug Petty, 268-8006 if you are interested.

The next stated meeting is March 3, 2005. As stated, we will vote on four petitions, then, and Property Management will report on the February 17th meeting. They plan to make recommendations for the investment of the proceeds from the sale of the downtown property.

If you have an e-mail address but are still receiving this letter by surface mail, please forward your e-mail address to: davidc@iastate.edu. David Countryman will get you set up to get the letter via e-mail, thus saving the Lodge postage. Thank-you.

Fraternally,
Doug Petty, WM

February, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 2

Greetings from the East

As Worshipful Master of Lodge, I would like to thank all who attended and participated in the installation of the 2005 Officers on January 2, 2005. Pictures are on the website. I want to congratulate the line, as all members attended the installation and the January stated meeting. There was a little bonus added to the Master Mason wages paid for the January stated meeting. It shows that it pays to attend Lodge. Thanks to all the brothers who have given to the scholarship fund through donations and purchase of banquet tickets.

At the stated meeting, I announced a desire to create three new committees. If you are interested in being a member of any of these committees, please let me know. The first committee will publish a directory of the members. The particulars of the directory are open for debate and at the discretion of the committee. So far, Scott Werkmeister, David Countryman, and Dan Shaffer have agreed to help. The second committee will be a Lodge Maintenance Committee. This committee will be the right arm of the Property Management Committee. They will work on physical maintenance and improvements to the lodge. The third committee will be an Events Committee. They will help at all lodge functions as extra help on the day of the event, as needed by the Chairman of the event. I would like six on this committee with at least three available for each event.

We will do degree work this month as follows: Entered Apprentice Jan 13, Master Mason Jan. 20 and Fellow Craft Jan 27. We will have a lot of degree work again this year. We are forming a degree roster. Our hope is to have three people listed in each part for all degrees. If you want to get active in degree work, we need you! It would be fun to have a few degrees done by past masters this year. The next stated meeting is February 3, 2005. I hope to see you there and at the "five buck dinner" before the meeting.

Fraternally
Doug Petty, WM

January, 2005 - Volume 4, No. 1

Greetings from the East

As worshipful master elect, I would like to start with a reflective message. The last year has been a very good one for Arcadia Lodge. It has been a joy to watch the personal growth of the brothers. We accomplished a lot last year, noted by our award as Gold Lodge of the Year in Iowa. But, most important to me was the true teamwork, brotherly love and consideration granted from brother to brother. We are a very diverse group. However, we stand as one. I rest assured that this will continue in 2005.

I want to congratulate WM Tim Grandon on a great year. As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Therefore, my hope and aim for 2005 is to "Continue The Excellence." We have an all-star line for 2005: Steve Gwiazda SW, Don Shedd JW, Josh Tostlebe SD, Jeremy Davis JD, David Aves SS, Paul Miller JS, Don Rhead Sec, James Sears Treas, Jay Cole Simser Chap. and Dan Shaffer Tyler. I truly believe, that this line, is one of the most talented and promising in the state. I feel fortunate to be a part of it.

If you want to hear the particulars of our plans for 2005, please join us for the installation of officers. We will install 2005 officers on Sunday, January 2, 2005, at 3:00 PM in the lodge. Brother Rollen Phillips will preside.

On January 15, 2005, we will hold our annual dinner honoring the "Teacher of the Year" and our scholarship winner. Dinner will be at 6:00 PM in the lodge. The cost is $10.00 per person. Please RSVP, with check, to Don Rhead by January 13. This has been one of our premier events in recent years, with proceeds going to our scholarship fund. If you can't make it, we will accept checks payable to the lodge for the scholarship fund. However, I'd rather see you there for a great meal and fellowship!

If you have access to the internet, the lodge has a great website for you! It is: <http://ames-ia-masons.org. Brother Dan Shaffer has done an excellent job with this site. Please get in the habit of using it for lodge information. It is updated almost daily with upcoming events, newsletter, lodge functions and new members just to name a few. There are many great pictures on this site. Again, please check it out.

One last thought. Please read last month's newsletter one more time. It reflects an excellent year. Let us "Continue The Excellence" in 2005. May this letter find you and your family blessed and at peace.

Brother Doug Petty
WM Elect
