Funeral RWB Stanton Brown
Brothers- Attached is information about funeral and memorial services for RWB Stanton Brown. Brother Stanton was a good man who truly lived a Masonic life. Not only by his dedication to the craft, but more importantly by the way he simply lived his life. As a Brother we should support and celebrate his memory and legacy. As people we should support, celebrate and learn from his life. If you are able to attend either the Memorial or Funeral I am sure the Brown family will be grateful for the support. Masonic Service will be held Tuesday December 23, 2014 at 5:30 PM at the Speaks Suburban Chapel on 39th Street in Independence, MO. Visitation will be held the same evening immediately following the Masonic Service. Funeral will be held Wednesday December 24, 2014 at 10 AM at the same Suburban Chapel location, with a military honors burial at Buckner Hill Cemetery just up the hill from the Lodge Hall. Please let everyone know that the Masonic Funeral Service is a public ceremony and all are invited to attend. Fraternally, David B. Brown Secretary Buckner Lodge #501 AF & AM

New Senior Warden
Brothers- For those who have not been able to sit in lodge recently, we have some new news. First some history; we started our Masonic year without an installed Senior Warden. We opened the position up to any brother Master Mason who was interested. We had three Brothers express interest. One of the Brothers stepped out due to family necessity, leaving us with two candidates. On our second Communication in November (11-20-14) we held our election for Senior Warden. Brother Steven Holbrook was elected as our new Senior Warden. Brother Holbrook has been working extremely hard at learning the ritual. He has been studying at home on his own and attending multiple study clubs each week. His dedication and demonstrated drive is amazing. Brother Holbrook was installed this week (12-18-14) as Senior Warden. I have no doubt that he will not only make the line stronger, by his example he will make all of us improve our individual performance as Masons. If you happen to see Brother Holbrook, please take the time to congratulate him on his new position and all his dedicated hard work!! Tom Saccardi
