Brothers- I just wanted to share more good news from Raytown #391. We have continued to grow. At our last regular communication (01-15-15) we passed two Brothers. They are Brother Doug Jonesi and Brother Joseph Swalina. What made the night even better, was that both Brothers had people who were VERY special to them there. Brother Jonesi had a long time friend, and member of our lodge; Brother Rick Kingcade. Brother Swalina had his father, Brother Paul Swalina, there and his father is also a member of our lodge.

We continue to refer to each other as “Brother”, and this shows a strong family bond between men. I think that in this case we not only strengthened the bond between Brothers but we strengthened the bond in two families. When you see these new Fellow Crafts, be sure to congratulate them. They have earned the recognition. I am looking forward to seeing them both raised, and even more to their growth and involvement in the fraternity. Tom Saccardi
