Brethren,
I hope you plan to be in attendance on June 3, 2008
as our Lodge will be celebrating Junior Warden’s Night. It will be my privilege
and distinct honor to occupy the East for the evening. I extend a special
invitation to all Junior Wardens in the area to attend. My program is entitled
“Two High Speed Masons”.
I remind our brethren to search their hearts, and consider what they want for
the future of Henrico Union Lodge. Do you want it to die for lack of
nourishment, or do you want it to live, and grow back to its former glory? The
Lodge needs money to operate. Currently, we pay $5.66 per month to belong to the
greatest fraternity on earth. I'm asking you to increase that amount to $10 per
month to belong to the greatest fraternity on earth. Is that asking too much? I
think not! And we need members. Look around you for Masonic prospects. Your
grandson, your nephew, your neighbor's nephew, a young man in your church. Ask
them the question, "Why isn't a great young man like you in the Masons?" and see
what happens. The future of Henrico Union Lodge is in your hands. Don't drop it.
The following brethren are dealing with health issues at this time, and should remain in your prayers. Right Worshipful Larry Hardwicke, Worshipful Harvey Moore, Worshipful Stuart Thorpe, Brother Joe Hardwicke, Brother Corbin Cash, Brother Edward Burton, Jr., Brother Roy Bishop, and Brother Clifford Miller. Please keep all of our sick and distressed brethren, family and friends in your prayers.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Ernie Irby
Junior Warden

Brethren,
Thank you for your support so far this year. We are
endeavoring to make contact with each of our members and to keep in touch with
those who are ill and or distressed. Our Junior Steward, Brother Keith Carver
recently had his appendix burst and had to have it surgically removed. After a
hospital stay and some extreme discomfort, he is now recovering. Our Senior
Steward, Brother Joe Hardwicke is currently dealing with a knee injury that may
ultimately require surgery. We wish both Joe and Keith our very best. Worshipful
Terry Brown has been reported as somewhat improved. Mrs. Mildred Garrett at the
Masonic Home is not doing well and should remain in your prayers.
The following brethren are dealing with health issues and should remain in your
prayers. Worshipful Earl Worley, Worshipful Stuart Thorpe, Sr., Worshipful
Harvey Moore, Right Worshipful Larry Hardwicke, Brother Corbin Cash, Brother
Edward Burton, Jr., Brother Roy R. Bishop, and Brother Clifford Miller. Under
the category of good news, we extend congratulations to our Junior Deacon,
Brother Matt Stewart, who graduates from Virginia Tech on May 9th
with an Engineering Degree. We look forward to having Matt back in Lodge on a
regular basis. Please keep me informed of good
news as well as anyone whom you know that is sick or distressed. I urge you to
keep those listed above and all of our brethren in your thoughts and in your
prayers. Planning ahead, I ask that you put June 3rd on your
calendars as it will be Junior Warden’s Night, and yours truly will be in the
East for the evening. The program topic will be “Two High Speed Masons” and I
expect a fun and productive evening. Plan to attend, take part in all the good
work and fun that our Lodge is enjoying.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Ernie Irby
