Caesarea Masonic Lodge No. 64 F&AM - 60 Osborn St., Keyport, NJ 07735

Brethren,

It is now September; we are coming out of the
darkness and back into the light. I hope everybody
had an amazing summer and I hope everybody is
just as excited as I am for the second half of the
masonic year. It’s time to forget about all the
cheeseburgers we ate this summer and get back to
work by wiping the darkness out of our eyes and
getting back on the level. There are a couple of
interesting things we can look at in the month of
September to motivate us. On September 22nd we
will have the Autum Equinox which is when the sun
sits evenly over the equator giving us an equal
amount of daylight and darkness. On this day the
world is equal so I hope that we can reflect on this
equinox about remembering that our masonic
principles shall extend further with all mankind,
especially the brethren. Also, on September 28th,
1916, a short cartoon “Bobby Bumps Starts a
Lodge” was released. I do not know if the producer
was a mason, however this cartoon contains
references to an apron, a goat, and the third degree.
This cartoon was fun to watch and shows brothers
assisting each other and going through initiation
with each other. So, give the cartoon a watch and
get ready to put back on your shirt and tie. I’m
looking forward to seeing everyone back in the
lodge for the remainder of the year.
Respectfully,

Christopher P. Menendez

Worshipful Master 2024
