The Grand Standard 

Saint John's Day is a special day for Masons all over the world. It is a time for all in the Craft to gather and celebrate all that it is to be a Freemason. In New York we are so luck to have the Masonic Care Community in Utica. This amazing campus is home to many of the Grand Lodge of New York's charitable efforts. The Masonic Home, the Masonic Medical Research Lab,  the physical collection of the Livingston Library , the famous Tompkins Chapel,  and the historic Knight Templar Building. If you have not taken the time to visit your Masonic Care Community you are shorting yourself - take a look at all you are missing http://www.masonichomeny.org.

This Saint John's Day was historic for a few reasons. First, our Grand Master , the Most Worshipful William J. Thomas, went out of his way to build an event that was much more family centered then in past Saint John's days. Events were held for people of all ages, with a special section for the Might Run coming up in September. Second, this was on of the few times in recent memory that Assistant Grand Lecturer were not only invited but obligated by the Grand Lecturer and received by the Grand Master. This was a very big deal as our very own Very Wor. Daniel J. Di Natale has been appointed as A.G.L of First Erie. All appointed and elected officers from the Eire Districts were there and it was just wonderful. As always the hospitality rooms were amazing and the fellowship epic. If you missed it next year do yourself the favor and go. It is worth every minute and it is your right as a Mason to travel. So get to it!

At St. John's Day Very Wor. Di Natale was able to deliver the $1000.00 check for the Masonic Care Community The R.J.K.F.C raised at the Bar Takeover. After speaking with Right Wor.  Jones, the Care Community needs more service from all of us. They have a wish list of needs. They think our efforts would be best spent in helping them get something off that list. I know we are all up for the challenge! Lets help our Masonic Care Community!
