Dear Brothers,
Spring is most certainly here! I want to thank you all for the kind words about our own Pawtucket #3 Rainbow Girls Worthy Advisor. I am humbled by your words of support for the Rainbow Members, and I am truly thankful to have shared the evening with all three of my daughters. They each mentioned at least one Mason who made the effort to chat with them. Your efforts and outreach made their night!
Here is a quick recap since my last message:
A few of our officers were able to make it to the St. Paul’s District Deputy Grand Master Visit by our soon to be DDGM Mazen S. Alsabe. We also made strong showings at the St. Johns 1P and Overseas Lodge visits and got to say goodbye to our own Brother (and) District Deputy Grand Master for the Metropolitan District, Stephan H. Saraidarian. We also spent a great evening with MWGM:. Andre H. Faria Jr. at his visit to his mother Lodge, St Johns #1 in Portsmouth.
Coming up:
Our next Stated Communication will be on Memorial Day, May 26th, 2025. We will open at 9:00am and go to recess to allow any brothers who wish to march in the parade to do so. We are excited to have the Shrine, and our Adelphoi #33 Brothers join in our festivities for the day. During the parade we will be hosting an open house with our Adelphoi brothers and handing out water to our visitors while they await the parade to pass by. We intend to host our visitors and guests for a joint cookout thrown by Adelphoi and Jenks Brothers. Our speaker this month will be Brother Kyle Gamache. Brother Gamache will be presenting on Mental health and Stress.
I want to send a special thank you to our Jenks Brother, Illustrious Potentate of the Rhode Island Shrine, Nicholas Oliver. His efforts to support the Riverside Memorial Parade have been instrumental.
Our Potluck for this month will be held on Sunday May 18th, @ 5:00pm I look forward to seeing you!!

Something to think about:
In our Craft, the work we do—whether in ritual, fellowship, or service—only succeeds when we each do our part with care and commitment. The small details matter. They show respect for our tradition, and more importantly, for each other. It’s not about one man standing out—it’s about many Brothers working together as one. When we all step up, stay humble, and focus on the work, the lodge thrives. Pride has no place in the Lodge; effort, unity, and brotherly love do. Let’s keep putting in the work, side by side.
Yours in the Craft,
Brian K. White, WM
