Brethren,   FYI-Very-Very important request!
Our Second Erie District, Masonic Military Outreach and Veterans Affairs Chairman, Brother David Peters has set up a date at the Veterans Hospital to distribute items that were purchased through our Masonic Brotherhood Fund for our Veteran’s that are currently patients at the Veterans Hospital on Bailey Ave.
 
Brother Dave needs our help distributing the items; please read his message and request and then share with the Brethren in our lodges.

It is my sad duty to report the passing of Past Master Paul Cochran. Brother Cochran put down the working tools of life on November 17th. Hewas raised to the degree of Master Mason on December 7th, 1949 and served as Master of Blazing Star Lodge in 1990. Brother Cochran was very active within our lodge until health issues prevented him from coming

In recent years. He assisted in many degrees well into his 80’s and stood as Tyler for nearly 20 years. Brother Cochran also was in Commandry and Royal Arch Masons. Paul was a very nice man, and very good Mason. He will be missed.
