Valentine’s Day Ladies Night

by
Happy Valentine's Day

On Valentine’s Day, Brothers, wives, and friends gathered together for a special dinner celebration. We cooked up a feast of surf and turf and set the table with flowers. As we enjoyed the delicious food, everyone shared stories of their past. We laughed, reminisced, and celebrated our friendships, thankful for the love and support we received from each other.  It was refreshing to have a meal and nobody was consistently checking their phones, however, nobody took any photos either.  Maybe next time!

The night ended with warm hugs and promises to do it again next year. As we left, we all felt grateful for the love in their lives, whether it be romantic or Brotherly. It was a Valentine’s Day to remember at Blazing Star Lodge.

Sad News To Report – Brother John T. Breth

by

It is my sad duty to report the passing of Brother John T. Breth Jr. Father to our Secretary W:. David Breth has put down his heavy Earthy working tools of life after 53 years as a Mason.

Our Brothers was born on January 27, 1932, and raised in C.G. Fox Lodge #0358 on November 7, 1969, (later consolidated into Ancient Landmarks #0358). He maintained his membership with Ancient Landmarks and was also affiliated with Blazing Star Lodge #0694 on April 13, 2010. He was a member of the Ismailia Shrine and was a 32nd Degree Mason in the Scottish Rite. Our Brother was Raised to the Celestial Lodge in the sky on January 27, 2023, at the age of 91. Our Brother worked the quarry for many years and leaves behind a great legacy. Thank you Brother for all of your contributions to Masonry and to the betterment of humanity. You can rest knowing your good works will live on for years to come.

Please join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to the Breth family in this difficult time.

“Well done thou good and faithful servant.  Enter thou into the joy of the Lord” Amen.

East Aurora 2022 Carolcade

by

The Brothers of Blazing Star Lodge #694 in East Aurora, New York teamed up with the East Aurora Cub Scout Pack #514 for the 2022 East Aurora Carolcade. The Scouts handed out sweet cookies while the Brothers handed out delicious hot cider generously donated by Mayer Bros. Before the night was complete 15 gallons of cider was passed out to the thirsty and cold carolers. Everyone had a great time and the scouts even signed up a few new cubs. We cannot wait until next year to do it again!
