~@mJ@~i@~ A Message From
Brethren,
The first quarter of the year is over and Nellis is off to a good start. In the second quarter we will be holding our Rifle Raffle (April 4th), attending the Helldorado Days Parade (May 14th), and holding Table Lodge (June 21th) as well as visiting some of our sister lodges.
In February we celebrated Bro. George Washington's birthday and in March the Rainbow girls gave a wonderful presentation on the background and history of their organization. They were presented with a donation on behalf of Nellis. Many of our Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts have been advancing steadily through the degrees with the steady help of our coaches - and of course with the help and guidance of our Education Chairman, WB Jerry McCorkle! We have been fortunate to welcome back a few Brothers who had to step away for a while and it has been a pleasure to do so. Continuing with March's theme of "Bring a Brother to Lodge" we ask that at any time you recognize the opportunity to help a Brother attend to please do so. Sometimes all a Brother needs is that one helping hand. See in you in Lodge!
Sincerely, Dennis G. Tyson
the Secretary Those of you who have been members of Nellis for the past ten years know that if I write something in the Trestleboard it usually means that the Lodge is in need of something. That is exactly the reason I am writing. As of March 15th the Lodge still has not received dues from 35 members. 16.5% of the membership have not paid their dues for 2016. Of that, 8 are in jeopardy of being suspended for non-payment of dues. This translates to a total of $3,655.00 that should be in the Lodge account. I sent out second dues notices in February and only 3 Brothers remitted. This is disturbing! Please check your dues card, If it doesn't say 2016 on it you probably need to pay your dues. You can pay on line, I will take a card at the office or at any meeting. And of coarse you may pay with cash. Fraternally, Jim
Continued From Last Mont'-Bylaws Article XI through XIV ARTICLE XI Dues SECTION I. The Dues for each member of this Lodge shall be fifty-five ($55.00) dollars per year plus Grand Lodge per capita and any Grand Lodge expenses passed to the Lodge commencing January 1 of each year. "Amended May 18, 1984 & Apri/2, 2013" SECTION II. Any member of the Lodge against whom charges are not pending and whose dues and indebtedness to the Lodge are paid may withdraw from membership by presenting. a written application therefor at a Stated Communication. The Lodge shall grant the request of the Brother by dropping his name from the rolls and his membership shall be thereby be terminated, and he shall be subject to the disabilities of an unaffiliated Master Mason; provided, however, that an elected officer cannot withdraw.
ARTICLE XII Representatives to the Grand Lodge The Master, Senior Warden, Junior Warden and such other representatives as shall be authorized by the Lodge to attend the communications of the Grand Lodge shall receive such sums of money as shall be determined by the vote of the Lodge at any Stated Communication to assist in defraying expenses of such attendance.
ARTICLE XIII 25-Year Jewel Any member in good standing in Nellis Lodge No. 46 who has served Masonry for 25 consecutive years shall be presented with a jewel by the Lodge in commemoration thereof, with said jewel shall properly denote such period of service; providing such member shall not have been expelled during said period. Amended: June 6, 1976
ARTICLE XIV Relief The Master shall have power to draw upon the Treasurer for any sum, not exceeding fifty dollars ($50.00) at anyone time, for the relief of a distressed worthy Brother, his wife, widow or orphan.
Happy March Birthdays!!
