I want to thank the Brothers of the First Westchester-Putnam Masonic Charity Corporation for electing me as the Masonic Charity Corporation President at our last meeting.  Please join me in congratulating all the newly elected officers to these positions.

 

1st Vice President - W :. Jovino - Paul Borero  

2nd Vice President - R:. W:. Donald Travis

Financial Secretary - R:. W:. Henry Battestin Jr.

Treasurer - W :. Glenn Phillips

 

The success of the MCC over the past few years has been the result of the diligent and tireless efforts of the previous officers and members who came before. Most recently my predecessor W:. Matthew Weiss who along with his officers raised the bar for all who dare to follow their path.

I applaud them for their efforts and I thank them for their continued support to the Masonic Charity Corporation.

The very essence of a fraternity is fraternalism—the sense of obligation to each other which makes us feel responsible for each other’s welfare. As the philosopher Starks pointed out, “I will forgive my friend and brother for refusing to share his triumphs and hoarding his joy, but his refusal to share his sorrows and pain comes nigh to unforgivable.” One of the most important principles of Freemasonry is charity.  Our organizations is based on taking good men and making them better fathers, husbands, and to support community service by helping others in need.

Each Mason has made a direct, unequivocal promise to God that we will care for our Brothers, and their wives, widows and orphans. And promises---especially those made to God---matter.

The Masonic Charity Corporation is the Charitable Organization to help Lodges fulfill that obligation. Lodges have always kept track of their members, helping when help was necessary. We are here to help those Lodges and support our Brothers, our Families and our Communities. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with the newly elected officers, the Benevolent Committee and all the other Brothers who are members of Masonic Charity Corporation.  I am also looking forwarding to working with all Lodges in the District to increase our Brothers active participation in the Masonic Charity Corporation.  We welcome suggestions, charitable requests, and, especially, attendance at our meetings, from all brethren. Thank You

Sincerely & Fraternally

W:. Frank J. Rendina,  President
