FROM THE EAST
Wow!!
I cannot describe the feeling of looking from the stage into a room filled with over 500 brothers and their guests other than “Wow”.
It was reported by the Arrangements Committee what the reception last Saturday for our Brother and the Grand Master Lenoard Vander Horn was the largest that any could recall. All I know was that as I lead the events for the evening, I was impressed at the huge turnout.
Several messages have been received of behalf of and from the Grand Master as to how impressed he was with the event. I am truly glad that I was able to play a small part in leading the host Lodge.
Normally, this message is to the members of Clifton Lodge, but I would be remiss if I did not thank the Grand Lodge Arrangements Committee for all of their hard work to make this event a success.
I would also like to thank the members of my officer line and other brothers of the Lodge that traveled to Burlington, NJ for the event. I assure you it was a highlight of my year so far, and a highlight of my time as a member of our fraternity.

Masters Message
Greetings Brothers,
This month’s light is about commitment. As Masons, our motto is to “make good men better “. But first, we need to be better men ourselves. It starts from within. Our word is our bond and so it’s important that we let our yes mean yes.
When we agree to an assignment, we must do our due diligence to either complete the task or to continue working on it. If we don’t finish or even start the task, we are not living up to our motto. We cannot make men better while not making ourselves better.
So brothers make yourself better and uphold your commitments and finish your tasks. In the end, as we improve, we can set an example. And as we get better, we are able to make other men better.
In Brotherhood,
WB Anthony Clemente
Worshipful Master, 2024
