A treasurer’s dream

 

I fell asleep the other night,

And while I had my snooze,

I dreamt each member stepped right up

And promptly paid his dues.

But when I found `twas but a dream

I nearly threw a fit;

It`s up to you to make it true-

Suggestion-“please remit”

Brief History of LodgeThorntree                        

The name Thorntree comes from a tree that was standing during the Battle of Prestonpans in the year 1745 and was used as a focal point. The Lodge has 'Working Tools' made from the timbers of the tree when it was cut down.

Our meetings are held within our own premises which we acquired in 1950, before that our meetings were held in various buildings in the town of Prestonpans.

During our symbolic formation, The Provincial Grand Lodge of East Lothian did not function, therefor the Provincial Master of Midlothian and his Office Bearers formed the Lodge. We have remained within the Provincial of Midlothian ever since.

Smile

 

Smiling is infectious,

you catch it like the flu.

When someone smiled at me today

I started smiling too.


As I passed around the

Altar and a Brother saw my grin.

When he smiled

I realised, that I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,

then I realized its worth.

A single smile just like mine,

could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.

Let's start an epidemic quick,
      and get the world infected!
