W. Bro. Mark Edward Pearlstein
Brethren:
As we grow older, we gather health problems, some more serious than others. Our immediate families
know of these health problems and give us aid and comfort as best as they can. We too, are part of a
fraternal family to our ailing brethren and as your Chaplain and the current Chairman of the Caring
Committee, I have undertaken to send out comfort letters to our Brethren or their immediate family on behalf
of our entire Lodge as the situation calls for. I will also respond accordingly for happy occasions.
My effort on behalf of our Lodge does not go unnoticed or unappreciated by the recipients or their families
and I have been so advised either verbally or in writing.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I must relinquish the duties of sending Amicablegrams
as needed or requested. Bro. Bob Rascovar who succeeded me as Amicablegram Chairman has notified me
that he is unable to continue in that position within our Lodge because he is preparing himself to move up
the “chairs”. Bro. Ryan Berman has consented to take over the chair. I trust that all who wish to take
advantage of fulfilling our obligation towards charity will support his efforts in his effort. You may contact
him directly via phone or E-mail.. All requests made through our Web site will be processed through
our Webmaster.
Amicablegrams@yahoo.com
When we are advised of the need, we will respond accordingly. I am calling for our Brethren to be
our emissaries. I, nor Bro. Bob are not a committee of one and we need the entire Lodge membership to be
our eyes and ears for brethren in need of comfort or shared joy. This is our obligation and yours too.
Fraternally,
Bro. Fred Tepper
