PALM HARBOR, FL, USA (December 12, 2011) - Masons from Dunedin and around the county gathered
for their monthly Festive Board with their spouses. This month, the group celebrated the end of the year and
Christmas at the Dockside restaurant in Palm Harbor.
A group of 24 Masons and wives were on hand for the event. The Festive Board is a gathering of local Masons
who enjoy a social outing with their family and friends; it is not a Lodge sanctioned event.
Hosting the event was Dunedin's W:.Mike Palenik, PM,
and his wife Susan.
Guests were treated to a fine buffet dinner, several toasts, and a collection of "grab-bag" gifts.
In particular, W:.BJ "Mr. Potato Head" Sammon enjoyed his warm blanket which he was
proud to display (see photo).
Attendees had a great time winding down the Masonic year, and enjoying friendship.
As a special note: Thanks to Robin Panzanno for her fine desserts she made herself.

DUNEDIN, FL, USA (November 28, 2011) - As has become a tradition for the last seven years,
Dunedin Masonic Lodge No. 192 recognized a Pinellas
County Sheriff's Deputy for outstanding service to the community. The 2011 "Deputy of the Year" award
was presented to Deputy Tom Hoddinott at a special dinner held at Kally-K's Restaurant in Dunedin.
Making the presentation was W:.Ken Giesow, PM
of Dunedin Lodge. Also in attendance was Major Wayne Morris, Deputy Hoddinott's supervisor,
along with fellow officers from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, "Deputy Tom Hoddinott has been a Pinellas County Sheriff's
deputy since July 1985. He started out in the Detention and Corrections Bureau and has served in various
capacities with the agency including Patrol Operations and the Criminal Investigations Division where he worked in
the Property Crimes Section assigned to the City of Dunedin. He is currently assigned to the Patrol Operations Bureau
working out of the North District Station on Dayshift."
On August 26, 2011 Deputy Hoddinott was on patrol in the City of Dunedin driving north on
Pinehurst Road. Deputy Hoddinott noticed a suspicious vehicle backed into the driveway of a residence.
Upon investigation, he discovered and broke up a major marijuana farm being grown inside the residence.
Based on the Deputy's intuition, coupled with his many years of experience, resulted in an excellent
self-initiated criminal case being made. The male who burglarized the home was arrested for
Residential Burglary and Violation of Probation and the owner of the house was arrested for felony Manufacturing/Cultivation
of Marijuana. This subject was also currently on probation for a previous charge of Sale, Manufacture
and Delivery of Marijuana. The equipment used to grow the marijuana was disabled and 33 marijuana plants were
taken off the street. For this self-initiated act which contributed to a valuable law enforcement
accomplishment, and for the outstanding work he does every day, Deputy Hoddinott was nominated to be
Dunedin Lodge's Deputy of the Year.
For his efforts, Dunedin Lodge gave Deputy Hoddinott a dinner in his honor, awarded him a plaque, and a
gift of $100 which the Deputy immediately donated to the Florida
Sheriff's Youth Ranch which helps to prevent delinquency and develop strong, lawful, resilient, and productive
citizens who will make a positive contribution to our communities for years to come.
According to the Master of the Lodge, W:.Mike Palenik, PM "Dunedin
Lodge is proud of our long tradition of supporting local law enforcement personnel. On behalf of the Lodge, we
congratulate Deputy Hoddinott and thank him for his years of service and dedication. We are proud of the PCSO."

FLORIDA MASONIC ZONE 6 CHILD ID PROGRAM
RW Brooks (center) and his Child ID crew
|
DUNEDIN, FL, USA (August 27, 2011) -
With many county and local law enforcement agencies reducing their crime prevention programs, and, as a result,
eliminating or reducing their child identification programs, many schools, churches, and local governments are
looking to civic organizations to fill the void. Masonic Lodges throughout Florida are stepping up and providing
this free service to the communities they are a part of.Masonic Lodges from three different districts joined forces
and implemented the "Child ID Program" for 192 children in Pinellas County. The week prior to the start of school is
always a busy one for parents and their families. Zone 6 Districts 20, 21, and 23, held three "Child ID Program" events
on August 23rd, 27th, and 28th, at three different locations in Pinellas County.
On August 27th, 2011, the City of Safety Harbor, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, and the Safety Harbor Neighborhood
Family Center, held a "Back-to-School" backpack giveaway at the Safety Harbor City Park. Over 1000 backpacks were given away
at this event. Upon the request of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, the Zone 6 Masonic Lodges volunteered to implement
the "Child ID Program" at this event. With family members completing the registration forms, the children’s height and weight
was obtained, and then fingerprints and photographs were secured. Everything was then placed on a CD and given to the parents.
Over 60 children were processed through the Masonic Child ID Program on this day. Participating at this event from District 20
were Richard Brooks, DDGM, DDGM of District 20 and Honorary Member
of Dunedin Lodge, Chris Laughlin, B.J. Sammon, PM,
Ken Young, Mike Palenik, PM, and
Andy Van Arsdale from Dunedin
Lodge No. 192, Sean Meyenburg, Clearwater Lodge No. 127,
and Sergei Zhurkov, Sutherland Lodge No. 174. Representatives
from District 21 included, John Hickey, PDDGM, Star Lodge No. 78,
and Charlie Clinker, St. Petersburg Lodge No. 139. And finally, from
District 23, Zone 6 Child ID Program Chairman David Rasmus, Temple Terrace Lodge No. 330.
Also participating in this event were Kim and Christopher Laughlin, Sue Palenik, and Mrs. Charlie Clinker.
As the event wound down we were able to speak with Deputy Chuck Skipper from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office
Community Policing Unit. He was grateful that the Zone 6 Masonic Lodges had stepped up to the plate and agreed to
assist in this worthwhile event. As a former Crime Prevention Deputy for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, he
was truly impressed with the equipment used by the Masonic Lodges to perform this service to the community. Additionally,
he stated that the way the event was organized and operated was very impressive.
If interested in participating in these Child ID Programs in the future, please contact your District Child ID Program
coordinator.

that it is having a positive effect on encouraging the students to read. This is a program that
was originally created by Masonic Lodges in the western United States, but we're the first Lodge
to implement the program in Florida. All of the bikes were paid for by individual donations by members
of Dunedin Lodge."
Deputy Spencer Gross of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department was also on hand to give a
brief lecture on bicycle safety to the students and presented free bicycle helmets to the winners.
Dunedin Lodge is pleased with the results of the program and wants to perpetuate it
in the years ahead. According to the Master of Dunedin Lodge,

of public school systems, Dunedin Lodge is no exception. We are proud of our
relationship with Dunedin Elementary and pleased to support them not only with the
'Bikes for Books' but with other programs as well. Youth represents the future for
all of us. It is just common sense that we support them any way we can."

DUNEDIN, FL, USA (April 25, 2011) - Local Masons gathered to hold a Festive Board at
Dunedin Brewery featuring a Chili Cookoff.
Participating were Masons from Dunedin Lodge No. 192
and East Gate Lodge No. 355. Approximately
30 people attended the event which was organized by W:.Mike Palenik, PM,
Master of Dunedin Lodge, and featured six entries. Judging the competition was the District Deputy
Grand Master of the 20th Masonic District R:.W:.Bob Matheson, PM,
and his Marshall, W:.Richard Brooks. PM.
The judges evaluated texture, smell, ingredients, taste, and other criteria in order to render a
decision. This was a blind taste-test as the entries were numbered and the chefs unknown.
All entries were excellent and quite imaginative in their ingredients (particularly the
"Polish Chili").
The winning entry was from Dunedin's W:.Tim Bryce, PM
who was pleased to accept the award which carried a cash prize (which Bro. Bryce donated to charity).
The judges found his "Colon Blow" entry not too spicy, not too sweet; just right.
Local Masons hold a Festive Board on a monthly basis and welcome spouses, family, friends,
and candidates for the fraternity. This is not a Lodge sponsored event.
Congratulations one and all on a fine chili cookoff.
