Gentlemen/Brothers;

MMy Brother’s, where is the time going? It felt like just the other day when we
embarked on a new year of Engagement. We collectively have demonstrated to the
highest degree the example of Masonry. I am extremely proud of the way this lodge
conducts it self while in session and when interacting with the public. The old stigma’s of
masonry, and the fear it presented is not there. Yet organizations and people in our
Communities see us for what we truly are, and in turn see what masonry is all about. An
organization that is all about. “Making Good men even Better”.

We have a lot of work to do in the coming months. We have many candidates
progressing very nicely through various degree’s in their masonic journey. It is all of our
responsibility to ensure that their path is both rewarding and memorable. I challenge
each and every one of you to help make their journey rewarding. It is our responsibility to
raise and cultivate the next generation of leaders for this lodge and for the Fraternity.
Remember they look to us to teach them correctly and with the highest standard.
Remember the word I used in January’s message “keeping everyone engaged”. Chip off
that ruff ashlar and become active. Don’t just wear the title but exemplify the role.

I am both Humbled and Blessed to be here before you today to sit in the East and help
lead this wonderful lodge forward.

Thank You and May God Bless

Whorshipful Master
