Past Master Night on 10/09/2024
Unity No. 148 Grand Lodge Of Connecticut, A.F. & A.M. |
Greetings Brother Past Masters! I am excited for our upcoming Past Masters evening at Unity Lodge on Tuesday October 15, 2024. Dinner will be served at 6:30pm and our meeting will begin at 7:30pm. We will be recognizing and celebrating our Past Masters of Unity Lodge. One of the main events of the evening will be an opportunity for each Past Master to present a brief (~5-10 minutes max) summary of the highlights of your year, including any special events or programs you put on, any notable Brothers that were raised that year, or any other highlights you would like to share with the Brothers of the Lodge. I would also love it if each Past Master would bring and wear their Past Masters apron that evening and your hat (if you still have it) which you can wear during your time of presentation. The main idea for this program is twofold. Firstly, to allow each Past Master the opportunity to share their accomplishments to Unity Lodge and have a time of pride and honor. Secondly, we have a line of officers who are going to be Masters for the first time. It's a fantastic opportunity for each Brother to listen to the programs and events that you put on during your year as well as to ask questions if any arise. My hope is it will help them begin to brainstorm ideas and projects for their year in the East. I look forward to seeing each of you at our next meeting! Please let our Secretary know if you will be attending so we can plan accordingly. If you are unable to attend and you want to share something please pass it along to our Secretary. Fraternally, WB Brian Tardif |
