A hearty November greeting to you all my brothers. Fall has been busy for our lodge in a number of ways. Seasonal change is in the air and our lodge follows suit with continued progression to a new lodge building and new members joining our fraternity. This past evening’s stated meeting included balloting on a new petitioner, a vote to accept a new lodge member transferring from another area lodge, and a well-performed Fellowcraft degree for Brother Luke Stephen Meyer. An entered apprentice degree will be conducted October 24th for our new petitioner.
As typical, we are busy my brothers. None of it could be accomplished without the support of ALL brothers that are actively involved in lodge functions at all levels. A sincere “Thank You” to all. Change is not always pleasant. October also brought some difficult news for us to deal with. Brother Stephen Britton lost his lady Emily Flood to a tragic brain injury. Emily was a frequent visitor to our lodge and graced us with her infectious smile and warm personality on many occasions. She will be missed.
Elections for our 2019 Masonic Year will be held during the November 7th stated meeting. I will be stepping aside after an enjoyable and busy term as Master for this past year. Open floor nominations will be accepted for Master, Junior Warden, Senior Warden, Secretary and Treasurer. Private balloting will secure final elections. I look forward to our new cast of elected officers and appointed positions.
We have a host of Masons that have yet to venture into the role of holding a formal position in lodge and I encourage all of them to consider filling a chair. It is truly a rewarding experience. An enjoyable November to all of you, my brothers.
