Thank you for your support and friendship as
we move ever along the level of time into 2012.
Another year has passed away and even as the
master represents the sun in the east rising each
new day, each year a new brother rises in the East
as a new master of the Lodge. This change reminds
us that each day can be new and different by our
own election. The past does not dictate the future –
unless we allow it to.
I am thankful for the great examples of our past
masters and hope to not detract from the quality of
the lodge but to help it continue to grow.
Regarding growth, I wish to continue our current
direction of growing the lodge by numbers unless it
is at the expense of the quality of the fraternity. We
do not recruit men to Freemasonry. We live our lives
in ways that inspire greatness and goodness in the
lives of our fellow man. If such are inspired by us and
wish to associate with us, we gladly open the doors.
We cannot control whether or not the Lodge will
grow in numbers. We can control whether or not our
lodge will grow in quality.
