Words from our Master

Brethren,

The new year is upon us and the holidays are history, I trust you all had a great time with family and loved ones. A ‘Thank You’ to all who helped make the Shop with a Cop breakfast a success.

We all owe our J.W., Bro. Michael Landals, a pat on the back for the great Christmas party. Although truth be told, I am sure his wife, Kaitlin, deserves much of the thanks. Let’s all thank our Tyler, M.W.B. Jim Easterling and his lady Lynne for setting up and decorating the tree.

We have a very busy month planned as we embark on the quest for the Grand Master’s Award. We will have a Master Mason degree to raise a new brother, with a young brother presiding, you don’t want to miss it!

There will be practice in the EA degree (our inspection degree), as well as a very important officers meeting. Also, our Officers and Past Masters dinner will be this month. Details will be revealed at the officers’ meeting. All past masters are invited, just call me for details and to RSVP.

Inspection season starts this month. The Grand Master requires two brothers to attend each lodge in the district for the award. I am planning to attend all but 1, anyone who would like to ride along, just let me know.

Remember our Grand Master’s theme, “Be Legendary”

Fraternally,

Robert G. Marquis Sr., P.M.
