LOOKING TO THE WEST

Greetings Brethren,

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and reflection—values that resonate deeply within Freemasonry. As the natural world awakens and blossoms, so too are we reminded of our own journeys toward light, knowledge, and self-improvement. Just as the working tools guide us in shaping stone into something meaningful, this season encourages us to refine our character, strengthen our bonds of brotherhood, and recommit ourselves to the principles we hold dear.

The month of May holds several important dates for our fraternity, offering opportunities to gather, celebrate, and learn new things to draw on our trestle board!

As we move through this vibrant season, let us embrace the spirit of growth and harmony that surrounds us. May we continue to build not only with our hands but with our hearts —lifting one another and striving always toward the betterment of ourselves and the world around us.

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” — Margaret Atwood

Fraternally,

Michael C. Landals
