Brothers, as you know, we are all members of one of the greatest and oldest fraternities in the world. A fraternity founded on the fundamental ideals of friendship, morality, and brotherly love. We are always trying to bring in new members but like all the other associations facing declining membership, ours has been slow in attracting new members. Yes, the one-day class brought in many new members, and was very successful, but we still need more active members for our fraternity to survive in the future.

Aside from new members, we also need you my brothers to come back to Lodge. Join us this year by again becoming active in our lodge, in Freemasonry. You will remember from our first-degree ritual we all swore to solicit the privileges of masonry, by a favorable opinion of the Institution, a desire for knowledge, and a sincere wish to be serviceable to your fellow creatures. There is so much excitement this year for doing many things. Our planned activities include Children’s Christmas Party, Prime Rib supper nights. We are also planning the Valentines Brunch, Golf Outing, a visit to Grand Lodge and Lexington, group dinners and social nights. The list goes on.

Come be a part of our lodge’s future, help us preach and live the tenets of our profession. Let your friends and neighbors know you are a Mason, and proud of it. Donate your time, support your lodge and be a part of Masonry that is growing as it once did. Early this summer the Lodge building will be celebrating 100 years old. Hope you will be part of the celebration.

We need your help and participation to attain these goals. Please try to attend just a few meetings and see what its like to be an active Mason again.
