Brothers, the years’ end draws near and my work within our lodge and this great fraternity is not finished. I don’t know if I could have accomplished all that was needed to be done in two years, but I have given my all and with the help of many others the following goals were realized:
1) The Lodge Officers and several members were present at the district meeting and we will receive the perfect attendance award.
2) All Lodge Officers, appointed and elected, were at their stations during the District Deputy Grand Masters visit.
3) We instituted a program to retain the interests of newly raised masons through mentoring and travel.
4) We maintained a positive membership growth.
5) All Lodge Officers and masons raised this year have received their master mason certificate of proficiency.
6) We continue to hold our open meeting dinner functions including the Past- Masters and Thanksgiving/awards programs.
7) Our awards program will be expanded this year as to recognize as many masons as possible for their contributions to our lodge this year.
8) All elected Lodge Officers attended Masonic education programs offered by Grand Lodge.
9) All Officers were present at open installation (our Tyler was serving our country in the military).
10) The scholarship program was continued and awarded two scholarships.
11) The police and fire chiefs each spoke and received a certificate of appreciation for their service to our community at a dinner provided in their honor.
12) The food drive continues to be supported by our lodge brothers.
