A message from the Worshipful Master
Summer is here and I hope everyone is enjoying the summertime traditions that make this season so much fun. The harsh lessons of the summer of 2020 helped us all gain a grateful perspective and a new appreciation of what it means to be free. I hope everyone sets aside time this summer enjoying the returned freedom to fellowship with your Masonic family. Stay safe and I hope to you soon!
