A message from the Worshipful Master
Manasseh Family, I want to be the first to say “Thank You” for all your support, service, and assistance this last Masonic Year. As a first-time Master, I was very unprepared for all the support, assistance, and fellowship that this Lodge has shown my family and I, and we are forever grateful for the people we have met, shared time with, and all the new members of our larger family.
We started this new Masonic Year off running! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our December Stated Communication, and for our Installation of Officers. Congrats to each and every one of you for choosing to give of your time and talents to help our Lodge grow! I very much look forward to this next year of service with all of you.
December has only just begun, and we already have lots of irons in the fire. On December 11, we will have our annual visit from Santa Claus, and enjoy fellowship and food at our Annual Lodge Family Holiday Party! The attire of the day is Ugly Christmas Sweaters, so the uglier the better!
At the end of this month, we will be hosting the first of two Feast of St. John’s Table Lodges, be on the lookout for an invitation shortly.
Finally, I want to extend a hearty congratulations to Right Worshipful Clancy Nidell, two-time Past Master of our Lodge and one of the best examples of living as a Freemason that you can find. We wish you well in this year of service to the Craft!
May the Great Architect of the Universe continue to keep you, hold you in His embrace, surround you with Providence, and bestow unto you the blessings of Brotherly Love and genuine affection.
Yours in Brotherhood,
Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
