As November dawns upon us, we are nearing the completion of our 2026 Masonic year. November is the month where we remember to give thanks to all that is near and dear to us. As Worshipful Master, I am personally thankful to all my Officers, members, appendant bodies, and all other Masons in our District that helped make our 2026 year a wonderful year. However, we still have a lot going on for this month.

Our October Stated Communication went extremely well. We had a delicious dinner provided by Prince William DeMolay, so I want to say thank them again to them for doing that. We had an entertaining program prior to the meeting with Masonic Ghost Stories and our educational program during the Stated Meeting was provided by Worshipful Brother Tom Costis.

This month, prior to our Stated Communication, will be the annual Grand Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Virginia the weekend of the 6th and 7th in November. As a result, our Stated Communication will take place the following Friday on the 13th. Our dinner will be provided by the Manassas Rainbow Assembly 13. Our educational program will be by Brother Henry Mottesheard, our Senior Steward. His presentation is entitled: The Middle Chamber: Ascent, Wages, & Wisdom.

May the Great Architect of the Universe bless you with wisdom to guide your actions, strength to support your labors, and beauty to inspire your works.

"When man reaches new worlds, Masonry will be there."

Yours in Brotherhood,
