Brethren,
I’m truly humbled to have the opportunity to address you from the East and sit as your Worshipful Master for the 2023 Masonic year. This installation ceremony was one for the ages and will be a memory that I’m not soon to forget.
Over the past several years, we have come together to accomplish so much for our Lodge, and I feel that we have the momentum to continue our path toward becoming a shining example of education and fellowship for all Lodges throughout the Grand Jurisdiction. Of note, most recently is our move to Almas Shrine which could not have happened without the support and dedication of the relocation committee and Pilar Officers. Congratulations on the success of years of hard work. The new location has so much to offer, and I’m filled with excitement about all of the possibilities.
This year, I have several initiatives that will allow us to reinvest in our Lodge, creating and reviving new and everlasting traditions that will bring our Brethren and their families closer together. Lodge and family movie nights, a game night, a whiskey tasting, and a pinball tournament are just some of the events on the agenda. In addition to fellowship, I plan to appoint a working committee that will be responsible for the creation of education materials that shall be used for new brothers and their mentors. My hope is that this will allow for a more uniformed approach to our Masonic education, thereby making better Masons. Should you have interest in serving on, or working with, this committee I ask you to reach out to me directly.
Finally, as a reminder, we meet every Thursday at 8:00 PM on the Lodge Discord server to discuss upcoming events, practice ritual, or simply convene for fellowship. I encourage everyone who has interest to attend. 2023 is going to be an amazing year, and I’m excited that I get to labor with such a fantastic Lodge.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
WB James M. Hall
Worshipful Master
