My Brothers,
TikTok seems to know what’s happening in my life these days. For some reason, I keep getting videos in my feed about the planets and their path around the Sun. And, as much as I love the fall season and the holidays to come, I can’t help but feel a sense of sadness as my time in the East passes with every month. Being the Worshipful Master of St. John’s Lodge No. 11 is, hands down, my favorite Masonic leadership role. It has been my privilege to gavel our meetings, connect with each of you outside of Lodge Masonicly, and enjoy your Fellowship at our events this year.
I was recently asked what my plans are for next year. They are pretty simple: I will work hard to support the new Worshipful Master of our Lodge and continue to be a Brother who can be counted on.
As we approach the homestretch of this Masonic year, October will provide some Light and Brotherhood opportunities to enjoy! First, Bro. Jason Short will travel for a third time to visit St. John’s Lodge No. 11 to deliver his Masonic Mnemonics presentation. If you have ever wondered what tricks or tips exist to remember people’s names or commit ritual to memory – this program is for you! Secondly, I invite you to join my wife, Azad, and I for dinner and an October evening ghost tour in Old Town Alexandria on Saturday, October 12. The details are in the Trestleboard section of this bulletin. Due to reservation constraints, I ask that you R.S.V.P. before October 1 if you and your guest can join in the fun.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
W.B. Michael Arce
Worshipful Master
