Message from the East

Brethren,

I just want to say “Thank You” for allowing me to serve in the East again. Like each of you, I have a deep affection for our Lodge. With your help I hope we can continue to strengthen all aspects of our Lodge, making our Masonic experiences enjoyable and rewarding.

I also want to express my deep appreciation to the Officers and members who assumed positions of responsibility for this coming year. Like many other lodges, we haven’t been immune to the difficulties in filling leadership roles. But thanks to the efforts of our Past Masters and others, we’re now on an upward trend. The current Lodge Officers are outstanding men who stepped up to the challenge. They have the “fire” to lead our lodge; we just need to give them our support and positive mentoring.

Please let our Lodge Officers know how much you appreciate their efforts.
January is going to be a great month. Bro. Mark Chapman, our Secretary, will present an educational program at our Stated about the Gothic Stained Glass Guild’s Influence on Freemasonry. Our Grand Master, Most Worshipful William Talbott Ellison, Jr. will make his Official Visit to our District on the 17th. And we’re planning degree work as well.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me (MGriffin@TGBLaw.com, 434-981-5428) or our Lodge Secretary, Bro. Mark Chapman (agw123@earthlink.net, 434-971-1332) if you need assistance. We’re always available to help.

Fraternally,

Bro. Mike Griffin
Worshipful Master
