A Message from the East

Having been on this course for quite some time learning, watching, and listening, I am of course humbled and nervous to take on such a responsibility, but I am ready to serve.

I am blessed to have been elected at this time because of all the efforts over the last handful of years from so many of you and especially some Past Masters who jumped in to “right a listing ship.” Many thanks to all -- you know who you are. Our core of officers is what every Master could wish for. The pool of young Masons in the wings is equally deep. The energy that can be felt in our Lodge warms the heart of anyone who enters.

Serving as Sr Warden, with Bruce’s guidance, has been truly wonderful. Again I am lucky to have been following such a good example and will do my best to leave the Lodge better than I was charged with. Thank you Bruce.

Prayer before dinner: I would like to invite everyone to the dining room at 6pm for the Prayer prior to proceeding thru the chow line. I believe this will keep distraction to a minimum for the purpose of everyone being engaged in our Blessings.

As it has been stated by others, we have a full calendar for the coming months for degree work. To make sure that the candidates receive proper education. I am asking for Mentors to step forward from the brethren. We need the more experienced brothers to not only take a candidate but also help by taking one of our newer brothers by the hand and show them how and why Millersville #126 got it’s dynamic reputation. Step up and be counted. We already have a full schedule.

I also am looking to reintroduce our Euchre night. But as I want to involve more people I will be letting our recruitment team, Chris & Andy, open the night to other types of games. Poker, Backgammon maybe even MouseTrap.! Come and join in the Fun.
