I hope everyone had an enjoyable and refreshing summer. As we
approached the fall session I would like to thank all the brothers for
their support and assistance in the past few months. Harmony Lodge
would not be as strong and successful if it was not for its members.
My goal in these past few months was to stimulate growth in membership
and have interesting programs. We have been increasing our
participation in our meetings and through our members, several
prospective candidates have petitioned our lodge. We also have received
several petitions through the Grand Lodge coming from requests through
the internet. As you will see in our trestle Board, we had to add
another Thursday for each month, including a Saturday session on 11/17
to accommodate these candidates in joining our lodge. I know this will
be difficult for some members, but in the end it will benefit the
lodge. Let�s all make an effort to attend the ceremonies and take part
in the degree work. If all members can come to rehearsal it would make
the night more enjoyable for all as it would be rewarding for the
candidates and our members.
I
will continue to strive to have interesting programs for our stated
communications. These guest speakers will present various topics of
entertainment and resourceful information. I hope all members will
attend for good company and refreshments.
P.M. Paul
Iltchenko will start up his computer classes for the fall session. It
should be very informative for members who need to get more acquainted
with the computer and learn valuable skills. Check our web page for
time and dates, or contact P.M. Paul Ilchenko for the schedule of these
computer classes.
I also encourage all members to contact
Brother Dennis Cyr to make reservations for dinner, so we can be
prepared for all who choose to attend.
Finally, I would like to
express my gratitude to the brothers who have supported and assisted me
during the past few months. It has made my term enjoyable and
rewarding. I could not have accomplished the tasks without the
knowledge and support you have given me. I continue to look forward
for your support, advice and knowledge that you have brought to me and
this lodge, and I look forward to seeing you all at lodge this fall
session.
Worsdshipful Master
