February

Greetings Brethren!

As we enter the month of February, I want to extend my sincere thanks to each of you for your continued dedication to our Lodge. Our most recent stated meeting required us to gather in the dining hall due to necessary repairs in the main Lodge room. I greatly appreciate the patience and flexibility shown by every Brother, which allowed our work to continue in harmony. It is moments like these that remind me of the strength and adaptability of our Fraternity.

I would like to offer special thanks to Brother Bill Woodward for the time and skill he devoted to repairing the Lodge floor. I also extend my gratitude to Brother James and Brother Jason Gerock for their efforts and hard work in the renovation of the Secretary’s office. Their willingness to give of their time exemplifies true Masonic labor. Because of Brothers like these, our Lodge continues to improve both in form and function.

During our last meeting, I shared a reading from scripture, 1 John 1:5–7, which reminds us that walking in the light brings fellowship and truth. This passage closely reflects our Masonic obligation to live uprightly and to support one another as Brothers. I also ask that you keep Brother Andy Baldwin and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they recover from the devastating house fire they recently endured. Any donations or assistance, of any kind, are deeply appreciated as we come together to support a Brother in need.

Fraternally yours,
Kevin Herring
