Worshipful Master's Message for December, 2002

Dear Brethren,

           We have come to the close on another outstanding Masonic Year. The special events as well as the stated and extra meetings were well attended. From the New York City, Atlantic City, and Elizabethtown bus trips to the Ladies Nite, Golf Outing, and Annual Banquet events were all special and memorable times I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life. I would like to thank the Brethren, Officers. Past Masters, Committee Members, friends, and family for making these events and my tenure as Worshipful Master possible and successful.

            At the December Stated Meeting, we will be holding the election and installation of officers for next year. The meeting will start promptly at 7:00 P.M. Please come out and show your support for these officers. If you do not want to come out to give them your best wishes, at least come for the Steward's report at Wert's Cafe after the meeting.

            One final request I have is that the Lodge needs someone to head the Friend to Friend program. Anyone interested please contact me, or the incoming Worshipful Master, Warren D. Wademan.

            In closing, I would like to comment on how much I have enjoyed being Greenleaf Lodge's Worshipful Master for 2002. Words cannot express how much I have enjoyed my trek through the chairs and how much it has helped me grow as a Mason and as a human being. So many people have touched my life and inspired me to be a better man and for that I thank you.

Happy Holidays And A Prosperous New Year!
