First and foremost I would like to thank the members of
Washington Lodge
21 for their confidence in me. In the past, most Lodges look
to when the
Master plans his year. During my tenure at the helm, we will
build our year
together. I can not and will not run the lodge as if it were
mine alone. It is
our lodge and we succeed or fail together, as a team.
We will begin by expanding the role of the installed
officers. Yes, they have
their normal duties when the lodge is open. But they will
also be assigned
as Chairmen of Committees and will have overall authority
and responsibility to conduct the committee business. Other members of the
lodge may
be asked to become members of these committees and I hope
their support can be counted on. Committee assignments will evolve as the year
progresses and need requires.
To begin the year on a lean forward posture, all EA and FC
members will
be expected to attend on lodge meeting nights when possible.
This does
several things; first it gets the member used to attending
lodge on a regular basis. Secondly it allows fellowship among brothers and gets
everyone
acquainted.
Thirdly, while lodge is in session, the EA and FC members
will be in educational sessions as designed by the Counselor Corps. We have
much to
do and catch up on in the coming year. There are many
candidates waiting
in the wings and if we all put forth the effort I know we’re
capable of, our
ranks will swell with quality men. Plans are to do a degree
every meeting,
the candidate and which degree will be determined by the
counselors. I
have an open door policy for anyone to discuss any topic at
any time.
Again, thank you Washington Lodge 21. Together we can make
great
strides in the coming year.
Jeff Lancelle, Worshipful Master
