WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE

WB WILLIAM L DORMAN JR.

 

Brethren

 

We all have taken on certain obligations to live to a standard that may not always be the easy way.  However, we need to stand strong for our beliefs and continue to support the right of others to follow theirs.  Some of us have taken on positions in the lodge that require even more of our attentions.  The Masonic Year is nearing its end. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.  Please fulfill your promise and make every effort to do yourself as well as our Lodge proud.

 

I wish to thank those of you that helped in the Master Mason Degree of September 18th.  I have received many compliments on your work.

 

I am equally thankful to those visiting brothers that helped as well JOB WELL DONE!

 

God Bless you all.    

 WB William L. Dorman Jr.                    Worshipful Master
