FROM YOUR SECRETARY

Brethren - Due to my new work obligations, I am finding it increasingly difficult to serve this Lodge as its Secretary.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this position and its responsibilities and it is with regret that I ask the Lodge to look to any interested Brethren to carry the torch from 2006. If you are interested, please contact me or the Worshipful Master.

WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE

RIGHT WORSHIPFUL BROTHER

FRANK J SCHMUTZ SR

Brethren

            Well it's that time of year again that we elect a new line of officers. We will also have balloting on suspension of non-payment of dues. Both of these will take place at our first meeting, please make every effort to attend.

            I wish W/B Russ and his line of officers the very best in their year. I wish to thank all the members of Williamstown Lodge for allowing me the privilege of serving as your Worshipful Master this year, although on a personal note I've had mixed emotions one of which I probably will not look back on with the fondest of memories. My many thanks to all my officers for their generous support and fine work they have given to me and Williamstown Lodge.

            To all of the committees who have given so unselfishly of themselves this year, a heart felt thank you.

            To all the brethren I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year !!!

            To all our sick and distressed brethren I send my prayers and hope for a speedy recovery.

Fraternally yours:

RWB Frank J Schmutz Sr.                     Worshipful Master

Attest: E. Gallagher PM Secretary
