Brothers of Lodge I am speaking today about the year ahead of us, as you know I’ve been pretty busy trying to help AJ from Wadsworth 25 to get the Masters and Wardens Association of Northern Nevada up and running. We have made a lot of contacts with different lodges and their Masters and Wardens, and we seem to be of the same mind of the direction in which we would like to see happen this year. Our first meeting is set for the first Saturday in March location to be announced. We have good reply from the Masters and Wardens for a good turnout. We are confident that we will receive many great ideas for future events and what might possibly be done to better the brotherhood. It was Brother AJ’s idea to get the Masters and Wardens Association going again and upon talking to him I gave him my 100% support and I’m looking forward to garnering the support of the Brothers of our Lodge to make this a successful venture.

I have submitted the appreciation letter of invite to Worshipful Master Brian Markowski to participate in a combined Fellowcraft degree on February 21st. I am confident that Brother Ron LeBleu will be ready to give his proficiency at our February Stated meeting and be thereby ready for the upcoming second degree. He has worked long and hard to get to this point. I would especially like to thank Brothers Bobby Hall and John Little for all of their help with coaching and mentoring Brother LaBleu.

Looking forward to seeing all the Brothers in Lodge for our February Stated meeting.
