As we welcome a New Year, we also welcome opportunities for new adventures and new members into our fraternity. I am proud to be a member of Masonry in this jurisdiction.

At our last Grand Lodge Session, we had doubled the number of Lodges that had positive membership growth – In 2023, there were 40 Lodge that had positive growth, and at our last session, there were 80 Lodges.

Brethren, we are fulfilling one of our main purposes as members of this fraternity – to make new Masons. Through our marketing firm and your efforts in contacting those who inquire about joining, we are growing.

I hope every Lodge and member embraces what we stand for and who we are. Wear your pins, your Masonic hats and shirts, and put that emblem on your vehicle, but remember –you’re a MASON. Let your actions show your pride and devotion to our craft!
