Greetings, Brethren:
I hope you all had a great summer, and were able to rest and
refresh yourselves while we were Dark in July and August. We will resume
Labor Sept. 12, and likely will have plenty of work to do.
That includes, probably, a Fellowcraft Degree on our first night
back. We have several Entered Apprentices we need to Pass, and I would like
to get those cleaned up yet during my term in the East.
Also, if you currently occupy a chair, or expect to in the
future, I recommend you attend the Lodge Leadership and Planning Workshop
that will be held Sept. 15 at the Chippewa Falls Masonic Temple. This was
formerly called the Warden¹s Workshop; I attended it last year, and it is a
good experience for those who are looking to go through the Chairs.
On Sept. 12, I hope we will be distributing tickets for this
fall¹s Waffle Breakfast. The date and site for it are still unsettled, but
it appears likely it will be in early November.
Speaking of going through the Chairs, we are facing something of
a problem with our leadership positions. We congratulate Brother John
Berthold on landing a job, but unfortunately it likely will take him out of
town. With our current Senior Warden¹s work conflicts, this leaves us
effectively with only one elected officer, that being yours truly, available
for Stated Communications ‹ the constitutional minimum ‹ and a disruption in
our progression of officers. This will need to be addressed in the next two
months, before we elect officers for 2013.
In closing, I look forward to seeing you when we resume labor in
Sept. 12. We have some challenges ahead of us, and we will need all hands on
deck, or as many as can help, to deal with them.
Scott Thomson, W.M.
