Master's Message to the Craft

January 5th, 2012

Brethren,
     I am honored that you have allowed me the opportunity to serve as Master of Messalonskee Lodge for 2012. I’m looking forward to visiting with all of you in lodge and for any of you that are unable to attend lodge, please let me know and I will make every effort to make a home visit if you would like.

     Lodge has been very busy with degree work the last few years and I hope to continue that work this year. That being said, Masonry is about more than just ritual and degree work, it also includes fellowship, fun and the opportunity to learn from our fellow brethren and others. It is my intent to make this an interesting and exciting year with new events (Our first Table Lodge, host a degree for DeMolay and/or the Rainbow girls), an interesting speaker or two on topics that interest the brethren and of course discussions and work on the many programs already in place (MECHIPs, Messalonskee Lodge scholarship program, Bikes for Books and visiting our veterans at Togus). There truly is something for everyone and I hope that all the brethren that can, will plan to attend at least one meeting or event during the year.

     So please join me sometime this year, I promise to extend my right hand in continuation of my brotherly love and friendship as will the rest of the officers of Messalonskee Lodge, and I promise the opportunity to enjoy a time of fellowship with your friends.

With fraternal regards,
Brett E. Hoskins
Worshipful Master
