MASTER'S MESSAGE
Brothers of Weston #22,
I hope and trust you all had a wonderful Holiday Season with family and friends. I would like to start off 2023 by thanking you for trusting me with being your Worshipful Master for this year. I do not take this huge honor lightly. I have planned for this year and hope that it meets with your high expectations.
The word for 2023 is COMMUNICATION, I would like us to all reconnect and stay informed throughout the year. I have attached a calendar for 2023 to use as a guide for planning. Things will change as new members arrive and degree work unfolds, but this gives us a framework from which to work.
There is a need for members to take up positions on committees this year and we need volunteers. Please try to help Weston flourish by taking on a new role within the lodge whether it be big or small. The more brothers who involve themselves with lodge workings the stronger the lodge becomes. If you are interested in getting involved, please reach out to me directly.
If you are a member who hasn’t been to lodge in a while, we would love to see you sometime this year. We will be having a small meal before each second stated communication this year and have libations after each meeting. We would all love for you to come and partake and it is completely free and open to all brothers.
So, my brothers, I want to wish you and your families all a Happy New Year And I look forward to seeing you all in lodge as soon as your cable tow allows.
Your Worshipful Master,
Michael Cardoza

MASTER'S MESSAGE
As I write my last Masters Message I reflect upon how truly great of a year it's been. Besides doing all the things we normally do, we also:
- Celebrated 150 years of Masonry in Littleton
- Participated in the Western Welcome Week Parade. This was the first time in several years we were able to do this.
- Table Lodge
- Still trying to change a portion of our by-laws.
With everyone participating and all of our events, we are getting our Honor Lodge ranking back! We need 400 points for honor lodge, so far we are in the neighborhood of 685 points! Congrats and thank you to all that made that happen.
Dec. 7th is my last meeting, it's also Elections and our Memorial Service.
Dec. 17th is Installation of new officers. Rumor has it that I will disappear, never to be seen again. Let me put that rumor to rest now. I will continue to be an active member of Weston, I'm here to help you with your degree work or anything else you need. I will continue to fulfill my duty/my oath for as many years as the good Lord gives me! May God bless each and everyone one of you, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.
Fraternally,
Your "almost" Junior Past Master,
Rick Mitchell

MASTER'S MESSAGE
Brothers,
I hope many of you have enjoyed this wonderful fall season. It is hard to believe we are near the time to elect new officers for 2022-2023.
With three stated meetings remaining, we have scheduled the Master Mason degree on Dec. 3rd. We will also hold our Annual Chili Cook off on Dec. 3rd; please be sure to join us for both events which will be held at Weston. Dec. 7th is elections, again your presence and ability to cast your vote is extremely important to the brothers and to our lodge. Dec.10th will be the installation of our new officers.
As the year begins to wind down and come to a close, I wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" to all of my Officers, Past Masters and Brothers who have helped me, supported and guided me and our lodge in so many ways this year. You have inspired me, helped to lead committees/events, prepared some amazing meals for all of us and kept us on track with our fraternal obligations. Your knowledge and understanding of our bylaws, obligations and commitment to our community are unsurpassed. I have been honored to be in your presence and to have this wonderful opportunity to be your Worshipful Master.
Wishing all of my Brothers a happy holiday season. May your Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year's be truly amazing, making memories with your family, friends & brothers for years to come.
From the bottom of my heart and based on the teachings of our craft and commitment to our brotherhood - "thank you" and God Bless!
Fraternally,
W.M. Richard Mitchell
