Trestle Board January 2022

Greetings Brethren,

I find myself writing my first master’s message to you on Christmas Day, a day of hope and promise. The start of another new year, hopefully a year filled with promises honored and kept. As in years past, we will again be very active this year. We have visitations, table lodges, special communications, breakfasts, poker nights and special events such as the Franktown Firearms, Western Welcome Week and our 150th anniversary celebration. We will continue all our normal degree work. I will do my very best to live up to everything that is expected of me.

I am fortunate to have officers who have proven their ability to manage anything that comes their way. I am truly grateful for every one of you. It’s been inspiring to see so many of our Past Masters attend functions, share their knowledge and love of the craft. I hope we continue to see many more Past Masters at meetings and special events.

As far as our meetings go, I believe in getting things done. We also need time for brotherhood, after all, two of the most important things are friendship and brotherly love.

So, my brothers if you haven’t been to a meeting lately, please join us. We need your contributions, your inspiration and feedback to help grow our craft. Your contribution may be the one thing that helps another brother feel better, inspires them, improves their day, your contributions matter, you matter, and we need YOU! I encourage all my brothers to come to lodge. Give of yourself and you will receive in return. It is going to be a wonderful year.

Fraternally,
WM Richard Mitchell
