“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you’re right.” ---Henry Ford

Dear Brethren:

The past year has been an exciting one for our lodge. We have raised new brothers, had an official visit by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, celebrated our “75th Anniversary”, and have made it through to another year. We have our new Master and his line of officers waiting in the wings to take over the leadership of our lodge.

I am taking this opportunity to personally thank my officers and all the people who have helped me with the operations of our lodge. Words cannot express all the appreciation that I have for you and I would have had a tough time in being Master without your willingness to help and participate.

To the in-coming Master—best wishes for a successful year. Your lodge officers and members will be there for you. I know that you will have a great year.

To the members of our lodge—again, thank you for all your support. Best Wishes for the holiday season and Happy New Year.

I leave you with some interesting quotes—food for thought.
