From the East
Greetings From The East,
As the days grow longer and summer settles in, I hope each of you are taking advantage of the opportunities to enjoy outdoor time with family and friends, maybe take a well-deserved vacation, and make the most of the season’s many blessings. Summer brings a slower pace to our Masonic calendars, providing a chance to recharge and reflect upon the friendships and principles that unite us as Masons.
While our regular activities may be fewer during these warmer months, I encourage every brother to remain active in the life of the Craft. Though we have but one Stated Communication in July and August each, we will still meet on the off Thursdays for education and fellowship. I hope you will continue to attend. And if you haven’t been to Lodge for some time, this offers an informal opportunity to catch up with the brothers and learn about all we have ahead of us this coming year. I look forward to seeing
you.
Before long, autumn will be upon us, bringing with it more degrees, educational programs, charitable efforts and social events. We have much work still, and much to look forward to in the months ahead and I am excited for all that we have accomplished, and all that we will accomplish together.
Until then, I wish each of you a safe, healthy, and happy summer
Fraternally yours,
Clinton T. Potter
2026 Worshipful Master
