Secretary's Desk



Web Site Submission for 2008

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will experience a Happy and Healthy New Year. ACME Lodge has some positive improvements for 2008. At the installation of Officers we installed two (2) Officers who were "Raised" in 2007 and counting them, four (4) below the age of 50. We have another in the process of Affiliating in the same category, who wants to sit in a chair as soon as possible. Probably the best thing about this is, they know men in the same age group and can hopefully bring in some more new members. The newly installed Worshipful Master has some good plans for the year and we are looking forward to becoming the vibrant Lodge that ACME used to be.

Brethren, I know that you were told and have heard many times, "The more you put into Masonry the more you will get out of it." We are experiencing some great things but still in need of new young members, Mentors and Instructors for these members, Lodge maintenance people, side liners and of course, more funds to maintain our 60 year old Lodge building. If you can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated. Also, to fulfill our sworn obligation to our Widows and Orphans we should have every member who can become a member of the District 6 Widow's Fund.

I announced that this would probably be my last year as secretary, I have enjoyed the job, learning more Masonry in the last three years than in the 43 before. Someone needs to start thinking about taking this position. Not being an office or secretary type during my working career I was a bit apprehensive of the station but with the help of Sam Fischer and a book especially printed for Lodge Secretaries, soon learned enough to get by and improved as time went by. It does require some of your otherwise free time but not too much. I'm sure you would find it very satisfying when you get the hang of it. I will be most glad to assist my replacement until he knows the "ropes."
