Brethren,
We are fast approaching the holiday season and we should begin planning our activities accordingly.
The Secretary’s office is sporting a fresh paint job courtesy of Andrew Faux, my son. It took 7 gallons of paint and 2 weeks but it is done. A new carpet will be installed very soon.
On September18th Annapolis Lodge held Sunday services at Boney Blink. These were greatly by both the staff and the residents of Boney Blink.
Harvest Home day was held at the Grand Lodge October 1st in Cockeysville. This year’s event was well attended and all had a wonderful time.
The Grand lodge of Maryland will celebrate its 225th year on November 19th. This event promises to be special. Tuxes, jewels and aprons are to be worn. All master masons are invited to attend.
As we come to the end of the year, I would like to thank all the line officers without whom we would not have enjoyed the success we had this year. More especially I would like to thank all those Past Masters who so willingly and graciously stepped forward to offer their assistance in these past months.
For those who wish to contact me directly, the best way will be either by phone 410-295-6517 at the office, and somewhat less reliably at the house, at 410-647-2425. I also use email, which I monitor during business hours cgoettge@fauxgroup.com.
Fraternally,
Chris Goettge,
Worshipful Master rethren,
rethren,
I wish all members of Annapolis Lodge and their families a very happy New Year! This year looks to be an exciting and productive one at the Lodge.
The officers of the 2012 line will be installed on January 7th. This will be an open installation and friends and family are welcome.
At several of our regular communications on the first and third Mondays of the month, short presentations will be given on varying subjects related to Masonry. In addition, practice or degree work will be held every second and fourth Thursday. The Deputy Grand Lecturer School of Instruction will remain on the third Tuesday of each month.
On May 5, there will be another open house at all Maryland Lodges for interested men to learn about our Fraternity. We will be very busy conferring degrees this year!
It is a great honor to serve the Lodge as Worshipful Master, and I sincerely thank you for the honor that you have conferred upon me.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
S. Dirk Wiker, WM
