Henry Lodge #57 A.F. & A.M.
eTrestleboard and Calendar
January, 2003
Brethren,
Freemasonry is capable of bestowing many laurels upon its members, but there is none so great as that of Master of the Lodge. Thank you for the honor of becoming Master of this great Lodge --- I am truly humbled.
I pledge my best to live up to the outstanding record of those who have preceded me in this office and I look forward to working with our outstanding line of officers as we work to maintain the proud traditions of Henry Lodge No 57.
A special thanks to all who helped make our installation of officers a success — especially the Worthy Matron and Sisters of Hope Chapter No. 73, O.E.S.
And to our immediate Past Master, Ralph Smith (who by the way inspired me to ask how to become a Mason) I can only say, “An exceptional year — well done my Brother!”
There is much to be accomplished in the year ahead — but we need one key ingredient for success — you! I look forward to your active participation in the life of our Lodge in some way — big or small.
My heartfelt thanks to all my Brothers who have helped bring me to this point in my Masonic journey --- I am eternally grateful. Finally, I ask for your prayers and support during the year ahead. See you in Lodge!
Harry
Worshipful Master

The Worshipful Master has selected five Stated Meetings at which he will present all members present with his compliments a Henry Lodge Coffee Mug.
