Message from the East

Hello Brethren!

We are approximately at the halfway point of the Masonic Year, and if the second half is anything like the first half we are in for a real treat!

First off, I would like to thank all of the officers and members of Bytown lodge for all of their help so far this year. They say many hands make light work, and I must say that has never been more evident in Bytown Lodge than the last couple of years.

Not only have the Past Masters group been instrumental in ensuring we are well fed if the Junior Warden is out of the country, but they are also spending many hours of their time assisting with preparing food for our social events.

All members of the lodge have been so helpful and eager to help out, whether filling in for an absent brother at a meeting or assisting in cleanup after the meeting. Every single member of this lodge has been eager to assist when called upon. As Master of this lodge it makes my job easy, but more especially it makes me incredibly proud to call myself a member of Bytown Lodge!

We were also able to secure the Travelling Trowel when we had the most visitors (9, technically 10) at the official visit of the DDGM to The Builders Lodge. What made the feat so impressive was that there were nearly 100 Masons in attendance.

It certainly feels like we are headed in the right direction, and I am so happy to be a part of it.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
