Brethren,

As the saying goes, “It’s not joy that makes us grateful but gratitude that makes us joyful.”

I’m proud to be a part of a group of men that demonstrates this daily.

Your respect and appreciation for one another brings a positivity to this lodge that shines—even when times get tough. I am honored that you have selected me as Master of this great group.

As Thanksgiving nears, I want to share a quote with you…
“When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” – Gilbert K. Chesterton

…and a reminder that not one of you is taken for granted in this lodge. Your positive presence, your time, your ideas, your daily efforts are taken with much gratitude, and we wouldn’t be where we are without you.

So thank you! Wishing you peace, prosperity, and plenty of pumpkin pie!

Worshipful Master Elect
Christopher Britt
