MESSAGE FROM THE EAST - FEBRUARY 2012

Brothers,

As our labors get underway for this year, I recall many of the past masters who have sat in the east before me. King Solomon had a great pair of shoes to fill and I understand fully the honor and privilege to occupy such a great place in lodge.

I have a full menu for us this year will count on each and every one of you to contribute to our good and great work. I will do my very best for the fraternity in all that I do.

I encourage each and everyone who can use a computer to get on the Hiram web sitehttp://www.hiramlodge18.org/ and keep informed of, not only, our labors and events but of other lodges in our area as well. There is a group of us who travel on a regular basis. Just call me if you are interested and I will make sure that you are included.

We are blessed in the quality of brothers who are willing and able to contribute. Thank you all for the dues payments so early in the year. It will make our lives easier to know that our regular expenses can be covered. If you have any difficulties making the full dues payment in 2012, please let me know personally, and as soon as possible, so we can discuss options and make other arrangements. Let's all get the word out about April 28th, at Heritage Hotel, which is our major fund raiser for the year.  Under JW Bro Jason's leadership (with help from key brothers including; W Joe, W Bill, Anthony, RW Tony N and others) it will be a fabulous time for all. It's not too early to secure items for our silent auction so get out there to your merchant contacts in the community.

Fraternally,

Marty Schertzer
