2023 Dates for DDGM Official Visits ***
====================
Hello to the
wonderful Thundering 17th Masonic District,
I am most honored to
represent our District this year as the Grand Master’s
representative for our district. We have a great year of
work and fellowship ahead of us, and as our Grand
Master’s motto says, together we are stronger. That is
why one of the things I want to work on this year is to
have a pool of three to five members from each lodge who
are available (especially during the week) to help with
Masonic Funeral Services. A Masonic funeral service is
the “last” or final degree where we get to offer up our
reverence for a departed brother, and it is important
that he receives a proper goodbye. Another area that I
believe we are seeing progress in and need to continue
working on is our presence in the community. This is
not just through social media, but also through a
physical presence in our communities through interaction
with our schools and community leaders. Let people know
who we are and they will come to know us and understand
us, that is how we grow.
The Grand
Master has asked each of his DDGMs to visit the lodge in
their district four times. Two are working visits where
we meet with the lodge officers and go through the DDGM
visitation checklist. Two visits will be the “Official
visit” where the Grand master’s message is delivered.
One working and official visit are completed in the
first half of the year, with the second visit completed
after the installation of new officers. Additionally,
Grand Lodge is working to start a database so that all
lodges’ checklists are archived and searchable for
future WMs, DDGMS, and Grand Masters.
Finally, I want
to thank everyone in the district for the amazing
support you have already shown me and for the many
pledges of help wherever and whenever it is needed.
Remember,
We are Stronger
Together!!
