I would like to thank everyone for the confidence they have put in me by electing
me as your Worshipful Master for 2025. I am extremely grateful and excited to
be in the East. I have many plans and goals that I would like to accomplish with
the help of my officers. I would like to thank the outgoing Worshipful Master,
Alex Mirea, for an outstanding job in the East the past two years; I plan to contin
ue the great work you have done.
Family is a key component of life. I want to bring that same message to the lodge
and bring everyone together and create and even stronger bond than what we
already have. This will be my focus for the year. Deepening our bond with each
other while involving the families, so they can feel more involved in what we do.
Congratulations to all the elected and appointed officers. We are going to have a
tremendous year and I am looking forward to working with all of you.
First, I give all the honor and praise to the God who by his grace and his grace
only made my journey possible. I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year
and congratulate all the 2024 Officers on all their accomplishments and successful
year. Under the guidance of our Worshipful Master, Alex Mirea, our lodge has
charted a course of greatness. His encouragement, leadership, and dedication can
not go without recognition. I also want to congratulate all the newly elected and
appointed officers. A special thanks to everyone who participated in Bolivar’s
food drive for our local community.
Moving forward into the new year, I encourage all my Brothers and families to try
to participate more, increase our bonds, lift up one another in both, the fraternal
and our local communities. I encourage all my Brothers to make just one phone
call a week before the meeting and invite a Brother to join us for dinner and
break bread.
Brethren, as I step into the role of Junior Warden, I am deeply honored and
grateful for the trust my Brethren have placed in me. This office is not just a
title; it is a responsibility to uphold our lodge’s values and traditions while
fostering harmony among us. I look forward to overseeing the South, ensur
ing that refreshment and fellowship remain integral to our meeting.
I also want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the newly elected
and appointed officers. Together, we will strengthen our bonds, embrace
our shared obligations, and work towards the betterment of our lodge and
community.
Thank you for this opportunity to serve.
