Officer Installation 2013

Brothers and Candidates
 Last Monday night was a special night for your Lodge. Your Officers were Installed by two Past Grand Masters as well as our Deputy Grand Master and our Area Administrator. It was well attended and if I may be so bold, it was done the "right way". Very formal and by the book. A reception was held afterwords and the evening was special.

Of special notice was our Installing Officers Past Grand Master A.D. Anderson (1973), Past Grand Master Jack Allord (1996) and Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master Daniel Slavik. Grand Master Anderson is 94 years old and delivered a wonderful Installation of your Master and Deputy Grand Master Slavik (next years Grand Master) installed all the other Officers.

 We are especially proud of the fact that Past Grand Master Allord is also a plural member of our Lodge and we are so blessed to have his wisdom and experience.

 It is not often that a Past Grand Master of 94 years of age does the Installation and it was honor that will last a life time. I would also like to than Brother Paul Tourville, our Area Adminstator for his usual fine work as Installing Marshal. 

 It is my hope that all in attendance realized how special the night was.
Your Officers for the 2013 Masonic Year are:
WM Tom Walton
SW Chad Snyder
JW Rob Hanson
Scry/Tr Larry Preston
Chap Dale Anderson
SD Jeff Lichtfuss
JD John Meek
SS Jerry Thompson
JS Matt Baumgartner
Cnsl Lloyd Laskowski
Tyler Ken Stricker

Also installed were two new Trustees, Dale Anderson and Chad Snyder.

This truly is a dream team of Officers. The line is extremely strong and capable with a great mix of youth and age, excitement and experience. What is also special is that we have the Officers of last year who have left the line, still active and participating. 

Especially Brother Norm Burns who has so much experience and knowledge of the building and our history. We will be asking much of him as we involve and "teach" the younger newer members.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
Tom
WM
