We had an outstanding installation
ceremony on the 17th of December 2009. Your officers were sworn in for 2010 with great pomp and
circumstance.
We had three representatives from the Grand Lodge, RW Louis Kerford Campbell, G. J.W.
and Paul David Sleeper, G.J.D. as well as our own Worshipful Francis Reed Brown, Grand Lodge Organist.
Right Worshipful Brian Andrew Block, DDGM for the 54th District also graced us with his presence.
I sincerely want to thank my installing officers: MW Stewart Wilson Miner, Installing
Officer, Travis Sanchez Hilliard, PM, Installing Marshal, Bro. Paul Sunal, Installing Secretary, and
Bro. Robert Walton Liles as Assistant Installing Marshal. We also had a large turnout of brothers,
family and friends.
I want to express my humble appreciation to the brothers of Cherrydale Lodge 42 for
their trust and support in electing me as the 88th Worshipful Master for the year 2010. I accept this
high honor knowing that it comes with a great deal of responsibility to not only the current lodge
brothers, but also those that preceded us.
My goals are to continue to promote the high principles of the Masonic Fraternity by
adhering to the constitution of Masonry, the Laws of the Grand Lodge of Virginia and the by-laws of this
particular lodge. I will make every effort to promote the ideals of free masonry both in the lodge and
in the community.
The objectives of my term will be to improve and expand the ritual community within
the lodge, increase fraternal visits in order to expand our friendships throughout the 54th District and
beyond, and to continue to educate our brethren so that they will fully appreciate the rich heritage of
Free and Accepted Masons. |
