Past Events

 

Election of officers was held on December 4, 2003. We had an open installation on January 10, 2004. The officers were duly and properly installed. I want to thank all the Brothers who came and showed me their support. And especially the ladies who helped Peggy plan and execute this evening that I will never forget.

 

Founders Day was held January 17, 2004 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis. It was a very informative day. It gave my Wardens and me an outlook on what we can expect this year from Grand Lodge. WB Ray Bradley was a great help in showing Paul, Randy, and myself around. I believe we all learned a great deal that day.

 

Looking From The East

 

I would like to congratulate the officers of 2003 for an excellent year. We raised 6 Master Masons during the year. I believe the picnic and Lodge visitations pointed Newburgh Lodge in the right direction. If you missed these events, you missed out on some great times and good Fellowship. We had a good turnout for the Lodge Of Instruction and scored very well. Newburgh should receive the Grand Masters Award for 2003.

 I want to thank the Ladies of Eastern Star Friendship Chapter #32 for all their help last year and we are looking forward to working with them again this year. If their Chapter grows “We Grow”.

 

We have a very active and fun year ahead of us, so come and share the activities with us. Help me and my officers make 2004 a year to remember.

 

Two new things to note this year.

1)     Officers dress for lodge events are coat and tie. I believe it presents a better image for Newburgh 174.

2)     Look Well In the West or South. I want to give my wardens a chance to get their thoughts in the Compass Points.
