Grand Masters January Message

Happy New Year to all of you. Here is hoping that you all had a safe and happy holiday season. We had wonderful fall weather but we have been paying for it recently. With the bitter cold that we have had, I sure hope that all who had to travel any distance were warm, comfortable and safe. I trust that Santa was good to each and everyone of you.

It has been my sincere pleasure to be present at many Officer Installations this fall and I have seen a lot of very enthusiastic Masons who really are trying to do the work with respect and dignity. We are hearing about many Lodges who are doing lots of Candidates, many of them are the sons of Masons. Just what I like to hear. I would like to see them all wear a Lewis Jewel like the one that I wear, which, as you know, is for Fathers and their sons in Masonry.

There is much excitement about the Human Rites Museum. More information is coming from Winnipeg on a regular basis. There was an article in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix on Thursday, Dec 11th. I hope that you were all able to read it. I believe this is a very worthwhile project and may help to restore us to the Glory of Yesterday, Today which will sustain us for Tomorrow.

We have put together a Public Relations Committee which will work in conjunction with your Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. We will be pleased to receive a presentation from the Grand Master of Manitoba and his Senior Grand Warden at our next Board of General Purposes Meeting where we will get some more of the details.

Hope to see you in your Lodge soon. Remember if you want to see the Grand Master in your Lodge just contact the Grand Secretary and we will make ever effort to see that it happens. Happy New Year to one and all.
