My Brethren,

Thank you for electing me to the office of Junior Warden. It is a great honor. With God's help and the teamwork of all the officers and an outstanding group of Brothers, I know that the journey for the 2012 Masonic year will be successful.

I have always felt that being equal was one of the most important features in Masonry. On one side of the balance scale is "Truth", on the other "Equality". As long as these two elements are in balance in a Lodge there is harmony, otherwise chaos is possible.

Let us all strive to serve in harmony and the good of all, and maintain that high level of professionalism that this Lodge has attained. I'm looking forward to another great year. Again, thank you. See you in the Lodge.
