Greetings from the West,
Greetings brothers all,
I hope that your holidays were merry and bright.
With the New Year upon us let’s take a moment to reflect on the previous year and count the many blessings which have been bestowed upon us, then look toward the New Year with faith hope and resolution to achieve our goals and grow, both personally and as a lodge.
A personal Thank you to W:. M:. Bonet for his year of leadership and service to Eola.
Looking back at the installation of 2019 many things stand out to my recollection but two phrases more-so than the others. A paraphrase from the quote of Eleanor Roosevelt. “You must do the thing you think you cannot do”. In some ways 2019 was an optimal year for this phrase, many things “which could not be done” were done, and at the end of the day the craft and the lodge benefited. For some officers this also hit a cord in personal growth and development.
The second takeaway, if you will, would be something which should be very familiar to us all. Ask and shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. This was by in large a personal lesson in the fact that to accomplish many things over the last year all 3 of the above actions took place, and without that formula little to any would have been accomplished. Taking a step back and looking at this more closely I drew the conclusions that we as a fraternity should implement this more, open ourselves to all resources available, and be bold in our endeavors to walk through the doors of opportunity of which we knock upon.
W:. M:. Bonet , as you close this year of service, let me be the first to say Thank you, and congratulations for having the courage, determination and resolve to lead us in 2019, I am proud to have called you by the title of Worshipful Master, but even more proud to call you my brother.
Additionally I wish to thank the elected and appointed officers serving in the 2019 Masonic year for their assistance, diligence and patience, it is my hope that you are all proud of your service to Eola in 2019, and continue to serve in any capacity that you can regardless of holding a line position or not at this time.
Looking ahead to 2020, you can anticipate a very fast paced, and prosperous year at Eola, The elected and appointed officers are fully committed to the plan and furthering the goals leading up to our 100th year celebration. As with most things there will be some changes, as well as the return of programs and culture which have fallen by the wayside over the years.
With this said January will be a great time to attend lodge, catch up, see what’s new, and get onboard for the future.
