THANK YOU!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to make our 2010 Officer Installation event a HUGE success!

I would especially like to thank:

  • Our Eastern Star and Amaranth for providing the outstanding desserts.
  • The Jobies for their OUTSTANDING table service. They certainly went above and beyond any expectations we had for the evening. I cannot express how grateful we are to them.
  • Senior Wardon Richard Petak for his expert contributions, ideas, consulting, and dedication.
  • All the Grand Lodge Installing and Opening Officers, including MW Grand Master Craig S. Campbell, for making our event truly special.
  • And outgoing WM Jay Worth… thank you Jay for setting the bar and standards high. The Lodge and I can only benefit from your example.
THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! STAY TUNED…

Fraternally,

Scott R. Bond
Worshipful Master
Lodge 26

An outgoing message from 2009 WM Jay Worth:

Friday, December 18th, 2009


Upon my exit, I want to express my special thanks to:

  • Bobbie Enloe for providing such a good example in 2008.

  • Jerry Schrankler for being our Counselor this past year and especially for holding my hand all year to see that this ignorant WM performed at least passably.

  • Scott Kreis for putting on so many good, educational programs.
  • Phil Kifer for feeding us so well, the grub was superb!

  • LeRoy Kifer for the unbelievable amount of time you dedicate to the Lodge year-in and year-out.
  • Jeff Keller for your ability to anything and everything, the Cabinets are fantastic!
  • Rich Petak for your dedicated work around the lodge; the locks, the AED, the keyboard, sound system, and so much more!
  • Burt, Gordon, Jeff, Jerry, Rich and the rest of the Sheephead Gang for the card lessons and for shamelessly taking my money all year.

  • Gib and George and the rest for your ever presence, both physically and spiritually.
  • All the rest of my FdL Lodge 26 Brothers, for whom I have too little room here to mention individually, I can feel your kind thoughts and prayers every time I enter Lodge.

  • And finally, Scott Bond for your Masonic passion and drive. It’s been an honor keeping that Eastern Seat warm for you. Next year is going to be an ‘Excellent Adventure’.
