Masters Message

  I would like to take a moment to thank the Brethren of Weston Lodge for voting me into the east.
It means a lot to me, I never in my dreams pictured myself being the Master of a Masonic Lodge. Let alone a lodge with Weston’s reputation. Pledging to do my best in the upcoming months to make the lodge meetings as interesting as possible and short so we may have time downstairs to have the real meetings.

We should have a lot of work to do this year. Several brothers have expressed an interest in starting several more degree teams, this holds an interest to me, it would allow us to have a lot of practices on the three degrees so that our work would bring out the meaning of the degrees as they were written. It seems the more teams we have the easier it will be to put on any degree, it would give us more people that know the parts, so it wouldn’t be very difficult to cover a part if one of the regular players wasn’t able to do a degree for some reason.

I want to have an open relation with all the brethren, this just makes it easier to run the lodge if there is an open dialog between everyone in the lodge. I would like each brother to feel that they can approach me for any reason, to make suggestions on things they would like to do; to bring the lodge into the public eye. This would allow people on the outside to see we do good things in the community, if anyone has any ideas please bring them to the Lodge's attention. We used to have the blood donations but the only brother still giving blood is Worshipful Brother Norm Miller.

If there are any lodges that a brother would like to visit please let me know, we will be visiting several lodges during the year.

Thank you again for having the confidence in me to let me represent you as Weston’s Worshipful Master. It has humbled me and given me plenty to think about and a lot to live up to.

Fraternally, Walt Ashlock
Worshipful Master
