Master’s Corner

Brethren,

          Greetings from the East, The elections for the year of 2006 went well, as usual. The Brethren of Whitney Lodge elected a great line of officers. I want to thank the Brothers for the vote of confidence electing me to the office of Worshipful Master for the year of 2006. It is a great honor with tremendous pride to fulfill the duties of this office. And a special Thanks to all the Brothers and Past Masters that helped me over the years as I moved through the chairs, your support and encouragement has made my path easier. I will do my very best.

                Arlie Parsons was elected Senior Warden, as the pillar of strength in the west, his support we have enjoyed the past year and he is a real benefit to our Lodge.  Dale Foreman was elected Junior Warden, as pillar of beauty in the South. I am sure we will discover the beauty he has within his self and for the lodge. Mike Redkey PM was re-elected as Treasurer and Robert Wyatt PM was re-elected as Lodge Secretary. These two Brothers have always put pride in the duties of their office and support to every line officer.

My congratulations go out to Dennis Curtis as Senior Deacon, Michael Miller as Junior Deacon, John Vonderschmitt as Senior Steward, Chris Routh as Junior Steward, Claude Fowler as Chaplain, and Charles Curtis as Tyler. With a team such as we have, I don’t see how we can fail, so let’s plan and enjoy a fine year.

Ray Maynard,

Worshipful Master
