Greetings From the East!

First off, I would like to thank all the brothers who made it to our last meeting and were a part of raising Brothers Eli and Max to the sublime degree of a Master Mason. Your presence helped make it a truly memorable experience. I would also like to thank the brothers who were able to make our visit to Longs Peak Lodge #197 on the 29^th. We had a great time visiting with our brothers in Loveland and listening to the various Masonic conspiracy theories that were discussed. I look forward to more Lodge visits in the near future.

I encourage all of you to attend our first meeting in March on the seventh. Worshipful Brother Van Troi will be presenting a talk on “What has Freemasonry Changed in you.”  This is also a reminder that we will be doing the polar plunge this Saturday the 9^th at the Boulder Reservoir. If you would like to attend but have not yet signed up, please reach out to me, and let me know. Please remember to bring a second pair of shoes to take the plunge in. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to contribute to the Colorado Special Olympics.

For our second meeting on March seventh we will have the pleasure of welcoming the brothers from Prince Hall lodge Mount Evans #7. I encourage all the brothers to attend. This will be a terrific opportunity to share fellowship with our brothers from Prince Hall.  They will be presenting the History of Prince Hall Masonry and telling us a little about their lodge.

As we witness the change of seasons from Winter to Spring, I invite all of you to reflect on how Masonry has changed you, and the ways in which it can help you continue on the path of becoming a better man and mason.

My best to all of you, my Brethren
