I think at last count we had about 70 in attendance, which all enjoyed a very tasty turkey dinner, thanks to the efforts of our caterer and her staff. The decorations looked great, and I would like to thank everyone who helped to make the lodge look so warm and festive. There are too many to name for a personal thank you, but I want to give a special thanks to Wor. Steve Eberhardt and his wife Lisa who went out of their way in helping my lady Jennifer and I to plan and organize this event, even getting our kids involved in making some of the decorations. Our schedule for this month is looking to be full with our stated meeting on Jan. 8th due to the New Year's Day holiday on the first Thursday; Jan. 15th will be our OSI (held in our lodge); we will have a First Degree practice on Jan. 22nd; and we will hold a first degree ceremony on Jan. 29th. Our Treasurer and Secretary are hard at work putting together our annual budget; our Officer's Coach is gearing up for our first EA degree practice; our Junior Deacon is hard at work practicing his ritual and coaching candidates; our Hall Association and Trustees are looking out for our future interests, and our Marshall is finally getting some much needed water for his cows. Thank you all for your kindness in presenting me with a beautiful walnut gavel to use this year. I look forward to serving with you all, and I'm proud to call each and every one of you my Brother.

My hearty thanks and congratulations to all of those who so selflessly gave of themselves to make our Officers’ Installation such a success. The decorations, meal and ceremonies were all magnificent! I heard high praise from many visitors who found the event to be most impressive. A fine, admirable showing for our Lodge! I wish to give my sincere, humble thanks to all my Lodge brothers who have entrusted me with the office of Senior Warden. I will strive to serve with responsiveness and diligence. Please be forthright with telling me how I can help you and/or our Lodge…can’t fix or improve what I don’t know about. Next up, January stated meeting. And before long some initiations, passings and raisings…Huzah! See you all there! Hoping everyone’s holidays were/are relaxing, refreshing, joyous and safe. May the G.A.O.T.U.’s Light shine upon you and yours. Fraternally, Leland Celestre, SW REMEMBER BRETHREN TO PAY YOUR 2015 DUES IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY DONE SO!

Happy New Year Brethren I am honored to have been elected to serve as your Junior Warden for the ensuing year. It has been my pleasure to be a member of this lodge. We have so much potential to make a profound difference in our community. With new membership soaring, I am confident we will have many chances of fellowship and philanthropy. As we embark upon this New Year, I would like to encourage us all to continue with the holiday spirit, throughout the year. We can spread the message of what a Mason is, without uttering a word.
