There were several Past Masters and Brethren who helped me make it to the East and I sincerely thank them. I am looking forward to a very successful year. We have many events already in the planning stages. Included in this Trestleboard is a tentative list of dates and events for 2015, so mark your calendars now so you won't miss any of these great events. I will be working close with my line officers to try and make meeting nights more exciting and to improve the fellowship in our Lodge. I am asking for your help and counting on you as Master Masons to make this a success. Come back to Lodge and see firsthand what I am trying to accomplish at Belleview Lodge, with your help. Sincerely & Fraternally Ken Williams Out of the West My brothers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the faith you have in trusted in me as Belleview lodges Senior Warden for the year 2015. The Worshipful Master and I have had many conversations on the how best to serve the lodge and craft. The worshipful Master has compiled several ideas he will be presenting to the craft in the next several months. There will be a Master Mason degree the second meeting of the month, January 22nd when three brothers will be raised. We hope to see you there. Russell McNealy Senior Warden Out of the South Brothers, First, I would like to say Happy New Year and thank you for choosing me as your Junior Warden. This year is looking like it will be a busy one. In spite of only being a few weeks into January things are fast approaching. The degree team is already hard at work for there will be three new Master Masons in a few days. Also, the Sweetheart Dinner is right around the corner on February 12. The Child ID event is coming up at the end of March; this is a big event for both the lodge and for the community. If we are to be successful we need all the help we can get. There will be plenty of jobs to go around, from working computers and wrangling children to concessions. This is an important event as it puts our Lodge in the public spotlight not only by providing a great service free of charge but also positive publicity. If you wish to help, remember, when dealing with any information about a child a background check MUST be submitted to the Grand Lodge. This can be done either through me or by going to the Grand Lodge web site and filling out the form provided. If you choose to do it yourself please let me know after your submission so I can add you to the list. There will also be catechism classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 5:30. If you feel like helping out or just want to brush up on some of your work, feel free to stop by the lodge (let me know when you are coming so I can schedule appropriately). Again, I am looking forward to working hard this year with my brothers and enjoying the fellowship.
