introduction
This site is dedicated to the success of your lodge in 2009. Welcome! It is my hope you will use this site to help prepare for your 2009 responsibilities as Master of your lodge. And, as our ancient brothers applied the tools of masonry to construct beautiful buildings, you can apply this information to build a progressive program resulting in a stronger lodge and more successful year for you.
Grand Master Reg Kuhn has given his support for this site so that you can be provided information to prepare for your responsibilities as Master of your lodge next year. The bottom line is the Grand Lodge’s desire to assist you in making your year as Master positive for both you and your lodge.
The information on this site includes:
Planning Tools so you can begin looking ahead to develop a dynamic program that will invigorate your active members, entice inactive members back to lodge and attract new members to join.
