In the South

It is with great pleasure that I address you today as your Junior Warden. As we all know, the role of the Junior Warden is primarily to take charge of the refreshment of the Lodge during our meetings and ceremonies. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the importance of refreshment and how it plays a vital role in our Lodge’s success.

Providing refreshments is not just about satisfying our hunger or thirst; it is about creating a welcoming atmosphere where we can gather and socialize with our brethren. As your Junior Warden, I am committed to ensuring that the refreshments we provide are of high quality and appropriate for the occasion. Whether it’s a quick snack during a short break or a full meal for a festive occasion, I will work with the committee to provide an inviting atmosphere for our members and guests.

Apart from providing refreshments, I am collaborating with our Worshipful Master to organize social and community events that aim to enhance camaraderie and fellowship among our members. These events will not only benefit our Lodge, but also highlight the Freemasons’ contributions to charity and welfare in Daly City. By promoting these events, we aim to educate the community on the value of our work. This May, we are hosting a celebration to honor the remarkable role of Mothers in Freemasonry, themed “Mother’s Love Never Fades.” Through this event, we hope to express gratitude for the support of mothers while demonstrating the positive impact of our Lodge’s activities.

These events will also help us to go in line with the program of the Grand Lodge of California in terms of marketing and increasing membership. As we all know, membership is vital to the success of our Lodge, and by coordinating social events and engaging with our community, we will be able to reach out to more individuals and attract more members to our Lodge.

As your Junior Warden, I will make sure that pending motions and proceedings that require my presence will move through the standard procedures. This will ensure that our Lodge operates smoothly and efficiently.

It is also essential to remember that every member of our Lodge is material to its success. Therefore, I urge the Senior and Junior Stewards our EAs and FCs, to assist and support me in my task of providing refreshments and coordinating social events. By working together, we can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our members and guests.

In line with my commitment to fostering the marketing thrust of the Grand Lodge, I am proposing a new program called “Meet the Masons Meetup.” This program is aimed at bringing together people who are interested in learning more about Freemasonry and our Lodge. The details of this event will be announced soon, and it will launch in June. I encourage all members to support this program, as it will help us to reach out to more individuals and increase our membership.

Lastly, I would like to thank you all for your support and cooperation. I am honoured to serve as your Junior Warden and look forward to working with you all to make our Lodge even more successful.
