December's Remembrances

Greetings Brethren & Ladies of Palmer!

And now winter is howling at our doorstop… not unlike the seasons we must go through a birthing process of renewal which leads not unto a death but of a rebirth. Which is my verbose means of saying my time as Master of this lodge is coming to an end. It has been a good road traveled well with many interesting sights and doings along the way. Our annual Jr. Warden’s Chili Contest was another success promoting friendship and brotherhood. We have recognized our 25/50 and even 60 year members, tipped our hats with gratitude towards our Past Masters and have bowed in reverence to those women who were and are the backbone of all masons: our ladies and widows. We have initiated many Entered Apprentices, passed several Fellowcrafts and look forward to their raising next year.

As traditions go many great ideas were put forth, most followed upon and some unfortunately had to be set aside. But our elections have been cast and a new set of officers with great ideas of their own are ready to be installed, do not forget that our installation of officers will be on Saturday, December 13^th at 7pm. Also, while I still get to remind you I would like as many Palmer Masons to attend our Bethel 2’s stated meeting on Saturday December 13^th at 1pm. Our December Stated meeting is on December 19^th and on Sunday, December 7^th finds our Pizza with Santa program which is a delight for children of all ages – attend to your calendars and make sure you bring the children!

I thank you for your support these past twelve months and hope that I leave you feeling that my time in the East was well spent. It is an honor to be called brother by a brother mason and it is ever so humbling to have been asked to lead such men.

Thank you

Khristian E. Kay, WM
