March 2019

Wardens and Brethren,

Greetings.

We have three challenges coming up, two of
which are a big part of Franklin Lodge being
able to earn the Grand Master’s Award,
those being visitations by the Right
Worshipful District Deputy Grand Master Gil
Fontes and his Grand master of Ceremonies
Worshipful Jason Nystrom. The first one is
Hope Lodges Visitation on Wednesday
March 13th. Then our good friends at Charity
Lodge have their Visitation on Thursday April
18th. Those two events are two of the three
most difficult for Franklin, but with planning
and some praying I know we can get it done.
I will be going over some additional small
projects that we need to do which can most
probably be done by just a couple brethren
attacking each task. I will also will be
reviewing Franklin’s annual “Clam Bake”
with some possible options. And last but not
least will be reviewing upcoming candidate
ritual work as well as assigning Trestle
Board parts. They should be the same parts
that you previously had, so no memorizing of
new text.

May the Great Architect of the Universal
watch over us, guide us and make us all
better Masons and gentlemen.
​
Fraternally,
Brett Marggraff
Master, Franklin Lodge #20
