"Masonic Brotherhood" is the bond which holds our Craft together.

"Masonic Brotherhood" is the solemn pledge that each of us have vowed to one another.

"Masonic Brotherhood" is the ability of all Masons to work together toward a common vision.

"Masonic Brotherhood" is the ability to direct individual accomplishment toward Masonic objectives.

"Masonic Brotherhood" is the adhesive which holds all that is dear to us together.

"Masonic Brotherhood" is the fuel that allows uncommon people to attain uncommon, spectacular results.

Let us never forget that:

A Mason has the patience of a saint in hardship;

A Mason has the tenacity of a bulldog in adversity;

A Mason has courage of a lion when aroused;

And a Mason has the chivalry of a Knight in all of his dealings;

In all of your dealings, be it personal or professional, make this year a Masonic victory.

My Brethren,
    I am honored to have been elected as your Worshipful Master for 2008. I will serve you and our Lodge to the best of my ability. Masonry is changing and no one likes change. This is human nature. However, if we as a Lodge desire to see our Lodge grow with new members, see old members return, raise community awareness of just who we are, then we MUST "Demonstrate Masonry." This is directly from the Grand Master. We must get out of our Lodges and into the community.

    We must heal the wounds of the past within our Lodge and move forward. We must look forward to this change as a vision to a whole new Light. A light of fulfillment and enlightenment with better understanding of our craft. We must look to the future, am future of Pine Level as a Lodge for our children and grandchildren to learn to subdue their passions and to keep their desires within due bounds.

     I ask for your support, opinions, ideas and let's make this a great year for Pine Level Lodge.

Fraternally,

Dru Hannon
