From the East

January 15, 2010

Brethren,

Thanks for your support in making me master of our lodge. Although my schedule may not allow me to be present at every Masonic event, I am certain to represent Raleigh Lodge # 500 every day in a manner fitting of our highest regards amongst the public eye.

I commend those who have come before me and feel honored to be among your presence at any and all stated communications and welcome your sage advice so we may all set the standard at a level admired and respected by all masons. I welcome the newest master masons and encourage our future leaders to embrace what many men have created before us. Help me protect and build this valuable legacy for future generations.

I hope my year as master is measured by our collective efforts which are far more valuable than any one mason. Together, we will all make a big difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

Fraternally,
Michael J. Sterling W.M.
