A Message from the DDGM

Welcome to Bruce District!

Exciting times in Bruce District, here are some things I have noted.

New Candidates are coming into Masonry in our District and the quality of the work being done to help these new Candidates discover Masonry is really top notch.  Keep up the great work everyone!

I am hearing discussions on Long Range Planning at the Lodge level, this is critically important to the health of each of our Lodges.  Keep planning, plans that are made can always be amended.  Keep those discussions going.

Elections and Installations are just around the corner.  We have some great Officers willing to serve an additional term.  All of that is good.  In fact, I am a huge supporter of the Wardens and the Master being in the chairs for 2 years.  Year 1, you have just begun to figure things out and then you're done. With a second term, it's way more enjoyable as you know what to expect and have that confidence to execute.  Lodges should not feel the need to push the line forward, opt for a 2nd year for the benefit of the Lodge, if this is the best decision for everyone.

Seven more Official Visits to come.  March and April will be busy.  We have such great comradery in Bruce and your support at the Official Visits is nothing short of spectacular.  Come out if you can, however, always keep things happy at home first.

We have our Lodge of Instruction in conjunction with Grey District in April and then in May we have our District Meeting for nomination of DDGM, plus our Divine Service.  I look forward to seeing many of you there.  Please check the Trestleboard for details.

This will most likely be my last update.  Thank you to everyone to everyone for your support and for just being you.

Fraternally yours,

R.W. Bro. Peter W. Kritz
