Brethren of Coastside Lodge,

Now our Lodge elections are completed and there is a new slate of officers for 2012. (See Page 4)

The New Year brings great promise and a renewed excitement about the positive growth of Coastside Lodge.
In looking back upon the past year there are a number of positive changes. For example we raised three new brothers to the sublime degree of Master Mason and initiated
Several new brothers this year.

We also lost a few brothers who have gone on to the place where no one as returned. Plus a couple of brothers who have moved away . We will miss them all.

On a personal note, now that I am moving on to be the Officers Coach, I hope that our new slate of officers will continue to see the Lodge prosper by bringing in new brothers and raising new Master Masons.
We now need to form our 2012 Planning Team and create our 2012 Operating Budget and program’s for next year’s lodge activities.

This year we must make every effort to stay within our budget. This past year we had to make a few major necessary facilities expenditures. So now we need to let our accounts grow.

Fraternally
Michael S. Schirmer, PM
