Brethren: Welcome to my May 2023 Newsletter
O
ver the past month or so there has been plenty happening within our jurisdiction and, I’m pleased to say that our membership numbers are still on the rise. The Ceremonial Team and I have been out and about over the past month or so with visits to St Andrews up at Manilla NSW, Lodge Independent Lewis out at Portland, Lodge Lake Macquarie at Toronto and Lodge St James up in Newcastle. Our
various boards and committees are also continuing their good work as we look toward growing and future-proofing our wonderful organisation. From an administrative perspective, we are now well into our re-structuring process, and I thank our Grand Secretariat for their understanding and commitment to what has been an onerous but necessary task. Times are changing; we must work smarter and tighten our belts if
we are to rein in our spending and ride the wave of what is shaping up to be a somewhat volatile economic future. From a lodge perspective we have some big events coming up, beginning with the ‘Hands Across the Border’ event at Deniliquin later this month.
