GRAND MASTER’S NEWSLETTER
THIS ISSUE OF THE GRAND MASTER’S NEWSLETTER IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MASONICARE
Happy New Year Brethren – well, here we are with the first Grand Master’s Newsletter for 2024, and welcome to what I am sure will be an exciting year for Freemasonry in our jurisdiction.
T
hese newsletters are now an important, and vital part of our communication stream. The Grand Master’s Newsletter provides the perfect opportunity for me as Grand Master to keep you personally informed, and the accompanying video gives it a unique person to person feel. Firstly, I’m now in a position to say that your website is finally ready to begin playing its important role in how we operate leading into the future, and we cannot underestimate the impact this will have in our day-to-day education, communication and administration. I know it has taken some time to get to this point and, believe me, I have felt the same frustrations as some of you have,
but the results are worth waiting for and they’re revolutionary. We were with our previous data base contractors for many years, our system was basic and required us to do much of our data input and the like by manual means. This was onerous and very costly from both a product and staffing perspective, but, back then, that’s how it was done. It is no secret that I wasn’t happy with how we were operating, and the writing was on the wall that, if we didn’t make a change, the money we were going to be spending moving forward would, over time, have a negative effect on our capitation fees and our ability to continue with new, groundbreaking, and innovative communication streams.
