From the East

Hello my Brothers!

We are nearing the end of the year and we have a few important events coming up. First off let me say congratulations to our new initiated brothers Joshua and James. Their degrees were wonderful, and I hope they will not soon forget them. Thank you to the officers and many guest that helped in the degrees.

Our final festive board is coming up, December 9 th It will be our St. Johns feast. Bro Geoff, Daniel and Jimmy are working very hard to make it as special as years past.

Annual Installation of Officers will be Friday January 13 th . It will be an open installation so please bring your families. Im very excited to see Bro Geoff sit in the East, there is no brother more qualified to serve then him and I’ve been lucky to have him as Senior warden for the last two years. Best of luck Geoff.

I want to thank the Brothers of the Bell for supporting me through the last two years. Its been an absolute privilege to serve as Master of the lodge. Anchor Bell is such a unique experience, with lots of innovation and character. I have learned a lot in my time serving, and am looking forward to helping out in any capacity in the future.

I raise a glass to you all,

Matthew Dove

Master of Anchor Bell Lodge No.868
