First and foremost giving honor to GOD who in his infinite wisdom decided to keep me and sustain me on his earthy kingdom, to do the work that he has laid before me!
I am now task with a stewardship to lead Golden Rule Lodge No. 24 forward on the charitable path of assistance to our community.  I will endeavor to at least maintain the same level of service we have historically established, if not preferably improving our Lodge to a higher quality of service than which it was at the beginning of this administration.  For this to be possible, our lodge must be willing to be bold, be different, and even get away from doing some of what we have always done…just because we have always done it.  If we do not alter and improve our actions, we may possibly continue to get what we have been getting, and limit the possibilities of our own excellence. 
We must be willing to help one another arm in arm, as we pull the lodge to new heights. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reads “two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up, but pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up”.  So will you help to cast pity on your fellow brother by your rhetoric of what you feel the direction our Lodge should be? Or will you be willing to collaborate to build good return on our Lodge’s labor? I only ask because as I envision the execution of designs on this administration’s trestle board, and as we move our Lodge forward in progress, I ponder on what our Brotherly motivational charge can be.  Ever remembering, that chance favors the PREPARED!!!
Fraternally,
W.B. Cameron E. Cox
