I greet you all in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I would

like to thank you the members of Arlington Lodge for placing this high and distinguished

honor upon me.

 

I am seeking wisdom from those who have traveled this road before me. I will not

attempt to handle this job all by myself. I will need and am asking for help from each

of you, the members, in order that we can continue the work that was started by our

forefathers. Arlington Lodge is rich in tradition and history and has a longstanding

reputation in the community, as always being there to help, aid and assist those in need.

 

Let us continue to work for the good of every common man, woman, boy and girl

who shall call on us for assistance. Let’s continue to work with the local schools,

churches and other local civic and government organizations that shall need our

assistance. Let us continue to provide educational assistance to those young men and

women who need it. We want to be “all that we can be” in all Arlington communities.

 

It is my hope and prayer that we can continue to make Prince Hall Masonry, a

“True Way of Life”.

 

Fraternally,

 

Larry Hawthorne
