Free State Freemason

September 2006 CONTINUING IN THE “PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE”

From the Grand Master: My Brethren: As you receive this issue of our Masonic publication, The Free State Freemason, I'm sure most of you have either been on vacation or you are planning a late summer trip before the children head back to school. I trust you will all be well rested and ready to get back to work in Lodge and make the rest of our Masonic year meaningful. I can tell you that summer brings no relief to the schedule of your Grand Master or Deputy Grand Master as we are constantly busy promoting "Maryland Masonry." The Summer Schools of instruction have been well attended across the state and we have been busy with various other activities. The Grand Lodge of Maryland has had the pleasure and privilege of hosting the 2006 Northeast Conference of Grand Masters and from all accounts it has been deemed a success. We were fortunate enough to have been able to hold this event in the old Grand Lodge building on North Charles St. and our distinguished guests as well as some of our own members were impressed with the $24 million dollar renovation. Earlier in the spring we had the honor of reopening and rededicating the building and it was an emotional homecoming for all in attendance. Our trip to Tampa and the Imperial Shrine Convention was fruitful and the situation that existed with Almas Temple moving into Maryland has been temporarily resolved. I hope that the Maryland and D.C. Masons who are involved with Almas are suc- cessful in resolving their internal problems and wish for them nothing but the greatest success in all of their future endeavors. As Grand Master of Maryland I am very proud of all our Shrine Masons. Being a Maryland Shrine Mason means you may very well belong to a number of different Temples, Almas, Ali Ghan, Boumi, Kena, Nur, and Zembo all claim Maryland Masons as members and I am proud of you all for your contributions to Shrine Masonry. The "Sands of Time" continue to flow and with each passing day the light at the end of the tunnel becomes brighter. I sure hope it's not a freight train I'm looking at. In any event you will find in this issue resumes for the candidates for elected office. These Brothers represent the future leadership of our Grand Lodge. Please take the time to read over each of them so that when you attend our Annual Communication in November you may make a well informed decision. My Brethren, let us continue "Making a Difference" one Brother at a time and one Lodge at a time. Together we can make it happen. Ronald G. Bélanger Grand Master Free State Freemason
