Albert Pike Masonic Lodge, Denver Colorado

In my first communication to you as Worshipful Master, I first want to give special thanks to our outgoing Worshipful Master, Brother Chris Scott, for the leadership he has provided to us over the past year and for the mentoring he has provided to me and continues to provide to me.  We all owe him a debt of gratitude, and I especially.

 I am looking forward to the challenges of the coming year and hope to build upon the accomplishments of Worshipful Brother Chris Scott and the esteemed list of Worshipful Masters who came before him.  My primary goals for the upcoming year include the following:

 ∙ I would like to increase our membership.  I encourage you to consider worthy candidates and explore with them the precepts of Freemasonry and their interests in that regard.

 ∙ I would like to see more participation from our long-standing members and past Masters.  While we have benefitted from an influx of new members in the last few years, I believe we have also suffered as a result of a declining presence of the Brothers and past Masters who helped build the Lodge to what it is today and who have a wealth of knowledge and experience that would benefit the newer members of our Lodge greatly.

 ∙ I would like to improve the financial strength of this Lodge through participation in various volunteer opportunities.  I believe that increasing our financial resources will allow us to ensure the success of this Lodge for many years into the future.

 ∙ I would like to continue to build on the quality of our Degree work and also assist Brothers in preparing to move up in the line by periodically holding “step up” meetings in which the Brothers will have the opportunity to fill the chair above them in the line. 

 None of these goals can be accomplished without your enthusiastic support.  I am hoping I can count on your support in the upcoming year in achieving these goals.  Equally important, I hope to see you in Lodge.

Fraternally yours,

Daniel R. McCune
