Master’s Message
Brethren,
I trust this correspondence finds you and your family well.
We have started this new year early and I would like to thank our officers for putting the installation together, preparing the building, and having a delicious dinner in such a short period of time. For those that attended it looked seamless but to the brothers in the know it was a tough road to go down but everyone worked together to make the event wonderful. Thank you brothers for making it happen. I would like to take a moment and thank our installing team. RWB John Brand (Marshal), MWB Richard Smith (Chaplin), and RWB Charlie Wiegert (Master). The evening was well-received and everyone had a great time.
We have had our first meeting already and our officers who have worked hard these past few months to prepare did an exceptional job in our opening and closing. We are excited for the ensuing year as we have a MoChip program we will be co-hosting, a chance to advance class we will be participating in, masonic education, charity work, and many more events planned and in the making. Please if you have an idea that you would like to see the lodge participate in let us know, better yet, get involved and chair an event.
November 2nd we will be traveling to St. Louis Lodge #1 as they are hosting a talk on King Solomon. This will be one of our masonic education trips throughout the year, please plan to attend as it affords us the opportunity to meet brothers from around the city and have some fellowship.
We hosted a Boy’s Night Out at Blueberry Hill Tuesday evening after Grand Lodge concluded. We invited three (3) of our potential candidates to meet and greet with us for off site fellowship
Finally, again I would like to thank our officers for stepping up, we need everyone working together to make this year a great one. I look forward to seeing everyone at Grand Lodge on Monday.
Fraternally,
RWB Andrew S. Oberman
Worshipful Master
Secretary’s Corner
Dear Brothers of Tuscan Lodge,
I trust this message finds you well and filled with the spirit of Masonic fraternity. I wanted to share with you some highlights from our recent participation in the 201st Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Missouri.
Tuscan Lodge was proudly represented by seven of our Brothers at this significant event. It was a gathering filled with historical moments, including the transition of leadership, which is always a poignant and meaningful occasion in our Masonic journey.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Most Worshipful Brother Richard W. Kaeser for his unwavering leadership during his year of service and throughout his Masonic career. His dedication to the craft has left an indelible mark on our Lodge and the broader Masonic community.
As we bid farewell to one era, we eagerly welcomed our new Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Charles F. Wiegert, and his distinguished Grand Line. We are excited about the opportunities and initiatives that his leadership will bring to our beloved fraternity, and we look forward to the year ahead under his guidance.
It is during events like the Annual Communication that we are reminded of the strength and unity of our Masonic family. We are privileged to be part of a tradition that spans centuries and continues to thrive, thanks to the dedication and commitment of Brothers like you.
Let us embrace the future with optimism and continue to uphold the principles and values that define our fraternity. Together, we will build upon the legacy of Tuscan Lodge and contribute to the well-being of our community and our fellow Masons.
Fraternally,
RWB William E. Archibald
Secretary
