Companions,
This trestleboard is the first opportunity to express my humble appreciation for the honor of being elected High Priest for the ensuing Capitular year. I'll strive mightily to live up to your expectations, and with your help this year will be filled with Masonic Light, genuine brotherhood, community service, Masonic charity, family fun, and of course good food at every opportunity.
The Chapter's new slate of officer for the next Capitular year were installed at 2:00PM on September 30 in a wonderfully dignified public installation ceremony. The Installing Team were: Ex. Terence H. DuVall, Installing Officer; Ex. Hamilton E. "Buck" Pape, Installing Marshall; Rt. Ex. John W. Bullach, Deputy Installing Marshall, and Mt. Ex. James W. Smith (PGHP), Installing Secretary. Each of you have my heartfelt thanks.
Similarly, the efforts of all those Companions, family members, and guests who made the installation and reception so memorable are genuinely appreciated, and a special "Thank You" is extended to all who contributed a dish for the reception. Those in attendance appeared to have taken the selected theme for the year to hears as "Brotherhood and Toleration" flowed freely. Thank you one and all.
As a reminder, the Grand Annual Convocation is just around the corner in November, so make your room reservations early. Until we gather again.
Holiness to the Lord,
Mike Riley, HP
