Brethren,

     Here we are, at the end of June, having completed many things and still with many on the horizon. The lodge repairs and renovations have been completed; thanks go to so many who assisted with their labor, words of encouragement, and suggestions. A huge thank you to everyone for this monumental body of work.

     This year we have more candidates joining our lodge than I have seen in many years. I enjoy watching their journey and supporting them as they learn more about our fraternity. Montgomery continues to exemplify the degrees for these candidates at such a high level, I am always so proud to be part of this officer’s line and lodge.

     Montgomery conferred the Entered Apprentice degree at the most resent Grand Master’s One Day Class. There were 270 candidates, 270 mentors, and numerous others in attendance at the Dayton Masonic Center for this class. I want to thank and commend the team of officers that did Montgomery proud with their degree work.

     As the summer moves into full swing, we have a number of events coming up; we have our annual Charity Golf Outing, a Past Master’s Night (FC Degree), Florence Y’alls baseball game, and our Welcome Back / Flag Retirement night. I hope to see you at some, or all these events, keeping in mind that we still meet every Tuesday. We will continue to update the Trestle Board on our web page.

Fraternally,

Roger White

Worshipful Master 2025-2026
