My Brothers,

I wanted to thank you all for electing me as your Worshipful Master for the installing year 2012. I assure you that I will perform

to the best of my ability and lead Union Lodge #40 on the correct path that we have been partaking on since I came to this lodge in 2006. I

started my Masonic journey in 2000. I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in 2003. From there I received further light masonry

in masonry by becoming a 32° Scottish Rite Mason. I continued my journey and received further light in masonry as a York Rite

Mason, where I became a Knights Templar within the Washington Commandry 1.

I will do my part as Master of Union Lodge #40 to continue the great work that was left to me by the great Past Masters of the

years before, such as most recent Past Masters Geraldo Martins, Charles Pomeroy, Kevin White, Andrew Goddard, and Chris Gould, who

remain very active in Union #40’s operations in Labor and Refreshment.

I ask you all to join me at our stated communications and participate in making Union Lodge the great pillar of society that it has

become.

Fraternally yours,

Frank M. Grande

2012 WM Union Lodge #40
