GOALS FOR THE YEAR
Today, Blue Lodges stand in a unique crossroads of civilization, where societies have information, communication and technology at arm’s reach. With these powerful almost mythological tools… One would think that our capacity to understand each other would be at an all-time high.
Yet, what we find that with all these powers at our finger tips: science, politics, religious beliefs, social and economic topics, and our ability to debate these topics and come to group consensus as human beings and brothers have never been more broken and fractured.
The Answer to the Conundrum of societies inability to unite under common goals, to listening to each other, to find common friendship and brotherly love is one of the greatest gifts that Masonry must give to the world.
But if we don’t outwardly project this content, outside the walls of our lodges, then the light that we could give to the world to fix it will lay entombed, here for some future generation to find.
My goals for Freemasons Lodge 363 this year are to preserve the great work we’ve done up to this point, but to also help rethink and re imagine our lodge in ways that help our light shine outside the lodge room.
Our Lodge’s technology capabilities, our ability to quantify our social, web and email metrics, understanding our content and marketing strategies and how these things reflect in our recruitment efforts of new brothers are all things we are going to solidify this year in 2020.
We will be planning more family events with our wives, sons and daughters, and finally we’ll establish a good cadence for our own masonic education.
I’m excited to work towards these goals with the lodge and it’s principal officers.
Fraternally, and All The Best,
Worshipful Master Damon Sanchez
