I am in the East this year at least until December when we hold elections and it looks as though I will be back in the East next year - I was told I have to stay there until I get it right - I think this may be a life sentence LOL

Same here, but I am in Copperas Cove, TX. I sit in this spot with the brothers who were initiated and raised around the same time as was because I get a better view of the lodge proceedings and, being the youngest/newest MM in the lodge, I feel it's easier to learn the traditions, rules, regulations, and by-laws of Blue Lodge this way. Plus the JW will explain anything to me if I ask or get a look of confusion on my face. |

Even though I'm deployed I'm still at the will and pleasure of the Brothers, Companions, Sir Knights, and Companion Knights. I look forward to the elections to see what happens. I think I will be re-elected to all my current chairs except in the Royal Arch Chapter.
At Grand Lodge a few weeks ago I was re-elected to sit in the West in the Lodge of Research. The Brothers tried to elect me to the East, but I declined as I would not be able to perform my duties or be installed. The latter being enforced by our jurisdictions Consitution and By-Laws. |

I was officially asked to sit as the JD next year by the SW. So, in December, I will be installed. I will also be given the task of "Charge Bearer." This is apparently due to my inability to say, "no."
![]() I look forward to it, as I find the ritual quite appealing and insightful. The JW this year has also asked me to participate in some Masonic plays that he wants to present in Lodge [due to the necessity to Tile]. Next year should be very interesting in this area and I am grateful and appreciative to be a part of it! ![]() I extend my fraternal hand ![]() Have a Fantastic Masonic Year, Brothers! |

There are talks of me possibly being balloted for the Junior Warden chair.
(I have already given my MM proficiency, so that isn't a problem) Apparently I have impressed the members with my ability to memorize at a fairly quick rate. -YB |

Wow, only 6 months as a MM and you are headed for the South. How many active Brethren in your Lodge? Certainly in our Scottish system the norm is to start from IG then up through Deacons then Wardens and finally into the East. Personally, as a JD in one Lodge and a SD in another, I recommend being a Deacon. Its a very rewarding and interesting role to play. Last Masonic year, I was JD and guided my friend and candidate through the 1st. Later this month I get to take him through his 2nd Degree as the SD !
My personal feeling is that to get the most out of Masonry, one should not rush through degrees or actively seek higher office. Only with time, hard work and experience can the prefect Ashlar be crafted.

You have to appointed as a JD or SD before you can be elected to be a JW in my lodge. As well as good memory skills, you must cook pretty good as well

There's simply not brothers that don't want to hold a chair. And as it has rather lengthy parts (as opposed to the lower chairs) some of the members feel that I would be better suited in the JW chair. It's not a definite deal yet though - so don't hold your breath. :P - YB |

I'm sitting as chaplain for the remainder of this year and next year. It was humbling to find out that when the chaplain kneels at the alter, he actually presides over the lodge for the duration of the prayer.

A group of us newer MMs sit in the south at the sides of the JW. It gives us a better view of everything going on in the lodge (sepecially during ceremonies) and we have a knowledgable brother close by to answer questions for us (not that the other brothers wouldn't). We don't sit in the north because we use a projector for lectures and ceremonies and the images are projected on the north wall. |

First meeting as a MM I sat as the SS. I really felt it was an honor because the JW who was wonderful was on my IC. They then nominated me for the Asst Sec so I sat there until a PM took that position back. I think the mention of mailing list, directory, membership database and website scared them.
![]() So, i'm back on the bench so to speak. When I had the honor of visiting my Companions Lodge he is in the south, so when the WM asked me to be his SS, it was a great honor. |
