Where Do You Sit.

Well brethren today after elections I was approached by the Worshipful Master elect and was asked to sit at his right hand for the ensuing year! I was very humbled that he felt me worthy to sit at his right hand being newly raised last April. Looking forward to serving my lodge next year as senior deacon!

Ah, got it. In my environment they would have asked "Are there any other nominations" - so that one blew right past me

This past week I was appointed Junior Deacon of my Blue Lodge, and Royal Arch Captain of my Chapter.

Congrats BigBob!

SD.

Going back into the East.

I got appointed Senior Steward last night at my Lodge. My First Lodge meeting as a master mason and I appointed Senior Steward. WOW !!!

I think that depends a lot on the lodge. In my lodge we have seen interest of being officers by many newer brothers. Right now, all line officers are not PM except for 1 and he is stepping out of lane next year. I know other lodges that have a full line of PM's as well.

I sit center in the North, watching over the ceremonies, helping out where needed.

Another Year In The East

Steward. We don't designate senior vs junior. We both sit in front of and to the right and left of the JW.

I set at the right of the SW. Thanks to a good bro moving to the east coast.

Simple man   ....
Not all Lodges/GLs have the same seating or Lodge layout as Georgia.    Some Lodges also, have additional Officers.   ...So yes it is confusing when someone gives a station or location we do not use and not state the Office/Station name.   ...  On the right of the SW, I think would indicate the station of the 'Inner Guard'.  Not used in our GL, but in Bro:. D'02  post I'm not sure what that is too.

Another Lodge layout can be seen in this thread http://forum.mastermason.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10030

The same as in Georgia.  Only we say "On the right and in front of the SW"   Look at the 2nd page of link given in the above post.   That is the floor plan of my Lodge and typical layout of a Georgia Lodge.    ... A few Lodge differ slightly, but because the building was not purpose built as a lodge.

I generally sit front row in the West with some other FC's/EA's.

I my Gl the Stewarts are to the Left and in front of the SW & WM as shown by the .2nd floor plan.  .... Different lodge layour ...

I sit to the right of the WM in the East! Fraternal Greetings from the S.D., of St. Albans Lodge Foxboro MA!

Glad that you said this Brother. It had to come our sooner or later and I was sorely tempted!!!!

Where do I sit?  At a desk to the left of the Worshipful Master.  I'm quickly drawing to the close of my first year as Secretary of my mother lodge.  

I usually sit a couple of seats down on the left side of the JW. The older gents usually sit in the north it seems.

I am sitting in the East at this time, next year may try at sitting to my now Left. Our Secretary has done a great job for more than his fair share of time. I ask if he was interested in a assistant and he is, however I told my Senior Warden I would sit wherever he needed me. ( we have a full line of new Officers and new members wanting to jump in... ) So we will see in a few months where I will be next year. 

I am Secretary  AGAIN!!!!

Its a job for life!

I went from the back bench to the left of the Master.
