First I would like to thank the brothers of Concordia lodge for giving me

the privilege and honor as serving as master. My goals for the year are to

increase membership, have our new brothers more actively involved in Lodge

activities, have programs that will promote comradery and Masonic

Fellowship, define long range goals, develop a three to four years calendar,

improve our proficiency in ritual and degree work, and support our Masonic

Youth Programs. I would also like to see the visibility of Concordia Lodge

increased in the local community by our participation in community projects

and or events. I realize that these things can only be accomplished if I, the

Lodge officers, and brothers all work together. I will do my best to do my

part.

Fraternally,
Doug Schroeder
