Brothers, thank you for electing me to serve Nellis Lodge
again as its Master. It is a very great honor to preside over
the 50th Anniversary Year of the founding of our Lodge.
We are extremely fortunate that our Charter Master, W. Al
Schouten PM (Vegas 32, 1959-Nellis 46, 1963) is still
attending meetings and participating in degree work. This
50th Anniversary is dedicated to his service to our Lodge.
This year will also be a development year for our Officer
Corp. There will be new opportunities for the Officers to
receive and participate in education programs, Lodge
operational meetings, the Degrees and hopefully this will help
all of them to develop into the leaders this lodge will need for
the future.
We will also return to some of the Meetings that have been
neglected over the past few years, Pot Luck Dinners where
friends and family can attend, Widows Night, to honor the wives of our members
who have passed on and in, 50 Year Masons Night, Past Masters Night and the
favorite of most members of the Fraternity, The Knife and Fork Degree.
Nellis will have a special night on Tuesday April 30th; we will be having an
Anniversary Dinner to, celebrate the 50 years of Nellis Lodge. The location
and times will be in next month’s trestle board. Please set this date aside for this
special event!
The Grand Masters visit is one of the most anticipated meetings of the year, MW.
Richard M.”Mike” Hoaglin GM of Masons in Nevada will visit us on our very first
meeting of the year on January 8th. This will be our Stated Meeting; as such
business and committee reports will be limited or postponed to February.
We will be doing one thing special before the GM delivers his message:
I hereby Summons all Past Masters of Nellis Lodge 46, health,
business and jurisdiction permitting, to be present for a “Call of the
Roll of Master Workmen” at the Stated Meeting on January 8th
,
2013. Please call me to be excused.
Sincerely and Fraternally
Jeff

Brethren,
I would first like to thank you for giving me the
honor to serve as your Senior Warden for the
New Year. I am looking forward in working with
all the officers of the lodge.
I am looking forward to a fun and prosperous
Fireworks Booth this year. Although, as we all
know it is hard work, it is also a time to come
together as brothers to help our Lodge and
honor our country. I will appreciate as many
brothers to volunteer this coming year. I will get
sign-up sheets out in a few months.
I am also looking forward to our baseball night tradition and hope you
will all enjoy the game and maybe a few brews. It is a great time for
fellowship and for a family night.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for a fund rising, please let me
know. I believe that it is important for us all to work and play together.
I hope you and your
family had a great
Christmas and New
Years and look forward
to seeing you at the
Lodge.
Let’s have a fun and
good year!
