Letter from the Master - November 2009 

Brethren, 

The last time I addressed you, it was the start of the Masonic year.  Now sadly, it is already nearing the end of my term as Master of the Crittenden Dry Ridge Masonic Lodge.  It has been a privilege to serve such a fine group individuals.  I would like to thank all of those who went the extra mile in order to plan, organize, carryout and achieve all of our Masonic events and goals throughout the year. 

Congratulations to Brother Jason Deitz for being appointed to serve as our District Deputy Grand Master, District 18 for the 2009-2010 Masonic year.  I’m sure Brother Deitz will make our Lodge proud and will certainly meet the high expectations of our newly elected Most Worshipful Grand Master, Todd Eastham.  Brethren, quoting a comment made by Brother Deitz at our last stated communication, “We [Crittenden Dry Ridge #694] are the flagship for what Masonic Lodges should be doing not only in our District, but across this great Commonwealth”.  This comment has been echoed throughout our Grand Body and should make us proud to be members of CDR #694.  Our hard work and efforts have truly shown over the last couple of years and not only reflected in our highly successful charity programs, but also in our recent obtainment of the Grand Master’s Excellency Award for the year 2008.  

I can only hope that you all feel the same as I in saying, what an honor it is to be a member of the greatest fraternity the world has ever known!!  May the Supreme Architect of the Universe keep, protect and bless each and every one of you and let all take due notice and govern themselves accordingly.

Fraternally Thine,

Jerry F. Keith II, Master

Crittenden Dry Ridge Masonic Lodge #694
