Brethren;
Throughout the life of an individual as well as that of the people, there is always moments of emotion and of joy. This evening, the 17th of December 2011, is one of them. With the presence of all the Dignitaries, render the aspects of this Meeting even more solemn.
To all the wonderful praises given on my behalf by the Past Master WB Franklin Bartley, after taking the vows of my profound engagement, and during the passing of the Gavel of authority which entitle me the required quality to rise to the Oriental Chair; and that I may preside the Labors of this Respectable Lodge. To that my Brothers, it goes to the bottom of my heart.
Brother Officers, and you Beloved Brothers of the Lodge, I want to assure you that this gavel the symbol of my authority, will also be a symbol unification and of love. My administration will be based on the Plumb Line of renewing and of transparency. There will be many structures in place to enable the Lodge to function to its utmost capacity. I will say this, my Brothers, I am counting on the entire collaboration of the College of Past Masters and particularly, all the members of this Lodge so we may move forward.
Most Worshipful Past Grand Master Clifford Stamm, you have opened the door for our Lodge to begin, and for that, we will never forget you. Most Worshipful Past Grand Master George Greytack, you have given us a permanent Charter which allow us to work and receive wages as such; on behalf of the Brothers, I thank you and we are also forever indebted to you for putting aside your busy schedual and personal obligations to come to my instollation and that of the Officers of 2012.
Finally, to you beloved Sisters and Brothers, Families and Friends, who have come from afar, we heartily thank you for answering our invitation. We will also take advantage of this wonderful occasion to reiterate our loving wish of health and prosperity to all of you for the Holidays and for the New Year.
May the Great Architect of the Universe bless us and keep us steadfast. God bless America, and God Bless our country Haiti.

As Connecticut Freemasons we embrace the tenets of Friendship, Morality and Brotherly Love. We do this by using the teachings of Freemasonry to better ourselves, our community and each other. At our lodge we make Masons and here at our website we show you our history, activities and schedule of future events.
The Masonic Fraternity does not invite anyone to become a member, instead we wait patiently for the special man to knock on our door and seek admittance. Perhaps your visit here is that "knock" on our outer door.
Feel free to browse our site; investigate us and Freemasonry! See for yourself what we are doing here. We hope this site interests you into becoming a better man and joining the greatest and largest Fraternity in the world.
Connecticut Freemasons: making a difference, here and around the world.
