Companions,
I want to express my sincere gratitude for your trust and for electing me as Thrice Illustrious Master for the ensuing year. Serving our council in this capacity is a privilege and an honor. My dedication to Masonry, and especially to the companions within the Lubbock York Rite, is very important to me.
I want us to promote transparency, ensure are business structure is efficient, pursue ritual excellence, all while promoting peace and harmony. This will only make our Council stronger and leave a legacy for many years.
It will take more than the 6 meetings we have scheduled for the year. We will have to labor between those dates to make things happen. I am more than willing to work, I hope you will join me.
May no contention ever exist, but that noble emulation of who can best work and agree.
Fraternally,
James A. Clark:. Thrice Illustrious Master
