MWB William B Rogers I would like to thank you for electing me to serve you as your Grand Master at the 278th Annual Communication. As we are taught in our degrees that Masonry is a Life Changing Experience. My life changed forty five years ago this month when I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. I was initiated into a Fraternity that I discovered to be the most loving, friendly and devoted group of men imaginable. I would like to tell you that you have forever changed my life with the Honor you bestowed on me as your Grand Master. I ask all of you for your support, prayers and guidance as I carry out my duties throughout the coming year.
My theme for the year is “Spreading the Light.” By this I mean that under the direction of Rt. Wor. Michael Smith, Senior Grand Warden, the Masonic Education Committeemen and District Deputies will be given Masonic Education topics from the Ahiman Rezon and the Ritual Book to be presented in each of the Lodges in their District. Also I want the Lodges to make contributions to the four Veterans Administration Facilities in South Carolina. We will ascertain the needs of these centers and distribute the contributed funds accordingly.
I am excited about the year ahead of us and the opportunities to further the cause of Freemasonry in this Grand Jurisdiction. Our Ancient Brethren turned this great Fraternity over to us and it is our duty to improve it over to the next generation to be greater that we received it.
I have chosen the Grand Masters Jewel as the centerpiece of my lapel pins with the dates 1737 * 2017 the date our Grand Lodge was established and the latter date of 2017 in hope that as I complete my service as Grand Master the Fraternity will be better because of our labors for this Grand Jurisdiction.
Congratulations to Rt. Wor. Cal Disher elected as Junior Grand Warden, M.W. Gerald L. Carver, P.G.M. as Grand Secretary and Rt. Wor. Rev. A. Robert Nix as Grand Chaplain.
Fraternally and Sincerely,
William B. Rogers
