Acacia’s Past Masters

The Past Masters of any Lodge are the repository of experience and proficiency.
They should be the guides of conduct and planning, the two parallel lines
perpendicular to the circle of the Lodge, if you will. They are the
living history of the Lodge and should be consulted and respected in that regard.
As such, their service to their Lodge is never finished, particularly in the
years immediately following their term in the East. That being said, the Lodge
will only survive under fresh leadership and new ideas. The officer corps
must strive to not only perpetuate traditions, but to establish new events that can
grow to be traditions. They must be willing to replace the outdated with
the reality of the present. These two groups working in harmony and supported
by the brethren will keep this great fraternity viable and alive.
