During the months of October and November 2009, I along with the Lodge Service Committee, conducted 16 Grand Master Area Meetings throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. These Area Meetings provided me with an opportunity to meet many of you personally and share my vision for continuing the Iowa Masonic Journey.
A big thank you goes out to Tim S. Anderson, Executive Director of the Lodge Service Committee for the many hours dedicated to helping these meeting become the successes that they were. In addition, much gratitude goes to the Lodge Service Committee members who attended these events and helped them be successful. Craig L. Davis, Chairman of the Committee on Division & Reference attended the vast majority of the Area Meetings and helped the attendees understand the similarities between effective mentoring and coaching sports. Thank you RW Brother Craig. Most of the meetings included presentations and words of wisdom from either Bill Paisley, Executive Officer of Iowa DeMolay, or a Senior DeMolay,demonstrating or reporting on the success of having FUN while making a difference. Also, I want to thank the 16 host lodges for all of their hospitality. Last but certainly not least is a great big thank you to everyone who attended one or more of the Grand Master's Area Meetings this year. You Brothers are the leaders of your lodges and I thank you very much for your attentiveness and receptiveness to the Grand Master's Program this year.
