As Junior Warden my role goes beyond the specific duties assigned to my station within the lodge. I am generally tasked with assisting the Worshipful Master and supporting the overall functioning of the lodge. I have the opportunity to promote the principles and values of Freemasonry. One of those values is community outreach. With all that is currently happening in Israel, a great deal of it having to do with the harming of innocent woman and children. I encourage you all to reach out to our community here at home, whether it be helping your locally church, temple, mosque, volunteer at a food bank or homeless shelter. Let's show our fellow man (and woman) that we as Masons promote peace, harmony and love. Let's be the positive energy and love we want to see into the world. Who knows it have just be contagious.
