Not sure how you get up so early MWGM but glad I got on here to read this before the long drive (actually ride) over to Wenatchee and this is usually when I go to sleep but I reset my human clock after 5 days so I will see you there. (thanks to my chauffeur MW Arnie) Thank You for your year as MWGM and every year before and after that.
Thank you for your very kind words Brother. I appreciate it! As for my getting up so early, alas, I scheduled my message to post when it did about a week prior. One of the benefits of tech!
MWGM Cameron, thank you for a great year in Masonry. Thank you for the essays and different topics that were discussed with passion and wisdom. Thank you for hosting the Sunday evening forums. You welcomed me and all the Brothers and made us feel comfortable. I’m so very glad that I am able to proudly call you Brother. I wish you all the best on your new chapter of life.
Hope Emeth continues with you. I admire your leadership skills and thought provoking topics on here. I was honored to have gone through the York Rite initiations with you. Cheers, brother!
Masonry isn't in decline, its in a refinement. Getting smaller isn't a bad thing so long as it brings us back to our fundamental value ask and refines our focus to the alchemical allegory that is the sojourned initiatic experience. What is in decline is the CIVIC club house that freemasonry became in the 40s. The fraternity is strong in its bond between the members. The temple that is our own personal lodge, is what will remain of this phoenix. Masonry, is transforming. See it as that, and there is no need to lament this contraction. As once a Famous Modern Mason John Raymond Shute said, We dedicate ourselves "to that small but gallant band of fellows who find in the smaller groups the real functioning Freemasonry."

Thank you for your service, your leadership, and your wise counsel MWGM.
Thank you VW. I've been greatly honored by your support all of these years!

Thank you Brother. I appreciate your long standing support of me, and of Emeth! The best is yet to come for this project I think.

Yes indeed, after a short vacation, Emeth will remain, hopefully bigger and better than it was before!
