“We respect and honor the committed brethren who have come before us and the legacy of service and quality they left us.”
Winter changes to spring and now we look to summer. Once again a change of season is upon us. As sure as we live and breathe we know the seasons will change. Sometimes they change abruptly, and sometimes they change in a wonderful easy transition we hardly notice. This for me is an example of a timeless treasure; something that I know I can count on, that was here every year before me and will be here every year after me.
True to our Grand Master’s theme for this year, Freemasonry is a timeless treasure. Not for the buildings we build or the things we have done, but because our values and commitment to each other live on for generations and will long after we are in that celestial lodge above.
We here at the Ohio Masonic Home feel much the same way about the organization that you have entrusted to our care. We respect and honor the committed brethren who have come before us and the legacy of service and quality they left us. We take the responsibility to be your living expression of our obligation to take care of worthy and distressed Brothers and their families.
We want you to know that we are your partner in the aging process and that distress does not mean that all the brethren we serve are fiscally distressed, but that we are all distressed at times in our lives. The staff and board of your Ohio Masonic Home work diligently on making this great organization a timeless treasure that will continue into the future much like the changing of the seasons; a true expression of our Masonic Values and obligation that will remain for many, many years to come.
Enjoy the changing seasons, and I hope you take time to relax and enjoy all the timeless treasures and memories in your life.
