I want to thank all of you for your support and trust in electing me as Master for the year of 2010. James B Green Lodge has a long and rich history of doing good Masonic work. I'm both proud and humbled to be a part of that tradition.
I also want to thank my officers for their continued dedication and support. This will be the first time since I've been a member that a past master is not filling a chair. Our past masters have never been reluctant to step up and give their time and effort to help out the lodge when called upon. This year we have enough worthy and well qualified new members to fill all the chairs.

Last year was about getting back to basics. This year I want to continue this emphasis. I also want to encourage cross pollination with other lodges for joint participation in coaching and degree work in order to promote the concepts and precepts of the fraternity of Masonry. Fiscal responsibility and lodge stewardship are my other concentration areas for 2010. Nothing worthwhile happens instantly including attaining our financial goals.
We will not be able to do everything this year, but we can start.

WM Perry C Rumble, James B. Green #735 A.F. & A.M.
