Yesterday VW Jeremy Yielding and I had our first meeting to discuss the 2021 Lodge Leadership Retreat.

Short story, It's going to be great!

We'll be in a new venue at the Wenatchee Convention Center, be offering some wonderful new classes, and have added some new instructors to the mix as well.

Building a strong and thriving Masonic Lodge isn't an easy thing to do, but this retreat gives those who attend the tools needed to do so.

Plus it's a lot of fun. A casual event, filled with loads of fellowship!

Don't forget, your wife or girlfriend is welcome too. Melinda is planning a ladies program that will prove to be both informative and fun. I understand it will include wine too, likely a lot of wine!

Here's a touch of straight talk though.

We do have Lodges, and Districts, who very consistently attend the LLR each year. We also have Lodges and Districts who haven't sent anyone to the LLR for many years.

As expected, Lodges that don't send members to the LLR seem to be Lodges that are consistently struggling from year to year. We can certainly learn from that, if we are willing to see that which is plainly in front of us.

If your Lodge is struggling, there is nothing better you can do to turn it around then send your Wardens and Deacons to the LLR. It will equip them with the knowledge they need to help your Lodge thrive.
