We broke new ground, planted the
seeds of stronger lodges,
now let's harvest the fruits of our labor.

Goal:
Breaking New Ground
1st Ground Breaking
Since this is a benevolent society, I propose that
the Grand Lodge establish a fund to help its members with their final
expenses.
2nd Ground Breaking
We should establish a mentoring program to help new
incoming officers in each lodge. Teach them what their duties are
and work with them so they learn and will be able to pass this along
to their successors. All too often we assume that people know what
they need to do.
3rd Ground Breaking
The Grand Lodge appropriate some funds to help defray
the cost of travel for people that will be doing the teaching.
4th Ground Breaking
Go out and recruit new members. New members are the
life blood of our order. Without them we will die. As members age,
life causes them to become less and less active. We need some younger
members to take the torch so to speak and run with it.
