R:.W:.Todd Bowden
District Deputy Grand Master
District Five

Brethren, I am looking forward to serving as your District Deputy Grand Master for this year. Our Grand Master, M:.W:. Jeffery S. Foster is a firm believer in Masonic Education and Masonic Leadership Training. His Vision Statement is: Strength in Numbers, Power in Education. The Lodges in District 5 traditionally have strong performances in these areas, but I hope that a great many of you qualify for your Purple Cards this year by completing the Master Mason I, II & III exams as well as completing Lodge Officer Training. There is a plaque for each lodge where the WM, SW, and JW complete the Masonic Leadership Training. It is my goal this year for the Lodges in District 5 to continue to perform well in all areas and for all of us to have some good fun and fellowship while performing our Masonic duties. I am looking forward to visiting every Lodge and meeting with as many of you as possible. This year the entire district committee will be traveling with me to the lodge meetings. Please come out to your lodge and support these committees. Please feel free to email me at DDGM.Dist5@gmail.com with any questions or concerns or just to say hello. God Bless each of you and your families and this great 5th Masonic District.

Fraternally,

R:.W:. Todd Bowden
DDGM District 5
