Exalted Ruler's Message
Welcome To Watertown Lodge #496
January 2026
Happy New Year to all. Hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday season. Time seems to be flying by and it is hard to believe another year has come and gone. We continue to help out with supporting our community and Veterans.
All of our committees are working on and planning events for our members to enjoy. Attending events even just to observe will give you an idea what it takes to put these together. If you interested in volunteering don’t be shy. Someone will gladly help you to become an active volunteer.
Same with helping out with cooking. All that stuff in the kitchen can be intimidating but it really is just a bigger version of your home kitchen. We really do need new people to help out cooking. We have several members that would be willing to help you learn how we get things done in there. Don’t be afraid of learning something new. You might be thinking what if I make a mistake, we all do, and I can attest to making many. We all make mistakes. If we didn’t, why would they put erasers on pencils. By volunteering you get to meet new people and maybe make some new friendships. I know I have. This is your lodge. It is what you make it.
Fraternally yours,
ER Philip K Nuffer
