Grand Treasurer’s Message
My Brothers,
I would like to thank each one of you for showing confidence in me by allowing to represent the Grand Lodge as your Grand Treasurer again this Masonic Year. I am excited about this position which I take very seriously and will perform all the duties of Grand Treasurer to the best of my ability.
The Grand Master has also asked me to serve as the Chairman for the Museum and History Committee. Our museum has been completely renovated and we have many new items that we added in the past year. I would like to invite all the Brothers to stop by the Grand Lodge Building in Jacksonville for a tour the Masonic Museum and the Grand Lodge Office.
I look forward to seeing all of you, especially during the Grand Master’s Official Visits. Please take the time to speak with me and allow me to shake your hand.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
R∴W∴ Rudin Boatright
Grand Treasurer
