I've just discovered that our SW has been approached and asked to step aside after four years of hard work so that a PM can be elected and installed; several of the line officers have also be approached and to their credit, all have declined. Said PM was in the East for five years, during which time the lodge stagnated with no activity save for paying the bills every month and initiating candidates that we never saw again.
Now with step up night just two weeks away, I have decided to follow suit and resign as an officer;the SW and myself have already inquired about affiliation with another lodge nearby in the same district before we formally demit. It is sad that one of the oldest lodges in the country (chartered 1786) has come to this.
