- 2025-2026 Worshipful Master Letter
Greetings Brethren,
My name is Michael A. Broadhead, and I am honored to serve as the newly elected Worshipful Master of Eastern Star Lodge #13 F&AM. I appreciate your confidence in my leadership and with God’s help I am committed to upholding the high standards of our lodge.
As we move forward together, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the support and dedication of all our members. I recognize that our collective strength lies in open communication and shared values, and I am committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and respected. Together, we can continue to honor our traditions and work toward the betterment of our lodge and community.
Attendance
- Eastern Star Lodge #13 relies on the support of all brothers to maintain its strong legacy. If your health and business permit, please attend your lodge’s meeting held once a month on the 2nd Wednesday. Also let’s not neglect other masonic events such as funerals, St. John’s Day, Divine Sunday, and volunteer activities.
Dues
- Funds are essential for any organization’s success. Paying your dues supports both ESL #13 and MWPHGLVA. Lodges are assessed quarterly for each member; if dues aren’t paid, we must use other funds to cover the assessment. Pay your Dues.
Vision
- My vision for the 2025/26 Masonic year is to enhance the lodge’s excellence across several dimensions. First, I intend to continue and broaden the Master Mason weekly training sessions. Clear goals will be set for all officers, ensuring they are fully prepared to fulfill their responsibilities at every level without hesitation or uncertainty. Second, I propose that our dues structure be adjusted to reflect current conditions and provide financial stability for the lodge’s continued existence. And lastly, beyond safeguarding our real estate holdings, I aim to explore opportunities to maximize the present and future benefits of our current assets.
In conclusion, I would like to express my appreciation to the brothers of ESL #13 for their ongoing support and guidance. I respectfully request your continued encouragement throughout my administration and beyond. Please recall the commitments you made at the altar of Freemasonry, and endeavor to uphold the values that exemplify unity and mutual respect among Masons. I wish you all a productive and successful year ahead. Let’s continue to let the world see how masons love one another.
Worshipful Master Michael Broadhead
- Worshipful Master Michael “House” Broadhead Bio:
Born November 1970 in Brooklyn, New York, Michael “House” Broadhead was destined to walk a path of creativity, service, and leadership. The son of PM Jemmie Broadhead and the late Ida Broadhead, my 2 siblings and I were raised in a family rooted in strong values, tradition, and a commitment to excellence.- Affectionately known as “House,” I was raised in Hempstead, NY, where my natural gift for music emerged early. Without any formal training, I learned to play instruments by ear and found a deep connection to music through percussion and keyboards. By the age of 14, I started refining my skills anywhere there was an opportunity, and by 19, I had begun traveling nationally as a musician. In 1996, I relocated to Virginia and took a leap of faith by launching my own production company. Two years later, in 1998, I founded Housemusic Productions LLC, where I serve as founder and CEO. Through this platform, as an engineer I have produced shows for both local and national artists in gospel, R&B, and jazz. My love for uplifting others through sound also led me to become a DJ and the organist for my church, where I continue to serve with passion and humility.
- I am married, and a proud father to eight beautiful daughters and grandfather to two grandchildren. My family remains the heart of my inspiration and grounding.
- My Masonic journey began long before I entered the Eastern Star Lodge #13. With a rich legacy of Masons in my family, my grandfather, uncle, and father all proudly wore the square and compasses, and I was no stranger to the principles of Brotherhood, Integrity, and Service. In February 2016, I formally began my Masonic journey as a member of Eastern Star Lodge #13 and was raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason in April of that year.
- Since then, I have served the Craft with steadfast commitment and humility, holding several key offices within the Lodge. Through my dedication and leadership, I have ascended to the EAST as Worshipful Master, a role in which I lead with wisdom, creativity, and a servant’s heart. Beyond the Lodge walls, I faithfully support the Grand Lodge by managing its audio and sound needs during the annual Grand Lodge Sessions for the past three years.
- As Worshipful Master, I am devoted to continuing to be a shining example of how passion, purpose, and perseverance can harmoniously align, both in the world of music and within the sacred halls of Freemasonry. With a heart tuned to serve and a life devoted to uplifting others, I remain committed to leaving a meaningful legacy through both melody and masonry.
