Brethren,

  I'd like to take a moment to thank you for electing me as Master this year. I also thank those who have pledged their support as officers and committee members for the year as well and the members who support us all.

  The officers were installed Saturday January 10 at 3:00 pm with a reception afterwards and our first meeting was on the 12^th. We had a late night but were rewarded with 2 new Fellowcraft   among us eagerly awaiting the 3^rd degree.

  The meal was chicken and dumplings with coconut cake and ice cream for desert, which was delicious. Thanks very much to Brother Randy Williams and his family for cooking.

  There were a few visitors among who was Brother Dave Milidonis who is our new D.D.G.L. It sounds like he has some very exciting things planned for us this year at the school of instructions.

  At our second meeting in January several members will receive anniversary awards for years of service to the fraternity.

Our annual Golf Tournament will be held this year on May 5^th at Eagle Ridge. Please put it on your calendar and spread the word. Last year was a success and we are hoping this year will be better! We'll announce the rest of the plans as soon as they are confirmed.

 

Fraternally yours
Greg Ray
