My special thanks to all the officers and participants for their excellent work in performing their ritual work.  Putting on six consecutive degrees and having the Grand Lodge Inspection at the same time during these last 3 months has been no easy task. I extend my sincere appreciation for everyone�s hard work, it really showed their dedication and support.

I look forward to our upcoming events including our annual picnic and Easter Breakfast and Egg Hunt for the kids. Gary and Janet Jacopian always do a great job putting together these Christmas and Easter celebrations. I would like to especially thank them and all those who assisted in making these events successful.

Coming up in May, we are planning to have a dinner night out with everyone welcome to attend.  We plan once again to have a Stratford Day booth to give out Masonic information and simultaneously sponsor a C.H.I.P. event. This year our picnic will be held at Wolfe Park in Monroe. It will be a combined effort between Washington Lodge  #19 and our Lodge.  I am confident we will have an awesome turn out and a great time!

So far, this year has been a great experience and I have learned even more. Together with our strong corps of officers and the backing of our members, we can continue our good work.

Thanks once again for your support.

Fraternally and sincerely,

W. Br. William G. Gunter, Jr., Worshipful Master
