Brothers, Sisters and Friends:



On Saturday September 5, 2009



King David No. 80, Freestone No. 1, Stars of Elegance No. 225 and the Youth Department held a school supply drive. The two lodges along with the chapter and youth department gave away school supplies to neighborhood children.



At the same time they provided a BBQ for those who came by to receive these supplies.



While at the Grand Lodge I checked on the status of the work being done on our temple. I am pleased to report everything is going well.



After the above function, I visited Bro. Tyre from St. Samuel No. 38 who is in Kessler Rehab facility. Bro. Tyre is in good spirits and is recovering well.



Following Kessler, I visited a site on the South Mountain reservation to check its promise as a site for our Memorial Day BBQ.



We wish everyone a safe and joyous Labor Day Weekend. As this marks the end of our recess period, I look forward to each lodge getting back to work.



May God Bless You



Fraternally,
