Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
On Wednesday Nov. 25 I attended Absalom of David's Annual Thanksgiving Soup Kitchen.
I also attended Providence Missionary Baptist Church's food basket giveaway which was assisted by St. James No. 37 and Sisters of Peace No. 120 and a donation by Absalom of David No. 36.
On Thanksgiving Day I supported Widow's Son District No. 1 in their Thanksgiving effort. District No. 1 donated turkeys and served food at the shelter system located on Grand St. in Newark.
I congratulate these lodges and those I could not visit for their charity and admonish them to keep up the good work.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
