Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
On Saturday March 20, we held another Masonic Dollar Day at Sisters of Soul in Linden NJ.
Masonic Dollar Day is an example of the Grand Lodge's charitable contribution to neighborhoods throughout New Jersey.
The Masons' Executive Board chooses different small businesses to support throughout the state and the members show up in full force to support that business.
The Grand Lodge, Grand Royal Arch Chapter and the Grand Encampment also made financial donations to Sisters of Soul.
We would like to thank the members who attended the Masonic Dollar Day.
That evening the Deputy Grand Master made an official visit in my place to Absalom of David No. 36 in Jersey City.
As a member of the lodge it would have been a conflict of interest for me to inspect the work of the lodge for the lodge of the year award.
As expected Absalom did very well. All three Fellow Craft Masons gave lectures as well as the lodge lecturer Bro. LeGrand.
As usual, the communication was very spirited to say the least.
Afterward, the Deputy and I made an appearance and the Marshal Department's Annual Affair.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
