Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

This past Friday on July 30, we held our quarterly session. Surprisingly in the vacation season and the heat we had a standing room only crowd in our Grand Joint Council meeting.

In this meeting a proclamation was presented to our past president and vice president Sis. Hazel Stewart and Ill. Malachi E. Morgan for their years of service to the Grand Joint Council. Each proclamation was signed by their perspective State Senators.

In the Grand Lodge session immediately following we presented a 20 year certificate to Bro. Denard Williams.

We also unveiled the official Grand Lodge coin which was received very well by the brotherhood.

The Supreme Convention report was received and adopted into the archives of the Grand Lodge. Also on the Trestle Board was the youth basketball tournament, the fall bowling league, the business venture of Job Grand Lodge, the unveiling of the sick and shut in page on the Grand Lodge's website, etc.

The following day we traveled to Trenton NJ for the Grand Exalted Degree's quarterly meeting. The main topic of discussion were the preparations for the upcoming state Conclave in September.

Please support or Grand High Priest and Grand Eminent Commander is pre-registering and booking your hotel room in a timely manner.

The Consistory was also given time at this meeting to present the designs for their department.

After these meetings several brothers lead by the NDGM convoyed down to Delaware for their Annual BBQ.

We thank you for attendance at these several communications and events. We wish you a joyous remainder of the summer.

Fraternally,
