Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
This week I made three stops around the state. On Tuesday August 17, my family and I attended the final regular season game of the Job Grand Lodge Youth Basketball Tournament. The game was between Districts No. 4 and 5. It was an entertaining game.
The following Day, Ill. Malachi E. Morgan and I visited the new lodge in District No. 3. This was the very first meeting of the newly formed lodge. The new brothers were very excited and had lots of questions. It gave Ill. Morgan and I great pleasure to have this new lodge in the District as well as in the state.
We would like to thank Bro. Donald Jones, Worshipful Master of Doric No. 6 for his assistance is being the ritual teacher and Ad Hoc WM of the lodge until it is officially chartered.
Lastly on Thursday, the family and I attended the first playoff came of the Tournament. Ironically, it happened to be between Districts No. 4 and 5. The rematch was even more dramatic with the game being decided in the final seconds.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
